Re: Finally lowered the Roastedchicken
The aero wing has little tabs factory welded to the metal frame around the rear hatch. You would either have to cut them off, grind, and replace, or get new rear glass without them.
Or just buy a fiberglass aero wing like I want to do...

Re: Finally lowered the Roastedchicken
I think it might be a Camaro wing, that's why I asked. I dont think it looks too bad like that and having owned a Camaro with that wing(assuming it is a Camaro wing) I know it will actually last, and it looks better than the little pedastal wing that comes on some 'birds.
Yeah, Im aware of the tabs. Ive thought about the fiberglass wing but lack of $ can be a bitch.

Re: Finally lowered the Roastedchicken
It is a Camaro wing. I've always like the look of the high-rise Z28 spoiler on the '85-'90 Trans Am's.
Nice car Roastedchicken. Those wheels look pretty good. Now you just need some bigger brakes to fill them in.

Re: Finally lowered the Roastedchicken
Sorry it took me so long to respond guys Its acually a Wings West Camaro wing. It came on the car when i got and wasnt sure about it but since owning the car i ve fallen in love with that spoiler . It finishes the back of the off just right. Dont laugh at me but the rims are Bullit Mustang wheels but ive purchased chrome bullet caps to go in the center and completely change the look of the wheels. They look just like a really wide TT2 with the bullets . Ill post pics when i install them . PS The Bullit wheels are WAY cheaper in price than a TT2.

Re: Finally lowered the Roastedchicken
The wheels came from replicawheels.com. And the drop is 2in all around. On the front we had to remove the fender lip and inner fender well, and hack off a pinchweld on the top of wheel well. In the back we rolled the lip and thats it. It actually rubbed before i lowered and not now. It turns locked to lock no rubbing.

Re: Finally lowered the Roastedchicken

Thanks
