Default hatch wing

Do they make a wing that goes on the back hatch window up at the top. I know they make them from mustangs.

He's talking about either a solar panel or window louvers. Yes they make both of them. You'll have to use google to find them though.

...It is called a 'SOLAR WING' and RK Sport sells them for around 100 bucks. It is black smoked plexiglass and attached at the top of rear glass with 3M Tape that comes with it.

it helps a little bit when u have a bigger cowl induction hood. my buddie has a 5" cowl hood and then this thing, and then the ss wing in the back. before he put the solar wing on, the car felt so unstable and felt like it was off the ground. now its better, but it looks like **** lol. its soley for road racing in my opinion

Hey guys sorry for the late response i was on vacation... i don't have a picture of it on my car i never mounted it... i would probably try and set it on the car, but i don't want to waste the tape and pull it back off.

"Chrysler kid" i think your referring to rain guards. i have never seen them for our cars, generally there harder to find for cars that don't have a frame over the top of the window... especially useless for vehicles that came with ttops, so they prolly never made them.

They DO make them, and they're called "Vent Visors" among other names. I made a topic on these a few weeks ago. The community pretty much thinks they're ugly and tasteless on F-bodies, but cool on trucks/SUVs. The infamous "pink and purple 93-97 V6 Camaro with WS6 style hood and Zebra interior" has them.

Is there a cowpasture around here?

Because I smell some bullshit.



But seriously, there is no way in hell that would help in aerodynamics much less would you be able to feel anything. Your friend is full of it


If it added a 10 more mph trap speed I still wouldn't buy it.
