Default Mystery rear spoiler - Solved!

Didn't have much luck before but will try again on this side of the forum.

I've never seen a rear spoiler like this ever, few hours spent on Google has 0 returns on information, pictures, or even a slight lead...

I would like to sell it down the road, would be nice to know what it is though!(or who made it)

Facts:
Manufacturer: unknown
Application: supposedly 924
Material: fiberglass

Pics in next post.

So..it's kinda like a "super" whale tail ?? does it fit over the existing spoiler? Interesting...

I suppose you could call it that. It is wider than factory, looks to be a replacement as the key hole for the hatch was molded into it.

Kind of reminds me of the spoilers on the 80's Monte Carlo SS, either stand-up or lay-down type. It definitely looks to take up more room on the bottom side rather than the top. Not sure what the design thought was on the aero aspect with this either, seems like its a "visual" piece and not a "performance" one.

I'm going to try and find time to mock it up on my 924 parts car to get a better idea.

It mounts to the body, sandwiched between the hatch and body. It's for use with a spoilerless 924 hatch.

This one looks similar, but has longer sides.



This is the zender one, similar but not the same.

Never seen 4 lug phone dials before. They look odd...

I've seen the 2nd pic before but not the 1st one. It's weird that mine goes across but not along the sides.

Is there absolutely no markings anywhere on the piece? Even a number or letter sequence?

Yes, they should have changed to four holes! Or is that a four 'digit' dial?

Produced and sold by ATS, under license by Porsche (for the design) but not sold by Porsche AFAIK. ATS also made the regular Phones for Porsche, of course.

OK so I removed the factory spoiler so the full effect can be seen, need to do seals anyhow.

It is meant to be run with a plain hatch as the Zender ones do. It DOES mount to the body and here is what it looks like!

Forgot about the rear flares I bought with this piece, which are made by AIR. Odd that I couldn't find anything from them, like this, or ANY markings part numbers or stamping. Almost a 1 off product.

BTW: I put the factory one back on with this aftermarket piece as well, it looks hideous with both.

It's nice and wide but imo it would look much better if it was twice as deep and a touch taller. Good find btw, definitely unique.

Ahah! This did not show when I had looked at AIR's website initially.

Looks like it is a Scca rear spoiler for 924.

http://www.americaninternationalracing.com/custom.asp?id=259246&page=96

They must have been doing work on the website before? Regardless would have been much easier to figure this thing out of it had worked in the first place lol.
This will be going for sale soon along with a set of rear flares after I do some minor prep work. Any interest in the pieces let me know.
Thanks for the help guys!

Yep CGT flares. I gave up an old 924 chassis stuffed with 951 powertrain project years ago. Realized it was a longer path than I had planned for lol.

Buying a 951 proved to be a better way to spend money in the end.
