Installed my high rise spoiler
I finally installed my high rise spoiler. i just need to weld the holes shut then I will be done. I got a decklid from a 91 Z so that mad the install easier. Taking the old decklid was a pain in the a** though. Gonna get it painted in a couple months, its gonna be black . Got some grid taillights on the way and will probably get the windows tinted and an alarm in the next couple of weeks. Thought I would take some pics since it was actually nice today!

Looks like before you paint, you should buy my set of 85-90 GFX!

it's weird how just adding a 91-92 Z28 highrise spoiler to an 82-84 Z28 makes it look...it looks good...but it still kind of looks "naked" because of the ground effects. The highrise and the 91-92 ground effects work very very well together...it's coming together great! good luck

hey man this may be a wee bit off topic, but i was wondering if u had a better pic of your exhaust from the back. A ground shot would be awsome.

-Remove plastic panel that covers the bottom of the decklid
-Loosen the bolts that secure declid to the glass
-Remove 2 black screws that come of a black metal extension connected to the glass
-Unbolt the bolts that secure the struts. The glass weights a ton too!
-Hard part, removing old decklid. Its now only held on by a type of sealant. I used a long utility blade knife. Take your time and be patient so you dont cut yourself like me
-Once you get that off just clean the glass up and put new sealant on there
-Put new decklid on and align it
-Then just do the first couple of steps in reverse.
-Put your high rise spoiler on then say damn that looks good
It will be different for you if you just use your original decklid. You will just have to fill in all your original holes and drill new ones for the highrise spoiler. If you can weld then you should probably go this way.

Thanks for the good info breakdown
This should make installing mine go smoothly. I like the two person trick, never thought of that.
