Hirise wings

I was wondering If I could use a highrise wing from a 1992 Camaro to a 1989? could you add some pics if possible?

Thanks

Engine: 355 forged 4 bolt, SuperRam, 58mm t
Transmission: T5, looking for t-56
Only good pic I could find of my brother's 89 RS (primered gray in outside lane) and my RS that I added a hi rise to (black RS). The spoiler will go on any 3rd gen with no probs. Just have to drill the new mounting holes of course, and have the old ones filled in(if your car has the 3 piece spoiler).

I have both spoilers on my car. I didn't think I'd like it. But then I saw them both on the car I got my hi-rise from, and I do like it.
I post a pic when I get home later today.

you'll probably get ripped for having both spoilers on. I also think that the two spoilers on one car thing never looks right. It makes me think the owner didn't know how or bother to remove the original spoiler properly.

interchangable thoughout all the years, it will look ugly if you have the 3-piece on there.

here it is on my 85 TA

Yep its possible, I have a 91 hi-rise on my 87 Z28. Just fill the old holes and drill the new ones, then paint.

Can you take a picture to clear it up a bit? where did you buy it from? And generally you would remove the 3-piece spoiler before installing the new one

For the corners, take out your interior plastics and there will be 2 nuts holding them on.
