IMO not good. Look at the type of car it's on too It would just look out of place with the lines that the 3rd gens have.

Terrible. There's a 90-93 Mustang running around town with that wing on it and a twin turbo hood. I just laughed when I saw it..
But its your car, do what you will and be prepared to take **** for it.

Well, I guess I don't have much to say that you haven't heard already. Unless you like the "I just got rearended by a hang glider" look, I'd say to forget about the spoiler and try to remember why you bought a Camaro in the first place.

Don't let them give you to much ****. I just delt with these same a$$holes on the apperance board about the same wing. I decided NOT to get it due to the fact its only 53" long and will not fit right on the back of the 3rd gen camaros. The hatch area its self is 53" then with the fenders its like 56" so the wing would not look right, needs to be at lest 58" IMO.

I found many other wing though. If you want to see them e-mail me and I will send you the addys for them. I refuse to post about wings again on this site due to the ignorant people that reply.

Sorry man I have to agree with these guys. Im sure that wing is pretty costly, why not spend that money making your car run faster? Instead of losing all that money when one of these guys rips it off and throws it in the dumpster.

Later,

Some *****-dude at my school said it adds like 15 hp. The only good use for this wing would be on ***** day (April 1st). Where all the Camaros, 'stangs, Novas and other muscle cars buy Jap stickers and put 'em all over there cars and duck tape folger's cans to their tips!

Well at least you diden't buy it yet, right?!

Usually the Cops do not care about what is behind you, look at SEMI's they cant see out their rear window. Panel Vans sometimes cant see out their rear window either.

That is why the rear windows of our cars can be virtually black, because you can use the mirrors, and I usually don't try to drive my car backwards at 60mph.

Holy mother of all the fairies in America, what is wrong with the 91-92 Z28's wing? And if you dont like that wing why not get one of the "real" IROC wings for the third gen. Either wing should forfill even the most voracious of wing appetites. Just a thought.

First of all, I would like to say that I hate hearing everyone get so high and mighty about WHY it is so terrible to put that wing on. Personally, I think it looks absolutely ri-****-ulous, and worthless at everything except creating more drag. I personally like the spoiler delete option myself. None the less, when we bicker amongst ourselves, the ricers are the only winners. If you want your car to look like a *****, I'd say buy a *****...if you love thirdgens and happen to think that wing is cool (?) then hey, it's your car...and you're one of us, so I stand by you even though I don't like it!

Ok everyone on flame me too, but I agree w/ abubaca, its your car if you like it, get it. I dont think that exact spoiler would look good on a thirdgen, but some larger spoilers I think would look all right. and if you like it, go for it.
