You'll need to drill new holes in your hatch to mount it.

psst...

dont' overlook that the wing will not the same width as the rear of the firebird. firebirds have like a 1 - 1.5 inch wider rear. so the wing will not flow along the sides without a little 'glassing. just an fyi..

Umm no. Fiberglass and plastics don't seem to bend real good.

I'll post a better pic tonite looking from the rear. IMO it's not as drastic as it sounds.

i know its not as bad as it sounds, but when i do mine i would like it to flow as well as the camaro. IMO.. it doesn't look all that bad as it is, i just want to make my ride unique.
