Camaro High Rise Spoiler on 88 Trans am

I just scored a 91/92 Camaro high rise spoiler for $25 from a guy who had no idea what it was, i was wondering if it is an easy install and if it looks good, i love them on the camaros but my GTA spoiler in turning to crap so i thought i would give the high rise spoiler a try, thanks

Re: Camaro High Rise Spoiler on 88 Trans am

One of the other members on here has it on his firebird. I can't recall his name but I think it's the guy who had a big block ford and then went to a supercharged LS, kind of a greyish-silver exterior.

EDIT: It was CustomBlackBird

Been done lotsa times. It's not a high rise Camaro spoiler. It's a 1969 Trans Am spoiler.

i do like the high rise, but i am on a budget, i would only keep it for a year or 2 until i have enough money. my spoiler now is in really bad shape and it kills the look of my car

Re: Camaro High Rise Spoiler on 88 Trans am

I do like the look...however....if the rest of the car is basically stock appearing, then to me it looks like you picked one up cheap and threw it on there (which you did, lol). ....if the car has been modded, and has some customer appearance mods here and there.....then I think it looks cool and fits right it just fine.

Re: Camaro High Rise Spoiler on 88 Trans am



the car is stock but i would get the high rise painted red, the car is also getting lowered, so it should give it a more aggressive look

Re: Camaro High Rise Spoiler on 88 Trans am

That's a good looking car - the high rise might look cool, but for me, I would just make do until I could get the correct spoiler.

That car looks good!!!

That sir is a DA%N good looking car! I would also have to agree on holding out for the correct spoiler.

I'd agree with the above. Sell the Z spoiler, apply the cash to the pile you're accumulating by "donating" plasma and recycling aluminum cans, etc and you'll have enough saved up for a fiberglass repro in no time flat.
