Looks like a Wings West three-piece. Head to their website:

Thanks!
Before you invest in this wing, i would take a look at it in some other pictures. Like on real cars, not wings west pictures. I was highly iterested in this wing for a while, then i saw some pics of it from the side and other angles. It looks too big for the del sol and takes all the attention away from the fron of the car. See if you can't find some other pics of it.

If you want my opinion (which I will give whether you like it or not :p), I would stick to an OEM wing or a Mugen wing. Those are the best looking in my opinion. They flatter the car, follow the lines, and aren't blatently loud.

The Wings West three-piece isn't really that bad though, but I would follow Andrew's advice and find a few more pictures of what it really looks like before you make up your mind. Expensive mistakes suck. I definately wouldn't go any taller than that wing though.

Even though this topic is over and done with already... but is he even talking about the spoiler at all? cause I see little red arrows pointing at the side skirts....?
Which are still Wings West side skirts... but I mean... if he means the side skirts, should not we encourage correct terminology?

I think he just grabbed a pic of what he was looking for. It just happened to have arrows in it.

And if we want correct terminology, technically it's a wing, not a spoiler.

Yea personally the OEM one is one of the best I've seen. I went to a local junk yard, which surprisingly to me had 4 del sols, and found a green del sol that was destroyed in the front, but the everything from the doors back is perfect condition. The owner is going to sell me the trunk lid and wing for 125 and I'll probably give him mine to drop the price a little more.

Can you show me a pic of a Mugen wing for the Del Sol that's your fav?

Forgive the disorganized presentation, but I can't ever find pics when I want to. Anyway, you get the idea of what wings I think work best with the Del Sol's body lines. My current Del Sol will probably keep the OEM wing. If I am able to acquire a second Del Sol in the future (which I hope to do), I'm probably looking at either the Mugen spoiler or Shogun Style wing. My second one will probably be faster so I'm looking to smooth out the air flow, which the Mugen or Shogun style will satisfy.
