You'd be better off with a Hawk's 5" 3 piece spoiler to replace yours
Got any pics of the wing you want to put on your camaro????

I agree, no wing please!

try the 88 sc spoiler, that would be unique
or you could use any firebird spoiler, or one from a 91-92 Z28

the only one that shouldn't require any body work/holes to be filled though is the 5" spoiler....

WING???

First off call it a spolier not a wing. Second mke your car agressigive performace wise first other wise you are no better than a *****. I have no prob with people changing from STOCK to STOCK spoliers but thats were you should draw the line. Thats just my $.02

Keep your opinion and apply it to your car, dont try and force it on everyone else.

Anyway, now that everyone has done the standard complaining...

As soon as someone says "I want to get a new wing...." everybody starts freaking out and immediately associates a 5-foot tall park bench on the back of your car.

What kind of wing/spoiler are you thinking of? A high-rise would look good. Wraparound T/A spoilers look pretty neat on Camaros too, and it's only been done a few times. I haven't seen much else that looks good on the back of the Camaro in my personal opinion; I think they did a good job from the factory in this area with the 3pc. and high-rise stock spoilers.

The 91-92 high rise look the best on a camaro.

You did ask for others opinions on what you should do next and he simply said do performance things before some gay wing.

Yea, 5" tall 3-piece looks the best... looks VERY aggressive IMO, just like the '71-73 Z/28 Camaros they came on (thats what they are modelled after)

Yeah guys, shes gonna run a wing!! Time to freak out!!

Just ignore these people. Find a wing you like and slap it on. Dosnt matter what other people think. Do what YOU want to YOUR car. These other guys will try to tell you the "right" way to mod your car, but they usually dont stop to think that maybe ... just maybe ... you might have different appearance preferances than them. Wanting to put on a new wing for a more agressive appearance is justification enough for doing the mod (to those of you hinting that she dosnt go fast enough for it to be functional). Above all, do what makes you happy.

Here are some 'stock style' choices:

Stock RS 3 piece wing
91-92 High Rise spoiler
Hawks 5" spiler (like the RS wing but bigger)

Then the 'not so stock' choices:

WingsWest (they make 2 wings for 3rd gens)
APR wings (Aluminum / CF wings)

Thats about all I know of for now. Good luck!!
