1983 Firebird spoiler

I have an 83 firebird 5.0 se that was optioned without the flat spoiler that goes across the back. After searching, I’ve finally found a spoiler in excellent shape. Just curious if anyone has any dimensions of where the holes need to be drilled in the decklid. Thanks

Thats minty!

There should be plugs on the bottom of the decklid under the plastic trim. The plugs cover where the holes would be (I can't see why they would make different decklids for non spoiler models)

They wont be an exact point, but maybe it'll help start you with an idea where they should be?

Took some pics & measurements for you. This piece is from a 1984 Trans Am with a flat pedestal spoiler. The long measurement between holes (center of hole to center of hole) is 3’-3 3/8”
