Spoiler Alert!!
This 4-wide spoiler was introduced in the era of 6-wide cars.

Yes, but it was designed for 4-wides. In its first year it was only used for the Cars 2 sets, which contain almost exclusively 4-wide vehicles.
Spoilers with Shaft? Well he does get with a couple of ladies...

And it wasn't even used as a spoiler. It was used as a hydrofoil.
The first spoiler use is two years later in Ultra agents. In a 'Car' that was at least 12 studs wide.
Amusingly enough, in 75893, this piece was used at the opposite end of the car, as a hood scoop.
Do you think this guy's related to Wicket W. Warrick?
I used these as landing skids for a Cyberpunk twin rotor. They stay in position when held by a plate with clips, which is helpful
I remember when this was used as a riot shield in 70161
Look out, it'll ruin that new series you were watching for you!

The first spoiler use was in 9485, where both Raoul ÇaRoule and Max Schnell use the piece. The reason it doesn’t show up here is because they’re both printed.
versatile piece, wings, ski, spoilers, minifig shield etc.
