'89 RS Spoiler or High Rise Spoiler?

Need some opinions on this. I have an '89 RS w/ the '89 style GFX, '89 rear spoiler, and a '91-'92 Z28 hood. Should I leave the '89 RS spoiler or switch to a '91-'92 Z28 hatch w/ a high rise spoiler? I'm torn.

Re: '89 RS Spoiler or High Rise Spoiler?

If your going to leave it with the 85-90 ground effects....then I would just leave the stock spoiler on. Just depends what look your going for. The 91-92 Z28 spoiler doesn't look right to me with the 85-90 style ground effects...

You have an RS. So keep the RS spoiler on it.

Re: '89 RS Spoiler or High Rise Spoiler?

i have an 89 RS and i switched the spoiler. in my opinion i think it is worth it. i think it looks much better.

Re: '89 RS Spoiler or High Rise Spoiler?

i have/have had both . i have had , 89rs , 88sc , now a 91 with the hi-rise . did not like the 88s/c spoiler , the 91 hi-rise is o.k. , liked the 89 spoiler best . 91 blocks a little of your rear vison , not much , but a little . just my thoughts . good luck .

Another vote to keep the RS spoiler (wife).

Re: '89 RS Spoiler or High Rise Spoiler?

Stay Stock. My '91 B4C has the High Rise and I want the stock back on it. It was nice for a few years then I missed the sleeper look I had. People think its a Z28 sometimes now.
