rear window solar wing??? does anybody have one of these? i dont think it would look too bad IMO, and would like to see some pics of it on a camaro or firebird/trans am. i have seen a similar wing on rx7s and like the look, just curious as to what it looks like on 4th gen.

honestly it is uglier then the Sportback glass replacement and most of the claims are straight up BS:
LIE: "The rear interior is shaded from the hot sun and harmful ultraviolet rays"
TRUTH: depends on the angle the car is parked at, if you want real protection get a GOOD tint job.
LIE: "the rear window is protected from rain, snow, and dust build up."
TRUTH: rain, snow and dust will still fall on the other 70% of the back glass not covered when the car is parked and this thing will actually block the airflow that would otherwise blow the loose snow off the back glass when you drive.
in the end you will end up with something even harder to clean then the gap between the hatch and wing.
but if you want pics to prove it see near the bottom of this page https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...post-pics.html
or Google "F-BODY REAR SOLAR WING" and switch to images turns out atleast 2 people have had this on their car, 1 bird and 1 camaro

figured it wasnt very popular since i didnt see much, was just curious if anyone had it and had pictures of it on their car. from the few pictures i saw, i thought it kinda had the same lip as the ss spoiler and may look alright, but definately not for $100 or whatever it was. i knew all that shading from the sunlight and protect from rain/snow stuff was bs, but was just curious how it looked.
