No way, IMO either one or the other. Not both.

I can't remember seeing used cars with that type of sticker around here. I swear to god, at first I thought it was some new Subaru knockoff. And that's only after two beers. I'll be more coherent in the morning.

thats exactly what i say as well...i really just found out what ricer meant like a month ago and i hate that word as well...especially since you can go around calling almost every car one if you wanted to be picky...

If you've ordered either the RS or SS, you'll need to buy another trunk lid if your going to add the High Wing Spoiler IMO. That being said, expect to pay at least $400 for the new lid + $100-200 to paint it + 1 hour of labour to aline and install +++ = $500 - $600 spend and that doesn't include the cost of the High Wing in the first place.

This could easily cost $1,000 by the time you're done, however, the DoveTail at $400 US ( which uses the same holes as the RS/SS ) will look a lot better IMO.

Yep, that's about what I thought it would cost. But that is something I can add on later after I buy the car. So I can save up for it. In the mean time I can stick with my original trunk lid until the High wing trunk lid gets bought, highrise wing put on, and painted. After that it's just a couple bolts from either being a high wing day, or a mini spoiler day.

I've had a dovetail spoiler before, I'm looking for something different this time around

RSm1thX · 05-21-2009, 12:01 AM

the dovetail does look nice...

SicSix6 · 05-21-2009, 12:06 AM

I don't know if it is available at all. Is gmpp offering the high wing yet??? I'm interested in knowing?

Teleplayer · 05-21-2009, 12:21 AM

Don't get the high wing rice spoiler.

TaylorRyanSS · 05-21-2009, 02:26 AM

why not just wait until cars are on the lots, find a camaro the same color thats either an LS or a non RS LT and have the trunks switched? I am sure the dealer would be happy to have a spoiler added to a non RS car... they can add on $200 or so to the cars price

thats what I am going to do anyways since there is no point in buying and painting a whole new trunk lol
