I found this spoiler at a junkyard on a firebird for $30 so i went ahead and grabbed it, whats it called, also are there any other camaro owners with this spoiler?

 

i think its just a lo-rise spoiler that came stock on the firebirds...ive seen a few, not on a camaro though

 

There's a lot of people who put them on Camaro's. I think it's ugly, but each to his own.

 

the camaro came with its own version, shorter than a z28 spoiler but not a wrap around

 

Never seen a Camaro other than the 91-92 Z28s with anything like it. There's a lot of people here in Florida taking the Firebird wings and putting them on Camaros.

 

i found some on the camaros but most were damaged or had the third brake light and i dont need the brake light since i have an 86... so i got this since its in great shape

 

yeah, its just a base model firebird spoiler

 

i like that spoiler better than the camaro version, it never looked right to me

 

really they both look the same, the camaro spoilers only have 4 stands insted of two like this one.

 

they actually look pretty different...cant find the picture i was looking for. the firebird spoiler to me is a lot closer to the look of a fiero spoiler

 

yeah, it looks good lol

 

im wondering why we have such crappy junkyards here and you seem to find good ones

theres never anything left on cars at ours, the scrap them and sell all the parts elsewhere

 

i go to two yards that have well over 30 thirdgens a peice and most are intact.

 

i need to come up there lol

 

it would be worth it, most of these cars are only missing a few parts, i cant tell you how many hoods iv popped and found a perfectly good engine sitting in the engine bay, every one in awhile ill find one thats missing an engine but the rest is there, they all have their rims and centers, everything is there. and the yards here are cheap

 

It's referred to as the D80 spoiler and came standard on early third gens. Also, it was available as an option throughout the entire production period of the third gen Firebird.

The later D80s came with integrated third brake lights. Note: The third brake light assembly is identical (and thus interchangeable) on the D80 and the Aero wings.

 

well i got the spoiler mounted today, and i must say it looks good, here are some pictures

 

 

also someone told me this spoiler wasnt fiberglass, that it was metal? can anyone tell me if GM made metal spoilers?

 

you should be able to tell if its metal....

its a molded plastic of some kind

 

idk, its got alot of weight to it, oh well

 

i have this spoiler on my 92 base firebird...i like it

 

me too

 

That would be a "junk" spoiler.. yep, thats right.


Honestly though, as others have said, its a firebird spoiler... To each their own.

 

you mind rephrasing that top sentence bud?

 

The low-rise spoiler for the Camaro was only available on the '88 SC.

 

Hey I was just wondering if you can take the spoiler off, or if you have to swap the whole hatch. If they bolt on how can I take it off?

I want to put it on another car, or at least mock it up and see how it would look. I'm pretty sure you have to change the hatch but the cars 2000 miles away so I can't check myself.

You said you bought only the spoiler so maybe it does come off? I know the PO painted my car and he didn't take the spoiler off to paint. Thanks.
EDIT: I have the same spoiler on my TA as the one that was pictured by the OP.

 

The spoiler bolts to the hatch, however be careful as the studs pull out of the spoiler.

 

i like the lo-rise camaro spoiler, to bad it only came on a select year....

 

That is definitely a base bird spoiler, I have one. It's SMC/fiberglass, a corner broke off mine, it's very dense stuff. I don't like them on birds, but I always though the Z's looked good with wings like that.

 

the junkyard i go to have a few of them but they all have the thirdbrake light and i didnt want it...

 

the spoiler comes off the hatch. there are 4 10mm? bolts that hold it on, two are behind two little black circles that you can see right outside the hatch rear trim, and the other two are under that rear trim panel.

 

Its a darn nice spoiler, though I like mine better. 92 rs with the high rise spoiler. I was told this ment my car was a heritage edition but I have no clue. My informant on that was my dad, who's a crazy fourth gener.

 

The high rise has nothing to do with it being a Heritage Edition. The RS's got the typical low spoiler and the Z28s got the High Rise. The Heritage Edition was basically stripes and a color matched grill.

 

where is this yard at in Indiana? I live in Northwest Ohio (about 30 min East of Portland) I am needing some parts for my car and nobody in Ohio has anything worth a crap to look at. Any help would be great!

 

yep its a stock spoiler... I've had tons of them!


In height and width (side to side)...yes... but the fiero spoiler is much longer front to back.






The actual pedastles unscrew from the spoiler. The fiero market actually sells taller pedestals to let you raise your stocker to various heights for a more aggressive appearance. Kind of an inter sting idea.



I'm dying to slide the stock spoiler on my fiero back... its just too far fwd. I did the same to my birds stock spoiler.... just that slip backwards helps so much.

i had a spare fiero spoiler I was thinking about using if I ever got a notchback decklid... thought that might be cool with a taller pedestal. Here is a pic I found on a bird... just kinda gets lost on a normal decklid at normal height.



Here is was when we were playing around on a spare decklid...

 

This one? The lower one...
I think it was only produced for half a year in 88?





Guess this pic is a good comparason of the 2... LOL! Sorry only pics i could find in may collection of "borrowed pics" LOL!

 

wow... thats pretty hideous .. IMO.... different but I cant say id want one lol

 

The fiero ones I know were plastic... had a cracked one on my fiero when I got it. As was the 88 half year spoiler for the camaro in my earlier pic.

I have had a quite a few of the stock bird spoilers and they were a not plastic... they were a white glass type material... like fiberglass. all 6 or so I have had both with and w/o lights have been this material... its white and powdery like plaster

 

Only half year spoiler pic I could find... too bad it had the stocker on top... Well when you only have a few at lunch to find a pic... LOL

Hey... did the bolt pattern match up on the low rise and high rise???

 

hey i have a camaro with a 3rd brake light in the spoiler. do you happed to have any of the lo-rise spoilers with third brake light left?
