2. It will work on your '87. However, you'll need to fill the holes left by your three-peice spoiler and then drill new ones for the wing. I did it and thought it was worth it.
-- Good Luck

I don't think the dealer will have one. Best bet is ebay then one of the restoration companies (year one or classic camaro) or even a junkyard. Bruce may have one at hawks or Roy may have one at thirdgenresource.com (both at the top of the page).
You will have to definately fill the holes in the lid and in the quarter panels.

Buy the wings west one from jegs, its under 200, very well made, and brand new, go to a junkyard and get a decklid from a car with no spoiler, and fill in your old holes in the 1/4's by welding and filler.

Thats why I bought a factory 1991 Z-28.
I've seen several aftermarket Aero wings and most of them had 2 little drain holes on the wing itself that the factory wing doesn't have. The aftermarket one also makes clear to not cover or fill these holes for some reason. The factory one is a better product! Just my $.02

The spoiler2000.com one is made from plastic, poor quality and holes dont line up.
The Wings West spoiler is high quality fiberglass and i'd put it on an equal level with the factory one with the exception that the holes arent exactly the same, most arent using a factory decklid, so its not an issue.
A&A used to make one, its also high quality fiberglass, it isnt available any more but the holes do line up with a factory lid.
The main reason they arent exact copies is probably to keep GM off their backs for copying their parts.

If it was off a '92 Z it was a CAMARO High rise spoiler, NOT a T/A Areo Wing....there's a BIG differance.

The spoiler 2000.com product i received lines up fine with the rear hatch and body lines of the car. It is made of fiber glass. I couldnt be happier with their product. As for extra holes I cant find any.

If that thing is fiberglass, it must be either A. very different than the one they sent me. B. same but both a cheap cheap quality.
It was warped long ways and it took much of a fight to get my $ back from them, idiots talking about maybe I had an aftermarket trunk, on a hatch car, etc. Wont buy from em again.

Yep, you got it me too. I had an 84 Z28 and I cloned it to a 1991-1992 Z28. Got hit and it's now totaled. I said heck with making one....so..I went out and bought the real deal....and did some of my own mods. Just for the heck of it....I've checked my local GM dealer on how much a 91-92 highrise spoiler cost's...and they quoted me about $900 dollars....GM
