Spoiler Help!!

I just recently purchased a high-profile Z28 spoiler from Carpartswholesale.com for my 91 RS camaro. Ive always loved the look of the high rise wing, and decided to go ahead and buy one. Problem is, Im not familar with how its supposed to be attached. Does it connect by the middle two struts? Or the outside struts? If the middle...my wing's middle struts are about an inch longer than the outside. Im baffled, and would loved some help form you experienced guys. How to do it right,m and get that killer look Im goin for.Thanks

all of the posts attatch to the deck lid. It's probably going to be tricky to install because it's aftermarket. Can you get us any pictures?

Actually, I did try searching. lol, sorry Im not very good with computers. Im trying to post these pictures to give you guys a better look at my problem. It seems like the spoiler is not long enough, or the middle supports arent. Its hard for me to tell, Ive never seen how these are supposed to go on. Thanks.

I believe mine attaches in the middle and the sides but I have never really taken it off. The futher back you get it, it will end up splitting between the lid and the rear quarters but you should remove the factory spoiler for a better fit, but it's your car so make it however you want.

stalin05 yours is different cause its not a camaro spoiler. i donno what it is.
1badrs your spoiler is not as wide as the factory one. my 89 iroc had one put on it infront of the stock spoiler. looks like *** in my opinion. i work with cars all day and i find that if your looking for good fit and finish its best to spend the extra for a quality factory part. plainly put aftermarket sucks. plus factory used spoilers are pretty cheap. that spoiler has two bolts on each of the four posts. atleast thats how the factory one my car had was. hope this helps

Raise hell dude. That spoiler is like 3-4 inches too short widthwise. Send it back and shop for a factory one. Ditch the 3 piece too. Fill the preexisting holes and mount it all the way to the back. You will see what I mean when you get a factory piece.
