New spolier??? need help.
OK lots of options out there. where to get and what to get. I was wondering if any one has a 4th gen wing on their 3rd gen. Either way i need to no if any of the sites up top are reliable for spoliers. My old one faded so im getting a new fiberglass one.

They sponsers up top have very good spoilers. I say get a fourth gen one, but the fiberglass thirdgen one looks good too.

I have seen a 3rd gen bird with a 4th gen wing on it. It looks like it may take some work, but it looks good.
Do some searching on the boards.

You gotta modify it. The center posts are 2 inches or so too short, plus a few of the studs on the arms need taken out. I didnt modify the sides, but theres a little bit of an arc where as the stock deck is flat. Let me see if I can find a pic of what I mean.

Do you know if you can put a high rise spoiler on if you have the third brake light on the spoiler? If not I will just put a 4th gen spoiler on.

I just put a Wings West 91 Z28 high rise spoiler on my 88 camaro. Mine came out with the shorty wing that had the third brake light in it.
I don't like third brake lights so loosing it didn't matter to me much.
The only diff. I seen was there's an extra hole drilled in the trunk lid for the third brake light's wires.
On mine the extra hole ended up under the left center post of the high rise spoiler.
No big deal cause I had to fill in 4 stock spoiler holes any way, so what's 1 more.
I was able to re use 2 of the stock holes (top centers), but had to drill 4 new holes (left and right coners, bottom centers) to bolt the high rise spoiler on.
Here's pics of mine.. (I placed squares of duct tape over the holes I had to use, so sanding dust, bondo, etc wouldnt get in my car) BTW... I didnt try to get the "spray can repaint" or bondo work 100% cause I'm gonna be re-painting the whole car in 3-4 mo.
