hey thirdgen owners,

i was thinking of buying a solar wing for the back hatch of my car but i cant seem to find any pics of them on our cars.
If anyone has a pic of them on there 3rd gen please post so i can get an idea if its worth getting or not.
thanks

 

What exactly is a solar wing?

 

i would guess it is a wing with a solar panel on it that you could use to power some accessories or something. they did something like that on pimp my ride one time.

 

It is like this one, it goes on the top of the back window. Not my taste, but...

 

I have one on my '91 Bird, looks great. No pics sorry Bought it from a local speed shop.

 

i happen to really like those.. i have 2 questions tho..
1. where can i get one
2. Will it work on my 86 with the 3rd brakelight on the hatch??

o yea, and post pics if u have on on a T/A

I'm really suprised that the people that don't like them are in the minority so far in this thread. I don't care for the rear window louvres, and this is like a rear window louvre that isn't finished, so it's just that much worse. Don't do it, these cars look great without them.

 

I have one on my Z! And no it won't work on a 86 w/ the third brakelight on the outside! Sorry..............

 

thats because we are keeping our mouths shut

 

sorry to change subjects but I want to remove that 3rd brakelgiht.. if i do, ill be left with 2 holes in my window... is there some sort of plug cause no waaay do i want to get a new hatch/glass..

what is its functionality? - i mean, it doesnt cover the whole thing so how much is really being blocked

 

i dont know what it's used for. Just looks like sh*t imo.

 

it doesnt look that bad but i wouldnt put it on my car probably. for those of you that have it what are they used for?

 

Looks Horrible..... BatMobile looking.. Thats Just my thought.

 

Looks like the car is wearing a hat backwards...

 

it keeps the sun off the tops of the rear seats from what i'm to understand, but it seems that tinting the windows would be a better way to accomplish the no-fade on the rear seats.

 

HA - nobody knows what it does - anyone else find this funny?

 

I loved it when I first saw it but after I installed it on the car I slowly started to hate it. I think this spring it is going to come off.........

 

just looks kinda tacky

 

i know what it does
1. compliments your dice and car bra
2. helps further destroy aero dynamics
3. ruins the good looks of the back of a thirdgen
4. takes attention off of your mull-it



i kid. i would never want one, but if it is your thing thats cool.

 

no no no no no infinity! now I barf

 

JC Whitney carries them, should say enough

 

hahahah alright thanks guys i think i get the point, ill go get my windows tinted instead.

 

Dont do it unless you have a completely black Camaro and some tinted windows.

 

i took my third brake light off today. those holes can be filled with two more of those caps on the side of the hatch. look at tuneport335's pics. he did it, its where i got the idea. so much better now.

 

exactly what caps do u use? any pics of them? o, and if u can snap a pic of the window with the 3rd light off and the caps on.. thatd be swell.. anyway, thanx in advance..

again, check out tuneport335's car. he did it. you know how there are two black circles on each side of the hatch glass at the top corners. there are two of those exact holes in the middle with the same exact spacing.

just look for it, youll know what im talking about.

 

I wonder if u could use the solar wing with a notchback and what it would look like... I think it would be VERY interesting.

 

I had one on z when I sold it ..I liked it ,looking for another one , every where I look they don't have pics. I'm afraid I won't get the right part
