New spoiler

Hey everyone, I got a spoiler for my car, heres the story. My dad has a 67 corvette and was at a swap meet and found a $400 spoiler for a 1980-82 corvette for $40. It somewhat resembles a Z28 spoiler. Its fiberglass and will take a little modifications to fit, but it think it will look good. Some pictures are attached. I think it will give my car a unique custom look to it.

Interesting, and I thought I had seen them all. Not sure how it would look on a Camaro. I guess it would look ok.

the outer edges wont hang over like that though, it is going to rest like a normal Z28 spoiler. Even if i dont like it later, it only cost $40 so i dont care.

Well it almost fits right with the body line of my car but may need to be lengthend a little. And the corners on the outer edges need to be angled in a bit. Plus i kinda like the little lip it has on the back, its different.

That will look pretty nice if you can get it to fit.

i think it will look really good. i've been looking for something like that, but it's kinda hard to look for a spoiler when you have no idea what kind of car it comes on.

I've seen it done on a black Iroc-z locally, it's not to my liking...but it's not tacky.
