Spoiler Question

I like the 5inc spoiler hawks offers but i dont have that kind of money, will a 2nd gen spoiler fit on a 3rd gen since they had the bigger spoiler.

It can fit if you take the time to fabricate everything.

yep, it will take a bunch of fabrication to get it to fit. The rearends are designed pretty different between the two generations

I want the same thing for my T/A, but there is a huge difference. The 2nd gens trunk lid wasn't as wide as a 3rd gens, so the center section will come up short. Then the quarter panel extension parts will overhang onto the decklid of a 3rd gen. The angles are different too. A 3rd gen's deck lid is basically horizontal and flat wheras the 2nd gen angled downward going from the rear glass to the bumper. It would need to be completely fabricated. You're fortunate, someone already makes a 5" spoiler for the Camaro! I have no choice but to fabricate one for my 'bird.
