You have four items in your cart.
The spoiler if of unknown origin, but most likely came from another car. Anyone think of anything that might match it?

Front or rear?
Front looks like 240Z to me.

no clue on the front but the rear looks c4-ish to me.

Is that a beritone touring(something or other)? Wish my sisters M-I-L was willing to sell hers, it has been off the road for 3 years now
+1 on the rear wing looking like a C4 peice

C4s didn't come with rear wings in stock trim.

Front spoiler, not the rear wing.
Thanks.

I vote for first-gen RX-7.

Yeah, it looks a lot like the Victoria British RX7 front spoiler. Don't care for the rear wing, but the little front 'bumperette' is sorta cool looking.

When I worked at Automod (a million years ago) we sold a ton of Xenon front spoilers for the early RX-7. The Xenon pieces were made of a thick black rubber. You could fold one in half and not break it. The one on that Fiat has a similar sheen.

The little bumperette is actually a stock 1977/78 rail-road track aka dual rail style bumpers, cut in half with one of the rails tossed away and the bumper ends cut down.
Mike Mittlestead came up with this solution, and that is his car shown above, and rightly so, that bumper conversion has been called "Mittlestead Bumpers"
Neon, if your sister's M-I-L wants to resurrect her Bertone, hit up XWeband check out the "best of" section for common failures, repairs, hop-ups and mods to improve the cars in general.

Thanks.
It looks like the Xenon are avaliable though. Might try to find one so I can go bumperless (cant find any metal spoilers around here)

But if a person owns a Bertone version, don't call it a fiat. I really need to make Connie an offer on hers. Might be challenge material.neon4891 wrote:

Call it a Fiat. Real owners know that's what they are. We only call them Bertones to differentiate them on a timeline basis, not as some ego driven belief the Bertone built cars are any better.

I would, but I don't want to deal with a pissed off social climbing nurse.
