Who makes the best wrap around rear spoiler?

I'm lookign to get a good wrap around spolier for both my 85 Firebird project and my bro's 92 Firebird. I'm trying to find a manufacturer that has dealers so I might be able to become one and get dealer pricing. Can anyone point me in the right direction? We both have the stock Firebird hatches, so we'd prefer not to have to change that.

Anyone got anything?

I got 2 from Hawks, unfortunately I have not had time to install them so I do not know the fit, but I know Bruce Hawkins is a pretty straight up guy, give him a call, if you buy 2 you will save on shipping.

I'll give him a call. I trust him a lot. If one of my customers needs something that I can't get, I always refer then to Hawks.

Mines from Next Gen. The body shop said the only way to mount it was to use adhesive on the front wraparound parts. He said the spoiler didnt come with the clips to attach it to the hatch.

There are only 3 places that make the spoiler unless hawlks has started making them in house and they all look the same from what ive seen.

Your body man was wrong, it comes with some self taping screws that you put in the spoiler arms and they slide into the orginal clips. Unless yearone forgot to send you the screws, they also normally come with the clips for non wrap around spoiler cars. Mine is from ram air hoods up top.
