Re: cool or not? cant decide

It's not something I would get for my car, but it is definitely one of the more tasteful mods for a third gen.

Re: cool or not? cant decide

I've got that spoiler. Looks really good, just know that up close fittment isn't the greatest. Expected better quality for a $300 part, but I stuck with it 'cuase I love the aggressive look it gives!!

Re: cool or not? cant decide

I've always thought the shortcoming of these cars' styling was the big, flat '70s sedan-esque trunk. More so on the Camaros than on the Firebirds. A larger spoiler breaks up the lines but most large spoilers have that Wal-Mart-Formula-1-wing-attached-with-duct-tape look, so yeah, I think these types that maintain the stock look but with larger dimensions are a blessing.

Re: cool or not? cant decide

I think stylistically, it balances the spoiler at the front of the car...

I kinda like it. It adds distinction without going over the top.

Re: cool or not? cant decide

It's a really good piece if you're running an SS hood, cowl hood, RA hood, etc, and want to balance out the rear end.

Re: cool or not? cant decide

I think your right shaneP, some pics look really good, and the ones of the white car look a bit over the top.

Re: cool or not? cant decide

I really like it becasue I think it gives it even more of a race car look. I would get it but I'm sticking with that stock look.

Looks good from the side, not so much directly from the back, which is where most people will see it...and that's not even considering it lacks the third brake light.

The factory '87-'90 third brake light spoiler is perfection, IMO.

Re: cool or not? cant decide

I bought it for my 86 IROC-Z i used to have. BADASS. LOVED IT VERY MUCH! Fit really well. Just trimmed the end pieces off even with the lights and done.

Re: cool or not? cant decide

Very cool! But that is a little pricy for replacing my perfectly cool stock spoiler.

I think it looks awful. Just kidding. I love the look it gives to mine. Also, mine is lined up perfect, looks great from the back.
