Re: my project camaro..

I would have chosen the stock spoiler, but it is a great improvement over the one that came on it. Looks good.

Re: my project camaro..

i hope you didn't pay much for that thing. When's it getting shot with some paint? Also I really don't like the look of those louvers, but to each his own. Happy to see the car go in a positive direction at least.

Re: my project camaro..

HAHA, i paid 1500 for it, its got a rebuilt 350 with goodies. a rebuilt trans and posi it was a fellow firemans car..it came with 2 other hatches and i had the front bumper and fenders all ready.. i think it looks alot better IMO. Ive got another hatch ill put on if i can find a 91-92 spoiler thats not over priced
The deal with the old "space ship" spoiler was the kid who put it on lived in an area of all ricers and he said it was to mock em :-? duno but its long gone and its goin in the rite direction now..

Re: my project camaro..

well, I'm very happy to see that your saving this third gen from rice or the scrap! The only things I dont like is the louvers and the spoiler. In my opinion, the nicest spoiler is the typical little wing on most camaros.
