Has anyone seen it done...successfully? I am looking for a cheap aero-wing alternative since mine is rotted and nasty.

guys stop yelling at people WHO ARE NEW!!!! to do searches i mean atleast just be nice and explain to them how to search the boards first or simply take half a second to say YES it has been done many times and there are many sites that sell them

check hawksthirdgenparts.com or ramairhood.com or even ebay

Actually I DID do a search before I posted that. My search yielded MANY "How do I repair/paint/replace/find aero-spoiler" posts, but none for 3rd gento 4th gen spoiler swaps. I searched under 4th gen spoiler and got noithing, I searched under spoiler and got the above results. I figure I just wasn't hitting the right key words to bring up what I wanted...so I turned to you guys.

Thanks for the compliment on the GTA...sarcastic I hope. The car was sitting for over a year. I paid for it on Saturday, but could not pick it up until last night. It is a little prettier now that I have washed the 1/4" of sap off of it and beat on the fender and bumper filler panel. I am now looking for a hood, fender, RF ground effect, and other misc pieces.

The car was actually about to be parted out. I decided to save it. If it gets to be too much of a headache I may pull the drivetrain and put it in my Conquest.

I drove it to work and put it on a lift and checked it out...it has LOTS of personality issues:
The heater core dumped a couple of quarts of coolant in the floorboard on the way to work,
The oil pressure sending unit is leaking heavily,
The oil filter housing was loose and leaking pretty good,
The heater blower fan isn't working, the digital controls light up...
The cooling fans work when they want to,
The digital dash has it's quirks, the driver seat track it broken in 2 places,
The steering column is extremely loose, the radio has a short to the RR speaker that can be deafening at times,
The hatch motor will grind and run continouly if plugged up,
The factory CD changer works intermittently,
The front struts are a little weak and the car gets a little floaty at higher speeds,
The antenna is missing,
The interior is rough,
Did I miss anything? The car would make a great parts car, but I would hate to part a GTA.

I had a beautiful 60,000 mile 89 GTA thatwas almost identical to this one, but a friend totalled it for me back in 2000. I have been away from the F bodies for 4 years, so I am new. I appreciate everyone's patience and willingness to help.
