Camaro w/ no spoiler?

I'm gettin' my 'Maro painted soon, and I want to take off the lil' spoiler. Would that look good? Does anyone have a picture of one like that with the 91-92 gfx?
thanx

I have never seen a 91-92 with no wing. I think heritage stipes would make the wing delete look even better and less plain.

im not a fan of it but i dont hate it. Maybe because the rest of the car, nice paint and nice rims draw more attention off the lack of the spoiler, but it seems that its missing something it really needs back there.

Here's a couple pictures of my california IROC. I'm really impartial about the no-spoiler look, but anything that makes my car more unique is cool. I was at a stoplight the other day and I saw a guy in an RS behind me in my rearview mirror trying real hard to figure out what exactly my car was. Hehe. It all comes down to your personal preference. Enjoy!

personally I dont really like the look of no wing at all. If you look at the rear of the camaro...its very VERY small. The hatch lid slopes downwards. The rear bumper goes upwards and is small. w/o the rear wing (atleast the stock 3 peice) the rear end looks midget. Compared to the huge front and side.

That yellow one looks fantastic. I think the no wing look can be pulled off if the car has gf and nice paint and rims.

I like the look, it makes the car look smoother, I'm takin off the door handles too. But its just gonna be temporary. Ive got a wing designed that is gonna be finished prolly next summer when I can get a lil more dough. It looks better than in that picture, I did that quick... but its kinda suppost to be a cross between the Z28 high rise spoiler and the Subaru WRX wing.

in my opinion, it looks like a berlinetta, cause thats basically a camaro without a spoiler...sometimes it looks good, but you gotta have the right car to do it...

but then it would look like every other 91-92 Z. if you do it right, the no spoiler look is really clean, i have often tossed the idea around myself. i would really love to see one with some nice 17" rims like a set of snypers, and no spoiler.

Ehh, I say only if it's a CA IROC, it looks ok, but not great enough to merit taking or leaving one off if you have it

I think its very hard to pull off the no wing look, mainly because the decklid is so thin. I would just leave the 3 piece on there. Lol, the 3 peice to me looks pretty close to having no wing anyways.

in my opinion, the no-spoiler look makes me automatically think about the early 80s berlinettas, and no offense to anyone here, but i think they were some of the ugliest thirdgens to roll out of the GM plant.

personally i think the 3 piece is perfect. it isnt as radical as the hi-rise and it matches well with the GFX and taillights. (the angles are the same)

however i have seen the new 5'' spoilers from hawks, and i think those really add some agressiveness to the car....

just my $.02
