I just received mine. Had to meet the driver down the road because the 18 wheeler wouldn't fit down my driveway, but I'm still happy.

Re: 85-90 Fiberglass Wrap Around Rear Spoiler

i waited till a few folks got theirs before i orderd and all seems happy so far. put an order in today for 2 and Stephen took care of me pretty good. shipping and all fees were less than pre quoted and said they should be in late this week or next week.

i'll report on the wing when it comes in. first experience with HAWKS and so far im pleased.

Here they are!

My spoiler am installed. It took about an hour. The underside of the spoler is tapped for standard coarse threads. However, the bolts for the 'arms' were metric, a #10 socket I think. Hawks if you want higher res pics, contact me.

Re: 85-90 Fiberglass Wrap Around Rear Spoiler

If you have brand new struts, I might think about attempting it with the old ones, since mine are probably OE and its pretty...snappy. LOL. Don't pull up on the spoiler or use it to close the hatch though. This is a pretty robust piece, but it is 2 halves laminated together with threaded inserts. Ive no idea what the inserts are attached to, if anything LOL.

Re: 85-90 Fiberglass Wrap Around Rear Spoiler

thats a habit i gotta break is grabing the wingwhen opening. with the new wing and a purchaswe of new struts to comp the wing it "should" pop open like its supposd to.

even if it dosent open all the way like my friends 88 GTA it should hover above the latch and that alone is a big deal.
