I can't imagine anyone knocking it - really doesn't look that much apart from a Camaro, all things considered.
I like it, but then, I just love the hi-rise period.

To me that seems like it would defeat the purpose of having gfx. The darker color on the bottom will make it seem like it's a higher car (even if you ever lower it) and the full width "pinstripe" (which isn't really "pin" sized) will clash with the other black lines going down the gfx.

That's a really interesting combination you got there. I looked at it first and thought the wing didn't look right on a firebird, but then I looked at it as a whole with the cowl hood and realized how good it looks and how well the hood and wing go together.
that spoiler always looked more like a block with bold edges like the camaro where as a pontiac is sleek with sexy lines that are alot different. i don't like it but it's your car and they look better when they are painted.

I wouldnt' do that, I would just paint the whole car silver. It would look a lot better trust me. Its hard to make stripes look good with a cowl hood.

Ya, that spoiler looks like crap, you should send it to me.
will these spoilers fit on a notchback? i'm itching to get one on my car which has a notchback. ifs its not a direct fit, ill trim the sides to fit the deck. anyone know for sure? no its not a factory notchback. its the style with the louvers in the middle if you've ever seen one before.

Get it and put it on, if you need to trim, trim it. It should look great on a notchback.

raffi, looking good there. It'll be nice to see it painted soon! I agree that the black ground effects will hide them at night. During the day, i think they'd look fine. Are you painting the rims also? oh and did the whole rim leak thing work out for you?
As far as the spoiler on the notchback, I'm not sure which notch you're referring to but just check out a few pics of the spoiler and be sure the mounting points are the same on your notchback as on a stock hatch.

well there is no mounting points on the notch. its a flat surface that you can drill through to mount whatever type of wing you like. it actually has a fiero GT wing on there right now from the previous owner of the notch. if it was on a firebird or TA, it would look REALLY nice but its a camaro so its gotta go. the only thing the highrise could possibly rub on is the rails that run down to the back of the notch on the sides. gives it a sold look from the side. thats why i was asking. i don't think i'd have to modify the wing, but if i do it wouldn't be much more then angling the far cornors.

Well the rim leak turned out to be a slit in the sidewall of the other tire i was putting on the rim even thought i think the shop that put it on might have punctured the tire with the wheel weights because thats where thae leak was but I think I might be putting off paint i just found a 340 hp 350 near me for a good price cus the 305 aint cuttin it and im fine with the primer paint job for now.
