please help - spoiler mounting ???
i like the 91-92 hi-rise wing but have really wanted to have a clear center section ... i know that some people have had problems mounting the z28 spoiler on firebirds b/c the rears on 'birds are ~1" wider. do you think that this spoiler would work ? unless i'm mistaken, since there are no center posts it would have to mount the edges/legs of the spoiler directly on the rear decklid ... which means that it wouldn't look like it didn't belong. right ?
info and help is welcomed :hail:
( o and don't worry, i'll take my GTA's current wing off before mounting this one - i don't like the dual-downforce style either =/ )

Yeah, there isn't really enough space to mount the spoiler to the decklid if you removed the center pillars.
Here is a pic of mine directly from the rear,

this is a massively quick and dirty photochop, but suppose that spoiler were mounted the same way ... would it look like this ?
*this was my 300th post!!! while that figure may mean nothing to a post ***** like mark shields, it's a nice big round number ... and it's a start to catching up to him !

The paint color and wheels were not much to fancy either though...

The worst part is that I'm dead serious. I think he even had some yellow decals on the hood (It's been a couple of months since I've seen it). Yep, poor taste at best.

k well to get back on topic 
the rear hatches are exactly the same on chevy/pontiac f-bodys aren't they ? namely i could take an 89 iroc rear hatch assembly including the metal decklid, mount it on my GTA, and have it fit perfectly except i'd possibly lose the defrost and pull-down motor ?

as long as we're talking about transplanting spoilers, how hard does anyone suppose it would be to fit this on the back of a GTA? if a 4th gen trans-am spoiler can fit, shouldn't a 4th gen camaro spoiler be able to fit since this one mounts to the hatch too ?

I have a hatch from a trans Am that has Rear Defrost on it, but My rear defrost hasn't worked since I bought the car, but it should work just fine... Why wouldn't it?
The power pull down workes great too! Again Why Wouldn't it ?
Here is a shot, the Wraparound is currently off getting primed and the deckilid is already in grey primer...
