I've seen more of the TA's and Formulas with the small wing due to the wrap around rotting off, not as many of the Z's or RS's. No idea if the holes are in the same place, don't have a small wing here to measure either.

I always thought the hi-rise wing looked out of place on these cars myself. The RS spoiler looked much better to me

i agree,but it's my sons car....i checked,the 86 bird only has 4 bolt mounts....the 92 has 8.....but the rs spoiler looks better to me as well....
not sure if there is another spoiler out there to cover all the bolt holes or not so may just leave as it...it's original,just too much imo.....

thanks for all input,jd
