No idea on how to do it so it wouldn't look retarded. Only way would be to keep it off. Seriously it would look stupid, it would look like a peterbuilt LMAO.

But if you like it go ahead, post some pics so we can all see it.

Yes, please! I really need something to laugh at....

Who knows, it might add 5 more HP than an APC sticker.

Re: 3rd gen roof wing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While this idea is laughable, there actually was a roof wing for 3rd gen Camaro's. I remember seeing advertisements for it way back in 92 when I bought my car. The wing mounted on the roof (obviously) just to the rear of the windshield. OO, my bad..it was a nose wing..just as stupid though

you sure are excited about it. What the heck gave you this idea? Your instincts are correct, it would look terrible. no spoilers on the roof! and only one spoiler on the hatch!

The roof wing is only ok if your name is Mad Max and you drive the Interceptor.
