Re: Whale Tale Spoiler

whale tail????? not sure I've heard them called that on the fbodies, if it were a VW bug then yeah I've heard the term. the closest I've seen for that is outa year one and they call it the TURBO II.($335.00 +s&h) as far as the RPO codes look under your console lid and run them thru the RPO list here.

Re: Whale Tale Spoiler

There is no RPO code for Hood Blisters, the 91/92 Formy/TA/GTA wing or high rise Z28 spoiler... they are part of the upgrade packages, not individual options.

Re: Whale Tale Spoiler

I have here the 1991 Camaro dealer service manual, and it does list an RPO code for the Z28 hi-rise. Not sure why; I don't see one for the hood blisters.

It says it's D81.

Re: Whale Tale Spoiler

yearone has the rpo code as D80 for the 91-92 firebird but they dont have a pic to see if its that whale tale or not but if you want to buy one hawks has it. for those wanting a mecham wing fbodymotorsports.com has it.

Re: Whale Tale Spoiler

I would not be suprised if D80 just means Spoiler, not anything special outside of that being that the Camaro in 87-90 also had the RPO code D80 meaning the Camaro 3 piece spoiler. D81 means Aero Wing. D81 was also used in 88 and many other years...

Why not just buy the Mecham wing, direct from http://mechamperformance.com ? They call it the Aero Tail.

I love their "Regular Price: $500.00 Your Price:$449.00 Save $50.00"

Hell, the Regular Price, direct from Mecham, is $449.00!

Re: Whale Tale Spoiler

For the 91/92 Firebird you would have the RPO D81.
