I read the title of the post and expected to see a big *** ricer top fuel type wing cause it says "Got the wing on..." Those look like an retarded ugly dogs *** on ANY car and the people who do that should be beaten with a board that has a couple of nails sticking out the end of it.

This however looks pretty good. I personally wouldn't put it on my car cause its just not my style at all, but it looks good in a different way. As others have said, sort of like the Sunoco Camaro or a road racer type look. It looks good as a mod that isn't done alot and might even look better molded in to the factory spoiler instead of the added on look.

Tasteful and well done without being overdone IMO

I agree that it should be moulded in, it looks like a add on. it does look functional though, and that is what really differentiates us from ricers is function to go along with form

I like it. My first choice if I had a Z28 would be the newer SLP ultra Z spoiler, then yours. I would definitely look into getting it molded though. I'm also not a fan of people putting SS accessories on their Z's, guess I'm just a biased SS owner... I also agree a new hood would complement it nicely...

When I saw the Title "Got the wing on...Haters need not apply." I was expecting to see one of those, just looked like a bi plane landed on the back of your car thing. That one looks good. 2nd gen look. If I was going to put one on it would be that one.

It looks good, but it concerns me to have it sitting on top of the already strutless z28 spoiler. I wonder if there is someway to remove the Z spoiler, and get that one in seamlessly in its place. Would likely require custom fabrication, but someone said it reminds them of the Monte, I agree, and I think those are the BEST spoilers for being most functional, and also good looking. that thing will definetely keep your *** end on the ground. also chalk up one more vote for a new sunoco hood.
