Which wing do u think i should put on my car?
The factory formula wing or the Z28 hi rise wing. Right now i have the aero wing but i need to replace it. I have a brand new Z28 wing in my garage. Just trying to decide. Heres a current pic with the aero wing. I will be doing something with the wing in the month or so.

Aero wing. If you are looking for something a little different, get the 91/92 firebird aero wing. It looks killer!

I have the 91-92 aero wingon my Formula. I'd post a pic but they are way too large. I can email it if you like. Either stay with the style you have or go with the aero, just say no to the high rise.

I use to want to be different and go with something that wasn't oem, but I like the aerowing 85-90 style, I just cant swing the $400 fiberglass one nor put on heavy rubber one. So I say go with aero wing if can afford it.

Aero looks better on the 'bird in my opinion... The hi-rise just screams Camaro...

What's wrong with your current aero? Is it torn up?

My spoiler is not to bad it has a couple of cracks on the back corners and it needs to be sanded some i could fix it pretty easily. As for checking out different spoilers there were 2 things that bothered me about my stock one. One from what i have been told the stock rubber spoiler is fairly heavy. Two i saw a couple of thirdgen firebirds that the spoiler just didtn look right when it was all painted maybe it was because they had no visual mods done. The factory wing is starting to grow on me with my car. I looked at the 4th gen spoilers and to me they look really good at every angle except from directly behind the car. I liked the look of the mecham spoiler nolan t/a has its like a wild version of the aero wing. I think i might try to fix the stock one up and see how i like it fixed up and painted. The paint has been chipped on the stock one every since i bought the car so i havent really gotten a feel for it painted to match the car. But i appreciate all the replies.
hey hows it going, im new to the site, well kinda. got registered awhile ago, just didnt post anything.
nice car man, looks great! for spoilers id go with the factory areo wing, or the 4th gen wing.
also i noticed u have an 87. what rear end do u have? obviously not a borq warner 9 bolt since u have 3.73's.

hey i took my stock 3 piece spoiler off and junked it, i bought a aftermarket high rise from jcwhitney and it looks like crap! (The sides are about 4 inches from touching the body, way too high up) So if you want to sell your real Z28 High Rise, LET ME KNOW!

aerowing looks best. 2nd pic would be the 4thgen spoiler...stay away from the z28 spoiler though - I've never seen a bird I liked it on.

1St design aero... but try to get the 'glas replacement if you can afford. IMO the 1st design looks tons better, but construction is well... crap.
