1990 spoiler challenge

alright ive got a 1990 formula but the spoiler is junk! i love duck tail spoiler or something real slick to level the car out because the hatch degree is angled. but i just cant find anything, please help!

Re: 1990 spoiler challenge

That's my fav spoiler, have one on my 84.
Question, you wouldn't happen to know where someone could get the gaskets for it do you? I just had the car repainted, and we could not find any type of replacement gasket that would work. So for now we had to use the original ones, and they look bad.

If you have any ideas please let me know!

Ya I'm going to have to do the same I guess. I was hoping I could get the original style though.

Sucks this spoiler was only a half year option, not sure why it was so disliked. I've always loved this spoiler.

Re: 1990 spoiler challenge

agreed. seen it a couple times in person, thought it had all the nice shape of the hi rise without the, um, high rise? haha

i'm looking forward to my little mutt coming together in the spring - 87 TA, 88 camaro spoiler, 91 camaro side skirts. big fan of subtle changes, especially when it with otherwise "stock" parts

84 Camaro, 88 spoiler, 92 GFX and Dash, soon to have 4th Gen seats if I can find them. It's a Frankenstein car.
