does anyone know if the tall 3pc spoilers from the 70-73 camaro's and firebirds would fit on our cars. I love the look of those tall spoilers, and they look better, IMO, than the new 5in 3rd gen spoiler and they would be a little more affordable from a junkyard for example. Anyone know the dimensions of the rears of the early 2nd gens as compared to the third gens, or, i hate to ask, maybe someone could play around with photoshop, since i don't have it.

 

no they won't, some company makes fiberglass ones for our cars so you might was to search.


Personally i think there hideous.

 

hawks makes a 6" spoiler which is very similar

 

nope they dont even come close to fitting


as said above check around i do believe hawks has somethink like you are wanting

i myself dont care for them but hey what ever you like its your car....

 

hawksthirdgenparts.com has a 5" it is a direct replacement only taller, i have one and am super happy with it find my post pics of paint and ghost stuff, i gotta post some new pics today so i'll be sure to put one here, just search for my name and you'll find pics of it, personally i think chevy shoul dhave put teh huge one on there stock.

Infact i'll even set teh stocker up there to show you the difference




TEh angles are totally wron on the second gen, because the decklids are way different, i tried this when i had my bird a few years ago, ended up gettign pisssed and gave up.

 

my thoughts exactly...

 

here ya go duke as promised

last with the stock one next to it, the stocker goes back more than up teh hawks goes up and back, looks awesome and goes perfect with the 4" cowl hood i have, Perfect example of my ghost stripes too, on that last one you cant see the stripe that runs up and down the spoiler and down the back end

 

pic would help


Yes i know the hatch spoiler doesnt line up with the end pieces i still need to try to get teh hatch to slide up towards the front more

 

thanks a lot irocbirdbuilder, i definitely like the look of the taller spoiler better. maybe i will drop the money on the taller spoiler when i start fixing up the outside of the car.

 

yeah that actually looks pretty good on there .....

 

Actually I askded this along time ago and someone pm'd me and said they and few others have done it with a little fab work.

 

hey this is alittle off topic but irocbirdbuilder has your spoiler cracked at all like down the lenght of the middle piece? mine has a crack goin right from one end to the other and im not sure why or how.

 

Lol i was actually going to ask about that soon, mine had a small hairline crack at the top and on one of the end pieces, when i painted it i had just used duplicolor and apparnelty it hadnt sealed it at all so when i took it off for the painter it was half full with freakin water along with the end one, looks like they jsut didnt get it together great at the seam or something, sanded it down and did a little fiberglass work and it is good and sealed now, i actually took it off tonight after about a week of raining and is is bone dry inside, did drill a small drainhole at each end though to drain it. I',m gonna call hawks one of these days and give him a little heads up about it so they can correct it.
