'91/'92 z28 wing on Firebird???

Any pics? I remember seeing on a long time ago but it looked like it wasn't wide enough for a Firebird. Anyone solved this problem to get it flush with the fenders??
thanks

Here is a link to the topic that showed the picture of a Z28 wing on a Bird. But the picture won't come up any more. It looked great. I suggest e-mailing him to send it to you or to re-post it. Good luck, Lon.

I think those look pretty cool. I have seen that type of spoiler without the two center pedestels, is that some custom job or what? They look really good.

I'm not that big of a fan of the wing either,, but it was cheap and my aero wing was toast. I'm questioning putting it (the 'maro wing) back on after I get done painting. I'v been thinking of the 91-92 aero wing but I don't think it would look as good with the 87 gfx/look.

Any thoughts/pictures of that one

you did exactly what I'm thinking of. the Z28 wing is cheaper than the aero wing. I like the '91+ aero wing too but I think the '91- wing is more functional. All 200+ MPH f-bodies I've seen use the '91- aero wing(not like we'd need it for that reason ) I was thinking if it was possible to widen the Z28 wing to fit the firebird rear.
