Not true my '91 90q-20v has a metal spoiler, AND has the two center
supports. The "free standing" unit didn't appear until the second
generation 90s hit the US market, which BTW was a wider car so I doubt it
would fit on earlier incarnations. The only spoilers I've see on pre 1991
80/90s are the lips which appeared on 80q (ALA '68 Camaro) and the double
support on the 90q.
