Camaros without spoilers

Hello fellow TGO members,
I own an 82 stock Camaro and I know it didn't come with a rear spoiler. The previous owner installed a spoiler in 1992 and I am wanting to see any pictures of a stock Camaro without a rear spoiler to see if I like the look.
Thanks,
Lawrence

You might do a search. IIRC, there was a thread a while back concerning California cars and spoilers.

Yeah, do a and you'll find what you're looking for.

If you wanted to change that spoiler take a look at the 5" custom one, looks like the 2nd gens. Really sharp.

Thanks for sharing those pictures, you have a really nice car. My problem is that you have a great front profile on the car which evens out the rear. I have a stocker and I am thinking my car will look naked or to plain jane without the spoiler? The last shot of your car with the grids looks awsome but I wont put grids because I am keeping it stock.
Thanks for posting,
Lawrence

Thanks for the advice but I am tired of seeing and hearing, "do a search” If I wanted to spend my entire day filtering out the millions of posts here why have an interactive board? There are new members joining everyday and just because something has been covered before a LONG TIME AGO why not do it again. You senior members who have been here forever don’t need to remind everyone to DO A SEARCH, maybe we don't want to!
Have a wonderful day.

Thanks for sharing and not telling me to DO A SEARCH. Your car looks great and may be the deciding factor for me to dump the spoiler.

Just trying to be helpful. You'll find far more info by searching than in waiting for responses. Laziness isn't wonderful and neither is arrogance. Have a better day.

Come on kids, it was a simple request for a picture.

I didn't think it would look to good, I don't think the firebird pull it off at all, and some cars just don't look anything like they do with spoilers. But the Camaro really pulls it off. It looks really clean.

I 100% hate them without spoilers, i think it makes the *** end look like ****...

Just my opinion though.

I feel the same way but my wife insists that it would look better without the spoiler. I think it looks naked but the picture that mw66nova showed me from the rear end of his car actually looked pretty good. His car looked stock like mine is bit I think if I remove the spoiler it will look awful.
