Will aero wing fit '83 Trans Am?

Could someone please tell me if the GTA/Trans-Am "aero" wing can be installed directly in place of the stock '83 T/A spoiler? If not, what mods are required? Thanks

here is what is different:
the location of some of the holes in the hatch panel.
the metal strip around the glass is different for attaching the "spears" of the spoiler.

NOTE: 85-90 and 91-92 spoilers are NOT interchangable, the location of the attaching points are different.

Your best bet is to purchase the fiberglass spoiler from GTAuto Acc. They mount there spoiler different than stock around the edge of the window. Thus all you have to do is drill some holes in your hatch panel.

I was quoted 350 each, but I need two, so then the price was 325, BUT if I buy 3 I would get them for $300 each, that of course would not include shipping, which if I pay for shipping can get it for around $100 for all three.

your in Plymouth, Im in Flint, if you would like to do a group purchase...

Basically if you want to go out on your own your looking at $450, but if you want to team up we can settle around $333 for each of them.

they have been primed, and are ready to paint, they come with the mounting hardware, might not include the screws tho, but from what I can remember, the screws are not that uncommon.
