daytona wing?..

just a question.. but has anyone ever thought of or tried to put a plymouth Daytona Super-Bird wing on a third gen?.. i think it would look kinda cool with a cowl hood?.. what do you guys think?

Re: daytona wing?..

it has been done and I do have a pic of it. Years ago I saved. Pic of a firebird that was semi converted to one. I'm away from my main computer on business but when I get back in town I will upload it.

Re: daytona wing?..

It could look very good if your in the right frame of mind. Just don't show it to these guys. They hate it.

Re: daytona wing?..

i thought i was crazy too. but to me the daytona wing is just too big for me, but the right idea. i do like the 91-92 z wings, but i always wanted one a few inches taller. without the mounting poles inside. honestly kind of exactly like the one in that link that got bashed to hell. i love that camaro

Re: daytona wing?..

For the love of God no!!!! The wing does not even look good on the Daytona or Superbird, but it's part of the package so I can respect it on them, not any other car.

Re: daytona wing?..

Cool,No,No,No,try lame.
IMO,it reminds me of the "Tuner cars" with the "tall" wings in the back,only much worse.
If some one were to do it than they might as well put on a 3 foot tall Daytona hood to match.
Those two items should get them plenty of attention. (most likely negative for defacing a perfectly good Camaro)
As far as fit goes it looks as if the hatch would hit it when open.
Sorry about the negative reply but some times this site boggles my mind.
