After looking at a few pictures of the Highrise spoiler, I though of something...Dont know if someone makes this spoiler or has done this or not, but what would one look like with the center posts removed? Yeah, might look a LITTLE bit ricy, but I think that if it was done right and the spoiler looked like it was molded into the car (no big gaps anywhere), it could look awsome. Any thoughts?

 

photochop one, and ill give you my opinion.

 

that's impossible, because the center posts are how it mounts. if you tried to mount it using the outer edges of the spoiler, you'd only be able to open your trunk 6 inches

 

Havent we all agreed that nothing is impossible?
either way, here's a cpl images to get an idea?

hope that helps, c ya

 

like this?

The center posts mount to the deck lid...but they are not the only thing that holds the spoiler on to the deck lid. There are also a few bolts on the outter edge of the spoiler that bolt it to the deck lid....I'm sure someone could do this....but not me....way to r*cey......

 

I love that look! To bad the hatch is never gonna open.

 

what'cha mean?

 

yeah, looks awsome IMO but i didnt know that that was how they mounted...Oh well...Thanks

 

why does everyone keep saying that trunk wont open?? doest that spoiler mount on the rear deck lid?
if it did mount to the quarters then with the center post on the spoiler it wouldnt open at all? am i right?

 

oh please where theres a will theres a way. Its possible and I for one like it.

 

That would be SOoooooooo easy to do. I personally dont like the look but if someone wants that Done I have a spair 91-92 wing off my Z. I could mod and sell.

Id have to look but I forget I belive it only mounts with the center 2 posts. You wold **** have to shorten it so it would mount via the outer 2.

 

the spoiler doesnt mount to the quarters at all...it mounts to the very outside of the deck lid and in the center of the decklid. BUT, the main support is by the 2 posts in the ceter...and that's why they were probably put there. The only concern I would see is that the center posts provide most of the support for the spoiler...and after time...without the posts...it would be possible for the middle to start sagging some....just because of the weight and because of gravity...

 

Would there be a way to reenforce the spoiler? That pic of the prototype with the wing like that looks AWSOME IMO, and if theres a way to do it, I would be interested in doing it. Are the aftermarket ones any stronger? Would there be an easy, fairly inexpensive way to strengthen the wing?

 

kinda like this one??

 

Ugh, the abomination concept camaro, that thing is horrible, only good thing about that thing was the gfx we got from it, everything else

 

:werd:

 

Without the center posts wouldn't it just rip off at high speeds? It's only held on by 1 screw and 1 bolt on each end,is that enough?

 

lol u see those aluminum rycer wings flying off?

and just to think..

they installed those themselves

 

Are they able to get that fast?

 

Not certain how by just removing the 2 center posts it all of a sudden becomes an import wing but, anyways...
I can't speak for the OEM highrise but, the A&A one I used to have on my bird was extremely rigid (very well made) and, from my understanding, mounted to the stock bolt locations for and OEM highrise. There were 8 bolts/screws total holding the wing on. I seriously doubt yuou could get going fasst enough for it to rip off, even with 4 bolts holding it down. The edge mount points are as follows (red arrows)...

 

If you were referring to the stock hi-rise wing,as I were,then you see that the screw part was what I thought was the weakest link to holding the wing on.The stock ones are only held on by a skinny screw and a bolt/nut on each end(besides the 2 center posts bolts).So I guessed/questioned whether that would be enough to hold it on or not.Thanks for clarifying.

 

Well, i don't like that look, but its diffrent...
i can tell you, it can be done!!!

given your willing to put in some time, and creativity...
with that in mind anything is possible

 

An Hour of free time and a little glass work and Im almost done.

I have no intensions to use it but It shale be in the classified section as soon as I get around to getting some gelcoat and primer next weekend.

Pic's soon to come.

Now Only if I could get some of you people to commit to the carbonfiber hood.

bbiaf time to do a little more sanding now that the glass should be dry.

 

as I said still need to gelcoat and prime.








I like the look but I'm deff gona stick with my factory wing.

 

I like it!

 

awsome. Any pics from a distance?

 

OMG.. that so needs to be on a honda now.... you butcher, you fiend!! (yes, I'm being sarcastic)

 

Very nice!

 

...just spreading the two center posts out would give it i much more agressive and wide stance IMO

 

.

 

i like how it looks.

 

I'm just not a big fan...but you did good work modifying it...

 

I like it

 

......

 

interesting........i'm in love with the stock piece though. the whole reason why i bought the particular year. if you want to make it aggressive make it fast. classic looks speak for themselves.



nice work chris on the piece though, i could sure use that kind of help on some of my interior things.

 

I agree 100% I love my stock hood and wing. but I love my 3inch cowl more with my stock wing. and when its time My stock wing will be going back on. This was done as a whim just to show the guy who wanted to see what it would look like IRL no need for photoshop. I'll sell it on ebay or Here when I prep it for paint.

What glass pieces are you looking to do jeff?

 

i have one.. off a parts car// i wii get some pics wanna buy it it bolts on at the side!

 

Uhm.. those are production 91/92 gfx... nor was it really a concept.. just a toy for the design team to play with to avoid it being sent to the crusher after its 100k+ stint at the proving grounds. I spent far too much time hovering around that car at super chevy a few years back

 

mostly interior stuff chris..

 

such as? PM or e-mail me. I might be up for some glass work.

 

sounds good.....i'll run some things by you soon.

 

The idea from the 91-92 gfx was gotten from this car. They decided to use the ground effects on this nasty concept to be used for the 91-92.

 

Hmm.. yeah... I guess that thing was built before the 91/92 gfx came to be.

TPI383, what happened to the pics?

 

sorry, Im moving servers and forgot to upload that folder.. They shoul de back up soon. Everything is uploading again now and overnight

 

I cant see the pictures :-(
but i also wondered if anyone can chop a picture of the z28 wing, longer, and lower, to where the sides site abotu 1 inch out from the 1/4 panel, and a few inches lower than stock hight, mayube a few different pics/styles if you guys could.

 

Still no pictures.. I want to see this

Did anyone save a copy before cecoatings moved servers?

 

One word here, UGLY. Looks far to much like something screaming out of the 80's.

Its like: "Meet, my car, the Camaro F40."

BOO

 

I like 80s styling.. that's why I have an 80s car

 

any updates? pics from further away with matching paint?

 

There won't be matching paint unless his car is primer.. he's priming it and selling it, not keeping it for his vehicle.
