What kind of fin is this?

Someone gave me this fin and said it was for a camaro, but when I tried to put it on the bolt holes didn't line up and it is about 1/2 inch shy on either side of covering the hatch. I think it may be off a 88 from what I've read here. Any ideas ?

Is it worth anything? I'm gonna go with a Z28 hi-rise, because I really don't like the way this one looks. Kinda leaves too much space open on the rear. Thanks for the help, though.

Sell it on the classified boards here or on eBay. Someone will want it, especially since it is only a one year item.

I say sell it to Zepher to put on his bird. It won't stick out as much as a Z high rise but will look pretty stock and still look good.

Man that is one comfy looking chair!!!

I liked those spoilers the first time I saw one but I don't really care for them any more.

Had the same one on my Sport Coupe... After I smashed the car up and wanted to take off the spoiler, they said, go ahead, its only worth 60 bucks...

I have that. Its the only wing on a 3G car that I actually dislike, go figure its the one that came on the car I ended up with. It looks good from a couple angles but I don't like how it makes the lines of the car look from the back at all, and its a little too small. When budget permits I'm jumping on the 91-92 Z wing bandwagon since that won't require as much drilling and I really like the way it looks from the sides.

Here's a picture from this summer right after I gotthe cat back put on but before the rear blackouts (which really cleaned up the lines of the car quite a bit from the back). My apologies to 56Kers!
