NOPE. It looks like ****. Don't take that as me just saying it looks bad because it's a F & F style. I actually bought almost that exact same spoiler about 5 years back and was very disappointed in it's looks wit my 82. The cars roof line is just too raked and low looking for such a square (from the side) profile back there. I think that is why the 91-92 Areo Wing, and to a lesser extent, the 85-90 T/A-GTA wing look so good on the cars. They are long and low to match the overall profile of the car in general. The problem is, you can't tell how it really looks until you set it on there, and you really can't do that without buying the damn thing. I photoshopped it onto my car before hand and really liked it, but in person...FUGLY.

KAWASAKIWASOBI That's Priceless!! As for the wing...... A good way to make a third gen look bad. That's only what I think, But It's your car, do what you want. Customization is cool!!!

Seriously, if you want it to look good for others, use the spoilers used by camaros through out the years, 5" and the high rise. Otherwise, its about what you think and IMO, if you threw that sorry excuse for a spoiler on your thirdgen, it would look out of place.

That wing would look awesome and ad a lot of performance, but you need to complete the look:
dented body parts of all different colors
A couple of large Cambell soup cans for exhaust exits
Stock steel wheels, painted black, no hub caps.
A giant windshield banner of some sort
Red tinted windows
A giant boom box that rattles everyones' windows
and don't forget to remove the springs in the suspension, so the car rides on the bumpers.
...you will then be cool, and all the 13 year olds will be impressed.

I'd rock it. I have odd taste but it'd only look good if it were mounted directly to the deck without those pedastals. From the side it'd look exactly like the 91-92 Z wing. You guys seem to be stuck on the F&F r*cer thing.

Seriously though, That spoiler would only bring on shame, humiliation, and a few verbal beatings. Unless you hang out with the r icers. Then you would be "The envy of your crowd".

its not about the r1cer thing, that's just muscle car enthusiast insecurity coming from the perceived insult that these cars can even compete on the same level as their cars. which is for the most part correct just immature. but i digress, everyone has an opinion and you should do what you like dont make your desicion soley based on others think. IMO though still gotta recommend against it.

A friend of mine has a similar wing on his 97 Mustang... the funniest thing I heard is when some guy told him the wing made his car look either like a biplane, or a laundry hanger... LOL

i think it looks fine. where is the ****? **** isnt a body part, its a personality.
BTW it looks better than the 91-92 highrise, the stock 3 piece AND the hawks 5 inch Iroc wing. atleast this one is original and not something that comes stock on a car.
i really dont see the point in modding something with stock parts? and we wonder why there isnt an aftermarket for our cars.

lol i hope your kidding.... for your personality sake. there isn't an aftermarket because of a few reasons and many of them being taste. to many idiots putting rediculous pieces on cars or just plain not taking care of them in general. putting something like this on your thirdgen camaro which doesn't fit the body lines is just asking for hassles by some punk kid looking to cause trouble.
now if you incorporated it into a custom one-off body kit that helped the design flow well then it might be ok and would definately change the above statement.
if you like it, do it as it's your car.... many will agree though that it doesn't fit the lines of the car thereby making it a laughing piece of interest more then anything.

I agree completely. I think the BIG reason there is not a lot of aftermarket for our cars is that they looked so good from factory. (SOME) It is hard to improve on them. Nobody tries, because "we" have a set opinion on what belongs on our cars.
That's just my
