Default Changing a z28 wing for an SS wing??

I have a 94 z28, curious what effort was required to mount the LS style SS wing on an LT style car.

Has anyone made that type of swap?

I don't own a Camaro but from my understanding the LT&LS rear end are almost identical besides the tail lights. I'm sure it's been done countless times.

found a post from another thread just now. looks like mechanically they bolt right up. electrically they need a little fabrication. looking in to this diagram....

I have an ebay ls ss wing on my car and it bolted right up no problem. the wiring was very straight forward, I believe it was just hooking the red to red and black to black. I soldered and shrink sleeved for extra insurance. here it is right after install

Here's a copy/paste of a little writeup I did for it on a different site:

I wired the relay into the spoiler harness so I wouldn't have to cut up the harness in my car, and so if I should ever sell the spoiler, the next Z28 owner won't have to worry about the ABS light!
This is just a write up following shoebox's wiring diagram.

What you will need:
- Wire strippers
- An additional length of wire (I used less than 8")
- 2 spade clips
- Heat shrink (or electrical tape)
- Soldering iron if you want to solder it (always a good idea, however I did not solder this time)
- Automotive relay (I used the one in the fuse box under the hood for the air pump)


Directions:
- First remove the trim on the underside of the rear hatch.
- Pull out the excess wiring to the spoiler so you know how much you have to work with.
- Cut the spoiler harness in the desired location and strip enough insulation off each end of the wires so that you can twist them back together. (pic)
- Cut your extra length of wire in half and strip the insulation off both ends.
- Attach the spade connectors to one end of each of your extra wires. (pic)
- Now slide a length of heat shrink on both wires of the spoiler harness hanging out of the car. (pic)
- Reconnect the part of the spoiler harness that you cut off.
- Now connect your extra wire with the spade clip on it to this same location, making a 'T' with the wires. (pic)
- Slide the heat shrink over your newly made connection, and apply heat to shrink it closed.
- Do the same for the other wire.
- Optional, but I wrapped my relay with some foam padding so it's not clunking around when I go over bumps.
- Now attach the spade clip from the red wire in the harness to the spot on the relay labeled 86.
- Attach the spade clip from the black wire in the harness to the spot on the relay labeled 85.
- Reconnect the spoiler harness to the car harness.
- Start your car and make sure the ABS light is off.
- Tuck the relay and additional wiring back up into the spoiler (pic)
- Reinstall your hatch trim and you're done!
