I'm in the market for a new stock spoiler for my 1990 Hatchback. I've come across some great condition S14 spoilers, and they LOOK the same from pictures. But I want to know from someone first hand. Are these two stock rear spoilers identical?

Thanks for any help.

Not even close.

The fastback has a crappy foam, rust-inducing spoiler. The S14 has a solid piece that sits maybe an inch or so off of the trunk lid. In other words, the S14 spoiler is nicer, but Ive never seen anyone put it on a fastback, that might be interesting if it isnt too wide to mount.

I think it is too wide, but that’s second hand knowledge (a friend of mine who has an S14 told me because I had the same question).

The S14 spoiler is also slightly curved to fit the slight curve of the trunk so it won't fit on the flat hatch of the S-13 with out modification. It probably wouldn't be worth the effort.
