In the catalog it has lengths from low 50" to above 60" wide.

I had that wing on my RX7. The tuner guys call it a touring wing. The problems I see putting on a 3rd gen are,

1. The ends are actually lower than the mounts/ pedistals. The end has to hang over the sides.

2. It is curved quite a bit which would look weird compared to how straight across the back of our cars are.

I got mine from summit and was very happy with the quality of the part, if that helps any.

best looking for firebird is the 4th gen styled spoiler and for camaro the 5in rear spoiler or the 91-92 Z28 rear spoiler aero type. Hawks and other companies makes these.

Considered, the one you speak of runs $349...PLUS shipping

This one is $159.95 plus $8.95 handling and free shipping.

This "wing" more of a spoiler is fiberglass and not an aluminum WING like most poser ricers have.
