Where did you get yours? I know Hawks has them....is that the only place?
If you have one, how was the install/fit?
Pics are awesome...just sayin!!

Re: 5" rear spoiler
I bought 2 from hawks. One was crooked and warped. Got a replacement but had to pay overseas shipping
One other I used. Took a lot of reworking to get it to fit nice. Many hours of epoxy and glass work.
The 3rd one I sold. Was fed up with the other one and didnt want to go through it all again

Re: 5" rear spoiler
There are a number of routs to go for the duckbill style spoiler. The research I did on the Hawk's found that hawk's spoiler always needed work done to it and is never shipped ready for paint. There is a dura flex copy of it that may or may not have been made from a mold of the Hawk's spoiler and seems to suffer from the same issues only it's not fiberglass so it's much more difficult to fix perfect. If you like fiberglass work, I think using a second gen spoiler as another user did is the best way to go. There is also a current member on here that makes bolt on aluminum plate that bolts o to the stock spoiler to mimic the duck bill spoiler but in a racing sort of contextual style. Another member made one from scratch and it looks really good, I started down that path but I had far too many other projects that kept me from really trying it.

Re: 5" rear spoiler
Are you discussing the one that resembles the '72-'81 version? I've been looking for one of those every time I go to the automotive salvage yards, never found a used 3rd gen version. Got a used 3.5" one off a '89 T/A, no clue who made it, but it isn't GM, tried it on my '86 Camaro, still have it laying in my shed.
