Straight Firebird rear spoiler question ???

Can a straight wing spoiler be bolted in place of the wrap around one. ???? Will the holes line up ? What about attaching points further forward, can those be cut off with a high speed ?


Appreciate someone in the know fill me in here, thanks.

The mounting holes will not like up & yes, the brackets on the glass can easily be cut off.

That is what I did when I put the 4th gen wing on. Welded the old holes shut, drilled new ones & took off the clips along the sides of the glass.

If you decide to get a Hawks fiberglass rear spoiler in the future, you have the original glass/hatch to mount it to.
