You'll have to drill holes, unless you're getting the decklid with it. If the new spoiler doesn't cover your existing holes, you'll either have to weld them shut or switch to a non-drilled decklid and just drill the new holes in it.

I believe deadbird has a Firebird with a Z28 hi-rise spoiler on it. It looks really nice. You might see if his car is in reader's rides.

Don't know if you'll find anything with that spelling. I had to spell it like this, Zepher, since the correct spelling was already used by my ISP. I've had this name for such a long time, I didn't bother changing it.

What are the specs on that cam? How bad are you guzzeling gas now? Your polish job on the tpi setup doesn't look too bad either.
Thanks for the inspiration

Does the wing fit on the trunk?? I am about to do the same thing and it just looks like there isn't enough space to bolt it down.
