What is this tail from? Options

[Rider914]

Is this a Red Dawg made tail or is it from the factory on something? Why I ask is there is a P car emblem on it. . . are the lawyers going to come grind it down?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

So what are we trying to fix (aero wise) with the spoiler? It is my understanding that the stock 914 has some rear lift at high speeds.....probably not much of a problem for a 4 cyl. street car, but a perhaps a 6, a track car, and a V8 could spell disaster if not properly managed. I have seen track cars with big rear wings; must be a reason for them. Another thing I read and saw photo's of, were vents to exhaust air trapped under the rear and/or engine bay that were cut into the rear tailight panel or the top of the trunk lid. I would think this would be the best first approach. FWIW.

Opinions on how the Turbo tail looks, is purely personal. Yes, a V8 car probably has some "license" for wings 'n things.
