rear wing options?

sorry for the double post, I meant to post the other one here. anyway, has anyone ever adapted a non f-body wing to fit a third gen f-body? how much work was involved? anybody have any pics?
as an example.... I know its for a ford, but I'd love to adapt something like this http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/67...00rearwing.jpg
to fit my gta

Yeah.....That's a Roush 'stang in his pic.

What about the 5" IROC spoiler? Not quite the same, but.....Should be really close to a direct fit. Just need to drill the mounting holes for it.

Like the standard IROC (which became the RS spoiler later) just about 2" taller & a little more laid back.

Re: rear wing options?

that looks a LOT better than the camaro wing I have now :P I wonder how well it fits the bird quarters, they are slightly different at the top arent they?

Re: rear wing options?

the rear quarter panels are way different. the 5 inch follows the camaro taillights which wrap around into the quarters instead of lights stopping in the back like the birds
