Hi rise spoiler

Can anyone tell me the exact width of a factory high rise spoiler
I got an aftermarket one and I think it's too narrow, here are some pics

not positive on the width i have a factory spoiler at the garage, but the original ends in about the same place. they don't come all the way to the rear quarter panel curve. I modified one of mine to do just this.

I measured mine, at the rear of the spoiler the outside to outside measurement was 56 inches. I have a '91 Z-28

I can't measure mine right now, but that looks too narrow! I am pretty sure the outer edge almost lines right up with the body.

i am sorry to say, but i agree with everyone else. the back corner of the factory spoiler is almost flush with the quarter above the tail light. the front tapers in to about the same place as the one you have, though.

i bought one off ebay for my trans am , knowing the deck and rear is an inch or two wider then a camaro i figured it would just be slightly off but when i got it i had way more then expected, so put the spoiler up to my freinds iroc and it wanst flush, im guessing the aftermarket spoilers are smaller then the actual ones are.

It's not mounted i just took the old one off and set this one on the lid to see what it would look like. I've been looking through tons of posts and some look like mine and some look almost flush, I don't know what to do. I guess the aftermarket ones are a little narrower.I guess maybe I'll mount it and get the car painted and if I find a factory one I'm sure the mounting holes should be the same.Or i'll hope so anyway

Thanks man, I think it may be quite costly to ship to Edmonton, Alberta, from Houston. I don't know maybe not?

ill investigate shipping costs, but i think the real factor would be the size, distance really just takes longer through ups usually.
