91-92 high rise spoiler

I have always wanted one for my 85 camaro. Does anyone know if they can be installed on 85s, and if so, where to get an after market spoiler cheap like the ones on the 91-92?

they wil fit...BUT you'll have to take the 3 piece spoiler off, weld all the holes up.....finish and primer the holes, drill new holes, and mount the highrise. I think you can get them off of ebay for a pretty cheap price....

Has anyone ever seen one of the Hi-rise spoiles on a convertible? Did it look stupid?

I personally think a Vert would look better with a pedestal mounted spoiler. Like the Greenwood spoilers from the early 90s Vette or something similar. The high-rise is WAY overkill, would look trashy IMHO.

No, the ones off spoiler2000 are crap. Just ask z28*****, as he bought one. It was a cheap piece of plastic that would not fit right on the car. Just look for an OEM one on ebay or the classifieds. Some of the aftermarket ones are good, but you can't beat factory in terms of fitment.

Jebus. You can't even say someone's user ID without it getting censored. Anyways, look up z28rycer, but replace the "y" with an "i".

I bought mine from spoiler2000.com and have been pleased with it. I've had it going on two years now. Btw... my wing is fiberglass, not plastic and the fit and finish was great. I know this doesn't help z28r!cer, but one bad item doesn't make them all crap. Customer service, on the other hand, is a different story. According to him, he had troubles returning the wing. But I had no such issue. I would also point out that I'm not the only member running the spoiler2000 wing. There are several of us that I know of. Good Luck!!

Thanks! Glad to hear that someone has one and it worked out. Looks like they cleaned up their act, I am just a little shy to work with places with bad reputations. That third lamp looks pretty sharp!
