I like how it looks without a spoiler. The california IROC came with a standard Camaro hood and no spoiler, but still had the IROC ground effects. I love how it looks.

I think Camaros look ok without a spoiler, but firebirds look like a** without them.

I am personally a fan of the spoilers on both the camaro & the Firebird. It seems to complete the car for me. Looks like its missing someting without it. Or it looks like a base model.

just my opinion.

you guys will probably smack me for this, but i think that the early t/a spoilers (82-84) look good on a camaro.

I deleted mine only because I replaced the rear hatch panel and filled in the holes (they didn't line up right) and haven't redrilled for my 88 SC wing...
looks alright. . . (my car looks like **** though)

I have a spoiler from a Camaro if anyone wants it free + shipping. I got it when I replaced the hatch on my Firebird, the yard only had Camaro hatches, so I switched spoilers.

I think they look so naked or empty without the spoiler, but then again I cant stand when a camaro doesnt have ground effects, they look so naked or empty without them both
