Thin and Thick 5" Spoiler -- PICS PLZ

So I was looking on eBay for these 3 piece 5" spoiler because I like how it livens up the rear end while not looking overboard. But it came to my attention that the 82-86 & 91-92 spoilers were 1" thinner than the 87-89 spoilers.

I'd like to see pics of both so I can figure out which one might look best Thanks in advanced

There were only two manufactures that I know of for the spoilers. One has quit and Hawk's started making it.

This is a 5" spoiler.

yes I am talking about the 3-piece, and i believe they look just like the link posted above . I'm sorry if that's not what the stock spoilers are called... did a search and that's what it looked like

Do you mean the thickness of teh stock spoilers? i believe 87 and those years it sat closer on the car where as 91+ it came farther out off the back of the car. Either way i love my hawks



Not the best picture but like i said i love my hawks spoiler, worth the money i get alot of people asking if its a special edition or anything since the spoilers big. DO a search for my name and i think hawks 5" pics or something and you can find abunch of good pics from the side of mine.

There is a 6 inch spoiler... but it is not finished nor will it ever be in production. This is a one-off piece for myself meant to give it a 70's style ducktail look.






The outside looks rough now.. but every spec of rust has been replaced with new metal and come springtime it will all be finished in PPG sunset red (3-stage candy) just like the engine bay is now:


The holley VS has also been replaced with a BG Mighty Demon.


I am currently looking for ebony or flame red 4th gen TA seats... I will pay up to $1000 for a set if they are somewhere I can drive to to pick them up.
