My plan was to put my 92Z wing back on my 92 vert.

Then was looking at pic's and wondered how a hawks 5inch would look. with the sides molded to the vert caps..

 

I think I honestly like the stock convertible spoiler better than both of those, on a convertible.

 

How difficult is it to put a Z28 rear spoiler on an RS convertible?

the high rise just looks out of place to me I vote stock also

 

I'd like to see the 5" spoiler done.

Be a nice alternative, without deviating too far from the stock lines.

I agree, if done right the 5" can look good.

 

Mmmm, Im not sure what to try. I like the looks of the hi rise.

That looks sick!

 

Personally, I'd like to see someone take the stock vert spoiler and maybe make it about an inch or so higher as it transitions to the rear of the car. I like the look of the stocker, but always thought it was a little short.

BTW, TPI383 I noticed in your sig the T56 crossmember. What was the reason you used that piece? Just curious.

 

I used the T56 crossmember because I had it sitting around. (collecting parts for a T56 swap) So i just added a cross brace to it for the 700r4 mount right now.


Im still not sure what I'll do spoiler wise yet. Im thinking a hawks 5inch with the sides cut / modded to work / molded into the stock caps.

 

i would go for the 5" spoiler myself. Never seen one before, and i think it would look sick. I've seen the Z28 spoiler on a bunch of convertibles, and have never liked the look.

ps. My vert will be here tomorrow or friday!!! $450 for shipping. Cant wait. and i snagged a 1SS !!.

back to the subject. Do the 5"

 

Another spoiler you might want to consider is the one-year-only 1988 "Camaro" spoiler? It's like the '91/'92 hi-rise Z28 spoiler, but it's low-rise, and it fits competely on the deck lid, doesn't hangover the quarter like the hi-rise spoiler does. So it would be a better fit and give you a similar (or even better) look, but more streamlined, not as high.

But since you'll doing all the bodywork to clean-up the cuts and eliminate the trim so you can install a different spoiler of your choice, then I think no spoiler would look good.

 

I had that spoiler on my 88 i owned, Worst spoiler ever IMO. Molded 5" Will look sweet. I have a thing what it comes to looks.

 

i have the z28 high rise wing on my 88 iroc vert, i love it looks so good on them.

 

aye tpi383 dont you look familiar from a certain pcr?!? LOL

im trying to figure out what i should do wit my firebird. wing, spoiler or nothing.

my spoiler is ****.

 

I'd like to see a highrise molded to fit with the side caps kept in place.

 

I haven't seen the 5" spoiler on a convertible, but I think that they look way too big on the Camaros that I have seen them on.

Are there any problems with removing the side caps. I am thinking about removing my stock RS rear spoiler and the side caps. Just trying to make sure that I'm not going to mess anything up with the rear deck, under the side caps, or with the convertible top. Thanks.

When the roof was cut off of the convertibles no real care was taken to mold the fenders back into the decklid/etc. It's just a rough cut so you'd have to clean up the whole top of the fender.

 

Well I guess that I will be waiting until I want to paint the car to remove the spoiler and side caps then. Thanks.

The 5" is sharp on T's and hard tops but it just doesn't flow with the design of the convertible...

On the other hand it is something different...

Just my

 

im not real high on the higher spoilers but what i did, er am in the process of doing is taking the stock wing off of an 84 camaro and have already put it on the trunk. it looks good and lines up great. now i just need to finish up fillin in the holes the douche made when he screwed in the old spoiler to the trunklid cause the original brackets broke off the spoiler.
