Anyone use one of these??

So I was looking through eBay the other day and came across this high rise 91-92 style camaro spoiler with a third brake light in it. I actually kind of liked it and was wondering if anyone has used one of these and how it might look on an actual car?

You might try PMing Pillsbry10. Don't know the brand but he has one with the brake light on his car.

I have one,..... It's not currently mounted but I've got a coupe pics of it mounted to the 91RS I used to own.









I know that you do't really get a good look at the spoiler in those images - but those are the only decent pics I could find.

Thanks that’s what I was looking for! Much appreciated! What do you think of the quality?

That spoiler came on mine when I bought it. Quality is fine however it is not quite as wide overall as the OEM piece. It's a minor thing not many would notice.

Re: Anyone use one of these??

I think the quality of my unit is pretty good.

At one point in time the hatch I had that spoiler mounted to was standing against a tree with a few other spares. The tree ( a big one ) leaned over so much after a storm that in knocked over 3-4 of the hatches that were leaning against it. This "busted" the spoiler when the hatch landed spoiler-down - with a couple other hatches on top of it. Even after that hard-landing the damage was quite minor,... it had split open along the original seam and it was easily repaired by re-sealing the seam.




I was not able to repair similar damage to a stock Firebird spoiler that was damaged the same way at the same time.

Re: Anyone use one of these??

What is the spoiler made out of and does this spoiler use the exact same mounting hole location(s)? I ordered one before I found a stock spoiler but they emailed me saying they were out of stock so I cancelled my order and found my current OE spoiler. Problem now is I do not have a third brake light and this spoiler would solve that issue.
