So I completed my hatch swap yesterday. Didnt like the crappy wrap around spoiler but I like this one. Plus this one was already tinted and doesnt have those hooks for the spoiler on the glass. Im gonna do a quick paint job on it for now. I still have to get manual doors before I re paint the whole car, which will be matte black with a low gloss clear.
btw, i took out the third brake light, as my GTA wasnt equipped with it inside the hatch, and that is a us army sticker taped inside, being my occupation and all. haha.
I am dong the exact same thing...I do want the high riser but am settling for the low one until/if one comes along. I dont think the side pieces would look right because of the tail light lines...it might but Im not doing it.
Looks good but being a different colour makes it sorta stand out. Im sure when its painted it will look really good. I wish you had a shot from further away. Nice tint...is that legal?
It's not right. The rear end shape is different because of the taillights.

I will try and get a better picture from further away. The rear tint can be as dark as you want I believe. The driver and passenger are "legally" suppose to have no tint. I got a fix it ticket for my camaro for my driver and passenger window tint but not for back. That's why I wont be tinting the sides on this one.

I know.....I've owned both & currently have a 87 GTA....I was asking BECAUSE of the differences. And I agree...It wouldn't look right, because of the taillights.
The pic I posted doesn't look bad though, with the 91/92 Z Hi-Rise.
I agree that the side pieces wouldnt fit on the rear... .But I think you could make some really simple end pieces to sort of finish off the ends of the spoiler. Even if they were just little angled pieces that sloped down to the top of the rear quarter.
Ide like to see some more/clearer shots of it though... I think I like that better than no spoiler at all.
Looks like you did a nice job of lining the new hatch up....that can be fun and exciting. haha.
