91-92 wraparound spoiler

I was making a boneyard run for a part for my vette when i came across a '91 formula while i was looking for a donor vette. It still had the newer fiberglass wrap-around spoiler on it (fine condition) and i was thinking of going ahead and replacing the stock rubber POS on my firebird. The flat rate for spoilers at the yard is $30. I've already replaced it once with one off a TA (a boneyard part) about a year and a half ago. I know the newer ones are better-looking, lighter, and don't warp but i was wondering whether they would still work on my hatch. I know the third-brake light is mounted in a different spot with the '91-'92 birds, but assuming i can fix that will they're be anyother problems?

It should be fine as long as you don't want to drive 200mph... the only bad thing about the 91-92 aero spoiler is that it adds lift at high speeds.
