is this hatch compatible with my wing?
I have a guy that wants to sell me a hatch off his 88 z28 but hes got the 1 piece spoiler and i have the 3 piece spoiler on my 86.
If i take off his 1 piece spoiler would i be able to bolt up my 3 piece spoiler center piece without making holes?
Any help appreciated.

John, just remove the plastic cover that's covering the bolt holes to see if they match up to each other And get off the phone and get your *** to work tool boy!!

I don't know how the feet line up on the deck, between the Hi-Rise Wing & the "RS" spoiler.
I'd say get both hatches side by side (park beside his) & start measuring.
The quarter panel holes are no big deal, just drill, put yours on & done. But on the top, I can't be certain if the "RS" spoiler will cover any Hi-Rise holes if new ones are needed to be drilled. If it covers them, then not a big deal. Nobody would ever know. If not? That means welding the old holes shut & repainting. IMHO, still not a big deal, as I've done that before.

Re: is this hatch compatible with my wing?
unfortunately the 3 piece and hi rise use different mounting holes. some opt to change out the complete metal hatch piece or fill them in; i'm going the second route when I take off my rapidly disintegrating wrap around
