My favorite is the 91-92 aero spoiler.

I've never really liked the 4th gen wing.

When you wash your car with the 4th gen spoiler, it is a lot easier to get underneath of the spoiler.

I think it is a huge upgrade over my old 86 spoiler. I think it makes my car look mean.

off topic, zepher, do you have a page about the impala tail light conversion? I dunno if I like it or not, but I imagine it took alot of work to make it look so factory and I'm interested in how it was done.

I'm going to say that conversion take about 15 mins worth of slaving away.

I think the thread starter, crazyL, is asking whether to keep his 85 T/A spoiler or get a 4th gen wing. Why are you guys commenting about other spoilers?

Note that I compared the two spoilers in one pic.

I would vote on a thirdgen aero spoiler. To me, they fit the line of the car better. Also if you can, find the 91-92 aero because it is glass instead of the notorius rubber.
