No offense, but I just had to scrape a little wad of puke off my tongue. There are far better looking wings for the Camaro and Firebird.
Like DopeFed said, Joe Van O has the nicest ones. They actually match the contour. Here's a pic of how it works on a TA that has a smoothed rear hatch (no TA wing). There is a similar style wing that fits the contours of the Camaro hatch, except it fastens directly to the wing. We're putting that style on Tom Kempf's (FSTR-THNU) car. Dave Underwood also has one.

Derty: When I was in the market for a wing I had talked to Stenod about the Joe O products; they had told me they were working on a package deal...something like VFN hatch, plexan, Joe O wing, and all wing bracing. Any word about this package yet?

The upside to all that is Joe Van O takes cash only. Stenod takes your favorite forms of payment, so it can be less of a hassle.
There is a wing at the shop for Tom's Camaro which is a paintable style. The clear coated CF is extra (not necessarily intended for paint).
As far as the package deal with the rear hatch, lexan and wing supports, I'll ask him on that. I know we want to do something special for my car. So I'll bring it up and see if that's something he can whip together as a package deal. I'll talk to him about it today, so hopefully you can hear something back from Stenod or I this weekend.

That stuff looks great.
is there a way of getting that Camaro wing without having the ridge come down as far as it does on the sides? i love the way the one on the black car Derty posted. Just don't like Dave's version that basically covers up the rear lights

With a Camaro, the wing is usually attached to the hatch instead. So you unpin the wing supports and pop the hatch up or off. Dave's is attached to the hatch and flips up.

Mike, you're chutes will need to get mounted like this. The vacuum caused by the pressure differential coming off the top of the wicker might not be too kind on your chutes if you are using a drone chute. I'd consider putting a launcher on it to make sure you can toss it out the back.

Well thanks for Disliking the look of the rear wing on my car.
You see the wings that you are posting would look just as stupid on say a 9 or in my case an 8 sec car.
I didn't buy or choose this wing anyways it was already on a car that I bought and just transfered it over to my new car.
Thanks for your kind words.
