That way you can be just like everybody else! Take a look at the freedom spoiler, I think I remember reading a while back the RK one had some issues with cracking.

I think LGmotorsports, its the one used on the Dick Harell cars. Here is a link to an old discussion & pics of the Freedom & RK sport spoiler.

RK sport was used on dick harrel cars(or at least the same style), Freedom is cool, but it is alot more rounded around the edges, and looks bad at some angles, particularly directly from behind.

I personally like the SS spoiler. I have seen the Freedom one in person not to crazy about it. If it was a 3 piece kit I think it would look a lot better

i just took mine off a few months ago(freedom) and for now i just have a flat camaro oem spoiler.
i sold it to a friend and seen it on his car and thought to my self **** thats a big wing lol.
i think you at least have to have a hood to go with the wing or it looks way off.

click my fquick link in my sig for some old and some newer pics with the wing and i will be geting an ss spoiler to me it has the right lip with out being to big.

It looks nice and flows well as long as there is a cowl hood on the car... Otherwise, it stands out too much IMO

Original LG spoiler here but to newbies Freedom design. LG's were made w/a superior material vs the Freedom version. As for being too big or whatever it's all a matter of opinion. It's a functional wing whereas a SS isn't. Been down the autobahn w/ both rear spoilers and the SS scares me past 130, but the LG I've been clocked @ over 190mph by polizie and the car was more planted in the rear the faster I went. The less people who have them the better.

"similar", but not close to as nice. i think some cars, lke yours (honestly) look pretty good with it, but thats because of everything else you have done. but most just dont pull it off to me. but like i said, it has nothing on the 2nd gen cars, because on them it fitted perfect with the car, where as...not so much on the 4th gens.

i think the 3 piece one looks better (rksports- i think) than the freedom one. i like how it seems to curve upward more, and since it is 3 pieces, it actually sticks to the car all the way across, unlike the freedom, which i have seen some with where it does not sit flush on the sides, which really looks horrible. -i think which ever way you go,they look best molded with the body of the car so that it is not so obviously stuck on the car.
