can you order the dove tail spoiler yet? if so where at?

VenomZ302 · 05-28-2009, 03:32 PM

Sorry, but I don't really see what you're saying. How is the SS spoiler that different from the '69 spoiler? Are you looking for something more like this?

Needless to say, I like the stock '10 spoiler.

Key: RJT Camaro - Photoshopped spoiler
ABM Camaro - Stock RS/SS spoiler
Burgundy Camaro - Stock '69 spoiler

the dovetail looks funny imo... in the back it just looks randomly stuck on like it doesnt really fit there lol I will be going with the high wing

For me, the SS (RS) spoiler is just too flat. It does a nice job of finishing off the back of the 2010 but nothing else. It needs to stick up more like this shot of a '68. It should also not wrap around the sides like the 2nd gen-inspired Blade spoiler that GM is making. It should flow up in the corners like the 1st gen does.

Just my opinion...

VenomZ302 · 05-28-2009, 05:03 PM

Ah, so you basically just want it to be a bigger version of the current spoiler so that it spans from edge to edge of the rear deck, which would also make it taller. Makes sense.

I still like it as it is, though.

Stock 2010 SS spoiler will be just fine. Looks great.

JewelZ · 05-28-2009, 05:06 PM

don't even think that car requires a spoiler at all, but basic RS lip spoiler is the best choice...

erasedgod · 05-28-2009, 05:17 PM

Great... now I'm curious what a 4th Gen Trans Am spoiler would look like on the 5th gen.

Thanks a ton.

Also, can anyone photoshop that for me?

Current spoiler is flat our perfect in size for me. Subtle enough but enough to add a key difference.

I don't like big spoilers for show. I had one of the first G8 GTs and it had the big wing. That was so popular it was immediately dropped.

If you want bigger, go bigger. But I like it exactly the way it is. I am sure you'll have aftermarket opportunities here shortly.

Is it just me or the crack i was smoking or is that not a 68 camaro in the pic???????? This is my 68, isn't the one above a later model?

erasedgod · 05-28-2009, 06:03 PM

JPSuperman, is yours a Z/28 (or clone)?

jpsuperman81 · 05-28-2009, 06:13 PM

Neither, mine is a stock SS 396 car original just the way it came. My family bought it in 68 and to my knowledge nothing has been changed except engine cause its not numbers matching but it is a 396, been painted once and interior done once. Nothing else done to it that I know of.

jpsuperman81 · 05-28-2009, 06:18 PM

My guess would be that burgandy camaro is possibly a ss clone, later model or both. I'm not super familiar with all the early year but that whole rear is different besides just the tails. Maybe its a 69 or something and the guys post was a typo. Hard to tell without side and front view.

That's a '69. One of the dead give aways is how the tail lamps look. Compare them to yours.
