Re: Whats this spoiler called?
the camaro came with its own version, shorter than a z28 spoiler but not a wrap around

Re: Whats this spoiler called?
it would be worth it, most of these cars are only missing a few parts, i cant tell you how many hoods iv popped and found a perfectly good engine sitting in the engine bay, every one in awhile ill find one thats missing an engine but the rest is there, they all have their rims and centers, everything is there. and the yards here are cheap

Re: Whats this spoiler called?
It's referred to as the D80 spoiler and came standard on early third gens. Also, it was available as an option throughout the entire production period of the third gen Firebird.
The later D80s came with integrated third brake lights. Note: The third brake light assembly is identical (and thus interchangeable) on the D80 and the Aero wings.

Re: Whats this spoiler called?
That would be a "junk" spoiler.. yep, thats right.
Honestly though, as others have said, its a firebird spoiler... To each their own.

Re: Whats this spoiler called?
Hey I was just wondering if you can take the spoiler off, or if you have to swap the whole hatch. If they bolt on how can I take it off?
I want to put it on another car, or at least mock it up and see how it would look. I'm pretty sure you have to change the hatch but the cars 2000 miles away so I can't check myself.
You said you bought only the spoiler so maybe it does come off? I know the PO painted my car and he didn't take the spoiler off to paint. Thanks.
EDIT: I have the same spoiler on my TA as the one that was pictured by the OP.

Re: Whats this spoiler called?
That is definitely a base bird spoiler, I have one. It's SMC/fiberglass, a corner broke off mine, it's very dense stuff. I don't like them on birds, but I always though the Z's looked good with wings like that.

Re: Whats this spoiler called?
Its a darn nice spoiler, though I like mine better. 92 rs with the high rise spoiler. I was told this ment my car was a heritage edition but I have no clue. My informant on that was my dad, who's a crazy fourth gener.

Re: Whats this spoiler called?
where is this yard at in Indiana? I live in Northwest Ohio (about 30 min East of Portland) I am needing some parts for my car and nobody in Ohio has anything worth a crap to look at. Any help would be great!

Re: Whats this spoiler called?
The actual pedastles unscrew from the spoiler. The fiero market actually sells taller pedestals to let you raise your stocker to various heights for a more aggressive appearance. Kind of an inter sting idea.
I'm dying to slide the stock spoiler on my fiero back... its just too far fwd. I did the same to my birds stock spoiler.... just that slip backwards helps so much.
i had a spare fiero spoiler I was thinking about using if I ever got a notchback decklid... thought that might be cool with a taller pedestal. Here is a pic I found on a bird... just kinda gets lost on a normal decklid at normal height.
Here is was when we were playing around on a spare decklid...
