What the heck is the world coming to? I hope i dont affend anyone if they currently run one of these quality pieces, i mean the benefits of this thing are in the description and they sound great, but i would rather have an iroc high rise. Speaking of which, is 250+ about the general selling price for the iroc high rise? I cant seem to find any of them cheaper then that. Im looking for something different, other then the stock small piece on my z.

in all honesty, i think if it was painted to match the car and didnt have those 8 inch stachions, it wouldnt look toooo terrible. but as it is in that pic i have to say that is about the fugliest thing i have seen in quite awhile.

peace,

Hey we cant even get thos blue washer lights cause we dont got them, are cars are more high tech and use the washer fluid from teh wipers. And if that wing was painted properly, had diffremt mountings, and those little holes on the side were filler it wouldn't be that bad. Thats just my opinion, please no flamming.

Too tall for any f-body. If you had a drag car then get a drag "aluminum spoiler", if you've got an autocross setup, don't use a spoiler, if you've got a daily driver, get something that looks tastful and not necissarily functional.
Those holes in the side are for adjustments in the angle of the fins. The more I look at that the more I wish a fellow thirdgen member wouldn't think about installing one, just my opinion.

I think that thing is ***-awful but unfortuneately that is why my friend with the 84 z28 has been looking for. He wants it and then paint it chrome.

I seen one similar to that on a 4th Gen Firebird, I just laughed as the guy passed me, I wish he would have looked over. When I see that crap on 3rd Gens I laugh to, I just hope one day it's not one of you guys and then you come back on here, saying this ***** laughed at me. Of course you guys have more sense than that.

I think they're about 125-150 from Jegs, but I might be wrong. Also check unlimited products and see if they have one.

Only 1 day left until the end of this auction guys. I think i might order this wing and a smaller version of it to put on my roof. It'll go good with my IROC-R stickers.


hehe..of course not! wing would look good on a funny car though.

if i ever saw that on an F-body, i would rip it off with my bare hands and smash it

destrcution of personal property may be a crime, but turning a muscle car into rice is greater crime, and besides and i can be a little nutty at times...............hehee

I personally liked the name of the winner: red_neckfootball This is probably some backwoods kid that thinks he will be the first on his block to go rice. Probably just saw Fast and the Furious and thinks that if he adds nitrous to his Geo it will put out over 400 hp! Lets see, a 73 horse engine and a 150 horse shot, yep, 400 hp!

LMAO at the spoiler!
