Re: Anybody have this spoiler on their camaro?

Looks kinda cool - like the 'Bird wrap around except with harder corners/lines that match the Camaro lines.

The more I look at it the more I'm liking it, I was looking at the aero spoiler for my car but this one looks better.

Re: Anybody have this spoiler on their camaro?

I like that spoiler. And it does work well with the Camaro lines, like it could be OEM.

It looks like the spoiler from the '88 sport coupe. I like it!

Is this the same one you're talking about? It's on my '88.

Re: Anybody have this spoiler on their camaro?

It's extremely similar, but not exactly the same. You have the '88 sport coupe spoiler, which in it's own light is a 1 year spoiler.

Re: Anybody have this spoiler on their camaro?

i'm a big fan of that 88 spoiler; if i can spot one for the right price, i'm jumping on it. i think it would look pretty nice on a TA

Re: Anybody have this spoiler on their camaro?

Here's the "88" on my "89" Iroc. Looks allot like the one your asking about except mine has the third break light. Its obvious I'm a fan of this style. I say go for it.

Dan, I'm pretty sure I have that spoiler sitting out in the garage. If it is indeed the same one, its in fairly decent shape, just needs prep work and paint if i remember correctly. No chips that i can recall. If you'd like I can take pics.

Sorry to threadjack.

Re: Anybody have this spoiler on their camaro?

I don't really like the 88 spoiler lookes to me like a srunken version of the 90,s wing but I'm not saying I hate it either



but about the OPs Spoiler I like it but I can't see having a camaro spoiler that doesn't caress the taillights

Sorry to threadjack two, lol I also have one in my garage . but you'll probably want to PM MikeSmith as hes closer to you, and its only fair as he posted first but mine might be cheaper LOL

but if anyone else needs one PM me as I am in Colorado

Re: Anybody have this spoiler on their camaro?

I have a couple of the '88 spoilers as well. The inside mounts tend to dry rot over the years and often break when you try to remove them. They're made of hollow plastic and are lightweight unlike some of the other ones.

Re: Anybody have this spoiler on their camaro?

This gives a better look at the spoiler with the entire car. When I found that hatch with that spoiler on it It just seemed right for what I was looking for . Seemed to flow nicely with the 2 in cowl. Any way needed to make a decision quickly because prep. and paint were just around the corner. I think I did OK.

Re: Anybody have this spoiler on their camaro?

The SC spoiler looks 100x better then the high rise. I've only seen one in person (bought it too, out of my local j-yard). I gave it to my brother Pew (on here) for his '90.

Wow that looks pretty sweet if I were to get one like this would the holes from the other spoiler have to be welded shut or could they be filled in with a filler?

The web site is interesting. I'm surprised that no one even bothered to notice that they sell carbon fiber hoods for our cars (cowl induction of course)
