Can you still buy the attachment hardwhare for a 91-92 style Aero spoiler?
I just swapped my rubber POS spoiler off my 88 GTA for the 91-92
style,filled the 5 holes, painted,etc. Got the wing mounted,by the 2 bolts that attach it to the rear decklid and from what I've read here.that style spoiler now correct me if I'm wrong attaches differently than the junk one I took off and it only has 4 hooks that are spot welded to the metal trim on the rear glass that slide into the slots on the wing.Can these hooks still be ordered thru a pontiac dealership? Or am I going to have to search for a rear hatch and remove them and reuse?If you can still get the hardware/hooks from the dearership does anyone have a part number?Thanks Bill

I contact the dealership today and they tell me the hardware kit has been discontinued,Damn.The chance of finding a hatch to rob
the clips off of at a junkyard will be slim to none.It looks like I'm going to have to do some fabracating.Once I figure something out
I'll post so anyone else that runs into this problem has at least some alternative.

Same with the 91-92 Camaro z28 spoilers. I'm going to try to get the mounting hardware that comes with an aftermarket one from some guy on ebay.

Wow I thought the 91-92 Z's attached with just a couple of bolts
into the inner legs of the spoiler,something you could pick up at a
hardware store.I'll have to keep my eye on e-bay,maybe I can luck into something.

Wow,I didn't know that. How long did you search before you found the hardware or at least someone willing to sell it to you?

I emailed a guy that sells aftermarket ones on ebay and asked if I could get just the hardware. He sent me a reply back to call him to make an order, but I haven't got around to it yet. Took about 25 minutes of searching, hehe.

UPDATE, I found a company on e-bay that sells the 91-92 style wing and was able to get them to send me a install kit.
Apparently there wing is mounted differently than the factory ones,and there hardware is not going to work.So it looks like some McGeyverism is my only alternative.
