True which is why I bought it as well... I intended to have it made into a three-piece spoiler when I bought it though.

My friend who is a body guy (Chris, aka: Whistler who Targa topped his Camaro) said to buy the cheaper one (LM as opposed to G2) thinking it would be made of fiberglass...

It's not. It's the exact same material (polyurethane I believe) as the more expensive G2 spoiler (from LG Motorsports). Great for most people but bad for me because we were hoping it was out of a cheaper fiberglass and could be cut apart and shaped easily...

Since it wasn't I just stuck it on as is (since I did love it on my LT1 car) but just didn't like it this go around...

I have the 1-piece freedom spoiler.. Although its not on the car yet but when I layed it on there it looked good.. And for the same reason others got the 1-piece is because its not as high as the RKSport 3-piece..

Don't get me wrong.. I do like the LS1 SS spoiler, but why make your car look stock? I regret getting a SS hood over another but I still like the look.. So I will have to live with it..

That's hillarious that you said both of those statments (Why go stock... I have an SS hood) in the same paragraph

Who cares whether something was stock or not?!?!? To me the point of modding is making the car look BETTER than it does now... Whether it takes aftermarket or stock parts to do that who cares?!?

Lots of people mod just to be "different" and there are a LOT of Cheesy F-Bodies in the sticky on this board...

ANd the car with the sunoco hood, and SS spoiler...
That Sunoco hood looks unbalanced with the short SS spoiler, needs the Sunoco style spoiler to balance the rear to the front

Everyone will tell you to make your car look like a stock SS but what's the fun in that?

Anyways here's a picture of that spoiler on my car.

Yeah.. I also said that I regret getting the SS hood.. If I could go back I wouldnt get the SS hood.. BTW I bought the SS hood for my V6.. If I were to get a different hood for my Z I would get the sunoco most likely..

But why not buy an SS if your just gonna get a Z and put SS parts on it?

Because it's a lot cheaper to get a Z and put SS BODY parts on it and BETTER suspension parts...

I'm looking for either the 3" or 5" spoiler but cannot decide between the two. Does anyon have a side shot of their car (similar to projectcamaro's) however with the 5" Sunoco style spoiler? Mostly I just see rear view shots. Thanks

Remember if you get the RK Sport 3-piece spoiler you will need to drill into the rear quarters to bolt them to the car. Now you should be able to opt of 3M bouble sided tape over the bolts just make sure you use enought 3M tape and make it even.
