I voted Hawks because I have one. you need to clarify if you are talking about the 3pc spoiler or the high rise spoiler on later models

The three piece low rise is hawt. > 5" > High Rise

bigdcustoms

what is that hawks like a down force spoiler for high performance use only...lol just kiddin but i like the z28 spoiler no doubt...

thirdgen-noob

clarification, 3 piece 5" spoiler. HAWT!!

LOWRS

The HAWK's looks more factory than that Z/28 one. What lines exactly is the factory one supposed to be following? What kind of Camaro heritage was GM even following here? The HAWK's ducktail gets one thing on my mind....... second-gen IROC. Now that's heritage!!!

That's exactly what it says to me. Looks WAAAY second gen. I'm all about my little stock 1" spoiler. Adds just the right amount of character. Very few cars pull off the Z28 high rise.

love the 5" if my iroc wasn't a convertible I'd get one.

I heard of people having some fittment issues with the Hawks wing, but I know people who had no issues. I say Hawk even though I have 2-92 Z28s. Cause you already have the holes to mount the Hawk wing.

Hawks 5'' I had the Z-28 and got rid of it and now have a new deck lid also. If you deside to get the Z-28 you might want to get a spare deck lid too.

Factory Hi-Rise "wing" gets my vote.

Honestly I don’t like high-rise spoilers; I think they look too much like rice, but if I were forced to choose I would rather see high-rise, then the retro look. Neither is my favorite and would probably stick to the factory spoiler for that car.

Just my 2 cents.

the 5" is way over priced and is YUCK!!!!!

Z28 high rise spoiler.

From what I recall, there was a definite lack of "rice" back in 1991 when that wing came out. Not that r1cers didnt exist, just not nearly as prevalent. I have a hard time calling that wing "rice" when it predated most r1cers. As for heritage...check out the 69 T/A spoiler on the hard top.

I think it just depends on you're preferance and your car of course!
Some cars look good with the 5" hawks spoiler and some just don't.
And there was no ***** issues in 91!

I'll take the factory spoiler over Hawk's...............

TheMutt

I heard the hawks had fitment issues from people on here, but I really like the look of it.

TIMMYS89GTA

iTrader: (28)

you probably also heard from those same people that any part like this,takes some massaging to fit perfect.
I'm not partial to either spoiler,but I know that they both look real nice on the right car/color combo.

Have you even seen the z28 high rise in person? Every angle and shape ties into the body lines and shape of a third gen IROC/Z28, especially the '85-'90 cars (even though they weren't used then).

86irocterror

i vote for the hawks 5". but thats because i have one...lol. people posted earlier are right about fitment issues and mine took alot of prep work before paint AND I MEAN ALOT!!! but now that all the filler and sanding and painting is done, it was well worth it. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x...aropics370.jpg

If it's a 91-92 then it's heritage is a highrise spoiler, which, I must agree, fits the lines of the car perfectly. Otherwise, I believe in a car like an 85-90 Z28, the hawks 5" spoiler is the only way to go. It's got the hard lines that follow the rest of the car including the ground effects.

HAWKS spoiler looks way better!!

Rich92 RS

iTrader: (16)

The "5 inch spoiler" in general looks good, but no worth it in my opinion. Its way over priced, plus more money/time just to get it to look/fit right makes it way not worth it to me. Oh and once you notice how the side pieces on Hawk's 5inch spoiler go past the taillights, it sticks out like a sore thumb and to me that looks butt ugly.

I'd stick with the 91-92 high rise, or stock z28 spoiler until another company makes a better 5 inch spoiler.

DartByU

I liked the Z/28 High Rise back when it came out, it was so different it was cool, but now I really don't like them, the Hawks looks better but I would prefer a 3" high one, I think the 5" is overkill.

Bringing back from the dead. I have had both spoilers and i personally like the 5" the best. Here is a pic of mine.

Factory...

sid rs91

have to go with the hawks 5".....only reason I dont have one, it seems over priced.The money can be spent else where on the car.

been tring to find on that will go with my hood, and looks like the hawks one will be the only one that will flow with it. now just need to find someone that want to sell thiers

Diengrey13

I pick the stock Iroc spoiler over the 5 inch or 3 pce. Looks cleaner. Though the 5" looks a bit aggresive, but thats all i give it, nothing i would ever buy.

Phishman92

uhh, how exactly does the Hawk's look more factory than a FACTORY spoiler??

Z28 wins in my book, but I agree that it should be accompanied by the 91-92 GFX...I may be a bit biased though...

ssean92

iTrader: (10)

does anyone photoshop? I would like to see what mine would look like with both, tring to decide what one to put on my car. cant seem to find a pic that has a good side profile

nimrod_sixty9

Where is the guy who had a wing on his car? He had a really nice one, painted to match the color of his car (teal). Just for reference he also had the car setup with 2 rectangular headlights rather than the 4 factory square ones. Id realy like to find out where he got his, it realy flowed well with the car. Anyone know who Im talking about? Have pics?

Its not a photoshop BUT its CamaroGuy18s car. He has the same set up. Looks Good. -Matt

Mr.K

I cant find this magazine article i read a long time ago about the IROC in gran turismo but from what i rmember that spoiler was desined originaly to look like the ferrari f40 wing and the vents on the side skirts were also mimicked ferrari touches. Reason being the designer who penned the concept owned an f40 and he liked it so much that he added some styling cues from it to the IROC prototype.

DeathMetalTony

dude honestly, on my personal openion i will go with the hig rise Z28 spoiler, over stock.

DeathMetalTony

dude the camaro was ment to be with the z28 spoiler, keep the RS with the 5inch hawks, my openion i guess.

The 5" cost $299 from Hawks

19CAMARO85

iTrader: (5)

yea the fitment really isnt that bad. Its just as bad as an aftermarket fiberglass hood. Any aftermarket piece that is injection molded will not fit all cars like factory.

19CAMARO85

lol thats cool with me just makes my spoiler more one of a kind

I love the hawks 5in if anyone has one and wants a z28 one ill trade

Bowtiebruiser

I have an 82 Z-28 and I for one love the 5" on the early Third Gen Camaro I will be buying one. But I also agree with the Iroc/Z ground effects flow with the factory wing

cmccully04

hawks 5" FTW, it just looks more aggressive
