LE experts chime in. It's very thick fiberglass. I'm wondering if this was part of the personalize your Porsche progam in 1974.

I don’t know anything about the personal option thing. I would like to learn more. As far as original to LE. It does not look like the original LE spoiler.

LE factory spoilers have 914 part number on them. Your is not a factory one

The factory unit is also injection molded vs the one displayed which is laid up

@914Sixer @914werke I should have known from the bowlsby article.

Thanks I have been studying about the LE for a few years and I own one of each. I either forgot or never remember reading about the personal reference. I read the entire article that you attached, which I have certainly seen before and I thank you very much. So I was thinking that there was a option that you could somehow personalize your car from the factory, which I never heard of. Thanks Again.

You might have been able order the LE spoiler from the factory for 75-76. They are shown in the deluxe sales brochures. Not sure if they if they made it to delivered cars though.

No, thats the aftermarket VPC version. As far as I understand, the factory OEM with the factory PN, and the VPC copy were both available at dealers

I have only ever seen the Factory version. Does anyone have photos of the VPC version, particularly anything showing a part # on it?

I do and will take some pics
JeffBowlsby
Here are some, only conceptually like the factory part.

Yes, they did make it on the 75s when new. My next door neighbor, Bob, bought his 75 brand new with the LE spoiler on it.
