Topic says it all...

Excuse the dirty car...

The wrap around came with the hatch glass (i borke the new one when putting the '88 Shorty back on, other one broke before that from heat...)

the wing is in terrible shape, but gives a good imprssion of what one would look like...

I REALLY LIKE IT! Thought I'll share...

 

another...

 

yet again...

 

this camera sucks, i know, it was free whatcha expect ???

 

i removed a big old 1 foot by 3 foot decal that said "Xtreme Audio, Your Car Audio Source" but have yet to remove the "Marine Corps" sticker...

 

aww, wtf is that on my tail-light!!!!!!!!!!!

heres some damage...

 

last one...

What do you think ????

I wouldn't keep this spoiler, unless I could "permantly" fix it... but I quess it could stay until I could get a fiberglass one from Dirk...

 

Actually... it took some getting used to.... but that actually might not be too bad (having a wraparound on a Camaro).

 

opps forgot the pic...

 

Is it heavier than your other hatches?

 

Glad to see that I am not the only one who has done this. Here is a picture of mine....

 

And another....


On a side note, yeppirs, this hatch is -much- heavier than the old one that was on my car. When I used to use the remote release I would have to make sure no one was near the hatch so I did not crack them in the head when the hatch popped! It used to open the hatch all the way up when I hit the release, now with this one it just pops and you have to pull it up.

 

you aint jokin about how "heavy" it is. I used to be able to lift my other hatch up no prob when installing the lift supports, i wasn't ready to lift that much weight!

Same here about the remote hatch release, it will unlock it, but it won't pop up any more. No problem for me, cuase i never liked how dast it went up sometimes...

 

its not bad, but definately not my thing.

 

I like it a lot! Reminds me of that yellow GTZ Iroc they did in 88.... sweet.

 

my car may be blue, and that may be orange and beat up, but it will stay there for now I am loving the looks of it! IT gives the rear end exactly what I was looking for!

I was going to put a 3 peice (which i have all the peices for) but hey, this requires less work! No drilling holes for the side peices!

 

Looks really sharp

 

hmm.. looks a little out of place to me its all good though, its what you think that matters

 

Its deffiantly different, I have always tought f-bodys should have a spoiler that wraps down around the tail lights. I could prob get use to it though. So how functional is it though?? Time to go make some fast cornors to test it

Read that

 

im known for going out and doing the unspeakable, but i wouldnt do that ...it looks ok but for some reason it looks out of place as well..this is NOT a flame so dont get me wrong..it is your car if you like it then that is all that matters...it may look better when its all one colour though(like that blue one)

damn if you blow the third one I will gave you a 85 one for free you pay shipping. ok ever wonder why they have that power pull doun unit on the trunk thats so it does not slam it pulls it doun slowly and makes a perfect seal. stuart69427 check that thing and make sure it working propely. becase stress from slamming it will bust them

 

I only pulled it half way down, as in it had not even made it to the hatch pulldown. I would NEVER slam that hatch!

 

There's a guy that runs a third gen Camaro in the Silver State Challenge (hi speed 90 mile NV desert hiway run) that says he's seen a 5mph improvement by using the T/A wraparound spoiler.
He averages over 170 mph for the 90 miles, so it's a very practical hi-speed mod. He also removes his side mirrors.
