4th gen camaro wing

hey guys. i most likely will be getting a wing off a 98 z28 camaro for 8 bucks. thats right 8 bucks. so i figure its worth a shot at trying to fab it up to fit my 86 camaro. i have a few questions. does anyone have any info on this swap? i have been looking for about a half hour now and cant find anything. secondly is it to short or to long to fit the maro? will i need to cut or extend the wing at all? thanks

pete

oh yeah here is the pic. i hope it works

lol for 8 bucks for sure....i didnt realize you dont have it yet....id just worry about it being wider then the trunk on our cars? anything else and you can just do some shaving to make it fit.

yeah that would have been a cool experiment....someone should go grab the dimensions off a 4th gen wing because if itd be an okay size its always possibly to find a way to mount it.

Holy smokes $185? Where is that guy at in China? Even if it was shiped via a truck line it would be like $60 bucks to ship something that light.
