91-92 Z28 Highrise Quality Questions...
I'm going to be in the market for a highrise 91-92 wing here soon....
In terms of quality, is there a lot of difference between aftermarket and factory? I see the wings on Ebay alot for like $85-$100 new, assumed aftermarket.
I don't want to pay $150+ for this thing unless I HAVE to. Anyone had any experience with fit on the aftermarket ones?

i have had some of the high rise aftermarket spoilers . the ones i have seen that are just the generics are very flimsy if you pushed on them hard they would probbably crack. The OE ones are much better quality. i have also heard wings west are decent but have never actually seen one. i would buy a used OE one before a new generic aftermarket one.

The spoiler 2000 one sucks, it seemed to be hollow abs plastic and mine wasnt anywhere near right, it seemed to be twisted longways, when I emailed them about it they said i must have an aftermarket trunk
even after showing them pics of the thing sitting in my floor they still argued with me and it took threatening to put a stop payment with my cc co to get them to give me a refund.
The A&A which is not made any more was a very nice piece and lined up with the bolt holes on a stock hatch that had a factory 91/92 wing, its a shame they arent made anymore, and i think it was solid fiberglass.
Wings West was a hollow fiberglass and i'd say quite a nice piece, doesnt line up with the factory holes but chances are thats probably not going to cause you any grief.
Get the Wings West from jegs and be done with it, its around $200, but i'd have to bet those ebay ones are giant pieces of crap like the spoiler2000.com piece.
