It's certainly not stock. A 90 would have the molded 3 piece as opposed to the raised one piece style like that one.

It's certainly not a stock 86/87 wing either, definitely aftermarket. It's also a little narrow, and I doubt it's a wing intended for a Supra.

It might be an aftermarket wing for a late model Mustang:

great guess.It's almost spot on

i just got an 1986 supra and its my first project. im having problems also. the dude before me took an easy way out and crossed wires and made a push button ignition instead of replacing the ignition switch. which im sure messed up the whole electrical system. my battery keeps on dying, i think the crossing of wires blew fuses. and theres also an oil leak which is all under and around the engine, theres even oil where the spark plugs are located! i gotta new battery and the car wont start still, i need help where would i start first??

First of all, post some pics..

replace that ignition switch first...
but going with what i saw on my 1990 which needs a little electric work too.. i'd say check for corrosion on the wires that connect to the battery and all their leads.. if they look good, try your alternator and starter, oil in the spark plug wells would probably indicate a bad valve cover gasket.. or a catastrophic crack in your block... and with your description, you need some seals too... otherwise.. find a cliff to push it off of.. or a new engine.

alright well the starter sound good, the car cranks and all but no turning over.. im getting no spark from the spark plugs either, i was thinking about buying some new ones today too see if it made a difference, because the side electrode of the spark plugs dont look so great. and about the leak, it hasnt leaked on me yet, im pretty sure it all happened before i got the car 2 weeks ago. theres this little container of oil on the left of the engine that says dextron ll, which was overflowed with oil all over it, i took most of the oil out from there so it seems fine.
