Give me a stock Z28 spoiler and ill make it. Just cut the center section out and use foam to build up the height and glass it all in.

And anybody else with that idea will also get flammed. The SS wing looks good as is. Definitely no reason to justify "winging" your SS spoiler unless you wanna look cool for the rice crowd.

I like the idea of a bigger wing, but out instead of up. Id like to see an extended z28 spoiler similar to the roush mustang spoiler. Tall spoilers look ricey.

Not the best pic of what im trying to describe but close enough. A pic of pro street spoiler might be better lol

Flame on bro! It's your opinion! I wasn't asking for an opinion but rather if it could be done if you don't like it go post in another thread and keep comments to yourself !

On another note I just got a free ss wing and I am going to try and work on this

Your all negative! i have the idea, god knows its better than most things out here, just my 2 cents that rather than saying that all will bash and flame on it!

I love the input but not when it is totally unneccesary...

That idea isn't bad, seen plenty of camaros with it, not usually SS's though, those guys keep their spoilers, the Z28 guys usually go with that type of spoiler, a little smaller than the pick you've shown and raps around the car. But since the OP has an SS, not sure if he would want to switch it out.

In that case, anything is possible. Just want to make sure it looks like one piece, not something stacked on top of something else, thats horrible. Not too familiar with SS spoilers but maybe you could change the angle so that you keep your original spoiler and get the height you want.

if it would look anything like that ^^^^^^ then that would be hideous!!! not only would it ruin the car but you would look like "that guy" and your rear view mirror would REALLY be useless!!!! some things work on some cars and some dont, that does not IMO. if you want something a little different get a 6le spoiler, very few people actually have them.

If you see my post up there^ and read the threads I linked I am planning to use an rs 3 piece so it isn't that big. That was a photoshop someone did to get a rough idea of what it would look like with a freedom style wing. It would look better smaller and stickin out further as bob said. I still plan on finishing it though!

just one of his SS spoilers because the way he makes them you can either get one with or with out the brake light and then the lip on the curve at the edge is a little higher than what they come from the factory. i didnt mean to say that he makes a spoiler like that i was just stating if you wanted something "different" then that is an option.

Now this kinda thread revival I like!

I guess the best way to do it is glass something that matches the lines of ss spoiler and keep raising it until you are happy with it.

I seem a lot people use what's nicknamed the ducktail spoiler on top of the v6/z28 spoiler.
