The install was pretty easy, it took me around 1 hour, you need to remove all the studs on the 4th gen spoiler except for the one rear left and right studs, so basically the whole spoilers only getting bolted down by 2 studs, BUT its actually very sturdy even though it doesnt sound like it would be sturdy. I drilled the two new holes as close/far up on the decklid before the glass, DO NOT drill through the glass cause it will probably break, then i extended the short legs on the decklid of the spoiler down with some cheap plastic sign material that i cut into ovals and built them up till they touched the decklid, then i screwed them into the short legs to hold their positions and fiberglassed + sanded them to shape and it worked perfectly, the 3rd brakelight also plugs right in to the existing connector for the old one.

yeah i would prefer 17 inch ROH rims but these will work for now, and i dont get why the nose is so high up, the springs are stock from 89 is the stock height supposed to sit up that high?

vorgath

looks very good indeed, so I do have a few questions about it, how wide is it ? and is it a heavy part or ?

Needs Black Crosslace GTAs, and a like 2 inches lower. But looks great man.

Actually the 4th gen spoiler is almost HALF!!! the weight of the stock spoiler, and its a little wider and taller than stock, ALSO be aware that the spoiler from a 93-97 Trans Am is recommended because the 98-02 has a slightly different curve to it. My spoilers from a 1996 Trans Am.

And yeah i want to get the Eibach pro kit springs and the rims are a sort of love it or hate it thing.

Heres a picture to see how far back the spoiler goes in comparison to the bumper

I almost want to try adding one to my Camaro lol

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

yeah i wonder what that would look like haha probably pretty sick, when i look in the rear view mirror the spoiler looks so much like the 91-92 camaro high-rise spoiler, someone should try photo-shopping one

86T/A_Ram_Air

looks like a clean install but i do not like it...but thats my personal opinion

The 4th gen wing is basically a taller version of the 91-92 formula/gta aerowing.

That looks freaking sweet. Great job

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

WOW that purple camaro really pulled it off good, and they also removed the extra legs on the spoiler, i kinda like the look of that too

and @ foofighters92, thankss man!

karl's-92'-z28

iTrader: (5)

Yeah i was thinking about doing that to the middle legs also when i get mines. I also like the way they smoothed the rear bumper on that purple camaro were the emblems go. Looks like imma hve to get 2 of these spoilers, 1 for the Formula & 1 for the Iroc. Looks awsome 88cam thanks for the inspiration & pics.

^^^ just popped in a 4th gen rear out of a 1995 z28 $150 (3.43, 28 spline, LT1 rear brakes, Posi) it gives so much more launch than my old 2.73s, had to make new brake lines and used the 3rd gen brake line T it took me like 10 mins, then everything bolted up it was so easy! heres pictures of the wider rears, and i threw in a functioning pic of the 3rd brake light.

karl's-92'-z28

iTrader: (5)

Looking good, i got a free 4th gen rear end myself a few years back. Dont know from what year? Did the e-brake cable work or did you have to.buy a longer one?

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

right now i dont have one i snipped off the stock drum ones, i have to find the right cable to order, i hear it has to be from a 90s camaro with discs

LOVE IT X2!!!! sweet post!!!!

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

Thankyou!!

and i took some better pics today they are brighter and higher quality because i know some of my others are pretty fuzzy

Gonna pickup my spoiler in 2 weeks along with a complete intetior out of a '97 trans am, all leather & power.

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

which car are you putting it into? and what color is the car

karl's-92'-z28

iTrader: (5)

The trans am leather stuff are going in my Formula + the spoiler, the interior is grey. I also have a complete 2000 SS black leather camaro interior for my '92 Z28. Both are complete interiors from dash to hatch & i mean everything...lol

i like it, since i installed one as well, but i think it flows better on a 91/92 style with the ground effects on the doors, the "swoop" of the wing matches exactly with 91/92 trans am ground FX, also matches the RAII angle/swoop hood exactly, my cars almost done, ill be posting pics, and it is being slammed 3 inches due to the light weight of the new drivetrain. Still looks nice on your car, i agree with the lowering, it will look 10 times better if you slam that car.

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

damn i wana see some pictures, do you have a thread for them or no?

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

yeah i know but where i live is kinda hilly, but ill eventually do it when i get money, do you have any pics of your car?

karl's-92'-z28

iTrader: (5)

well picked up my spoiler & trans am interior, ill keep you posted

4FishLimit

Not bad, but I think that the two inner posts need to go IMO, it looks much cleaner and seems to flow with the lines of the car better.

I have been thinking of what to do with my aging factory vinyl wing, and I may just go this route, but as mine is an '86, the third brake light is externally mounted, so I would probably delete the one on the 4th gen spoiler.

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

nice man i really wanna see this!

yeah its been awhile now and the wings holding up great, and just paint the brake light body color or just leave it red and not functioning

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

hey just putting up this extra pictures so people can use it as a reference (4th gen spoiler next to stock)



and heres some nice quality pictures of the spoiler, its been over half a year since i installed it. holding up great and its still very sturdy

Never been a fan of the 4th gen spoiler on third gens..

But, man that looks killer on your car.

aks

i think it looks great. i just dont like those tail lights. I think the other t/a taillights would make it look much better. but love the spoiler man.

88FormulaKiller

iTrader: (8)

check out my garage, i have one on a 91 w/GFX, no rear shots but i have 2 piece lights

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

yeah the tail lights grew on me, i wanted to keep the car with the original formula look but the reproduction spoiler from hawks was over $500 so i went the alternative route with the 4th gen spoiler, and i still have the original rims so i can return the car back to stock fairly easily if i wanted to... if i can get a hold of a fiberglass wrap around spoiler, but the 4th gen is a good alternative and weight saver compared to stock

karl's-92'-z28

iTrader: (5)

I have my spoiler, but havent test fitted it yet. Its black, so i have to get it painted & holes filled from the old spoiler.

BlackenedBird

iTrader: (5)

FYI....Not all 4th gen wings are the same. 2 versions. Hope you bought a 93-97 one.

93-97 & 98-02. 93-97 fits...98-02 "fits" but leaves gaps between the bottoms & the car. And I'm not just talking about the center 2 posts that need to be extended on all of the 4th gen wings.

karl's-92'-z28

iTrader: (5)

Yea all the parts came off a '97 Trans Am. Complete interior, rearend & spoiler for $280.

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

Wow dude your car looks really good, it flows with the ground effects


thats a sick deal, and you need to post up some pics when you actually do it lol.....and the guy above me is also right, buy the 93-97 style

have you ever replaced your front springs? It looks like they arent indexed correctly.

88camaroscv6

iTrader: (1)

no, the front springs are stock, and yeah i know it sits kinda high for some reason.

iTrader: (12)

Anyone off hand have a measurement reference for where the bolt holes need to be drilled?

I don't want to guess..

Just finished welding shut the factory holes. Trying to get this thing ready for paint.

Sorry for the bump, but which studs did you mean exactly on the spoiler to remove? the ones closer to the glass, or the ones closer to the taillights?
