Why am I the only one with this spoiler?

Hello, I was just kind of curious as to why I have one of the only Lasers (1gb Lasers that is) with this style spoiler. I have never seen another Laser in person with this spoiler, and there are only 1 or 2 others that I have found in the dsmtuners gallery. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about it, was it only on early 92 models (my production date is August '91) or something like that?

well, i haven't ever seen a laser AWD turbo in person, mabie that's why you have that spoiler???
 
Quick google search of "92 laser awd" in the images section turns up a handful of them with this spoiler if that helps.

That's funny! They are somewhat rare, I've only seen a few others around here, but they either have no spoiler or that pedestal spoiler that you see on all the other Lasers. I also just went back through the gallery for fun because I remember seeing another Laser with the wraparound spoiler. I found the car, but on further review, its actually either a 1ga Talon wing or an Eclipse wing, it's not like mine.

I ran this search after you mentioned it, and there are only 2 with wraparound spoilers, and those are actually 1gb Talon spoilers, they probably converted the whole rear end to a Talons. Its very strange.
 
well, i think that it was a factory option.

on car-part.com you can search for parts, and under 1992 laser, some of the spolier results give "one piece spolier" or "all three pieces"

odd huh? can anyone confirm that the paint is factory?

That's very interesting. I got the car after it had 92000 miles on it so I can't say for sure that it is the factory paint, however it looks the same as any other 1gb blue Laser I have seen. I also don't think its from an Eclipse or Talon as there are definitely some minor differences. Odd.

A buddy of mine has a 91 n/a Laser and it has the same spoiler that does. Only thing different, is he has what almost looks like 1gA Talon tails in the back. It's been like that since day one. Looks really good though.

Day one since he bought it, or since it was built? My understanding is that no 1ga Lasers had spoilers.
 
My parents bought my car bran new in 89 and it has no spoiler at all it didnt even have the lip that is now on there we purchased that later on from the dealership. I am getting a 1ga talon spoiler and putting it on my car then painting my tail lights center peice and lower trim...

90-91 Talon Eclipse and Laser tails are all interchangeable as they are all the same sizes and shapes. They are also the same as 92-94 Eclipse tails. The only differences are the paint stripes and the symbol. Only cars with different style tails are the 92-94 talon and the same years laser

That spoiler is not factory. It's aftermarket.

I would have to agree with that. The stock spoilers that looked similar to that only came on Talons and Eclipses. Also, the spoiler did not stop at the lip of the trunk. They did reach further past the trunk and were more aggressively styled.
