Rear Spoiler
I'm getting a rear spoiler for my camaro. I currently have a fiberglass deck lid.
Any reason why I can't just bolt the spoiler and deck lid together?

Re: Rear Spoiler
Quite a few of the 1st Gen Camaro's with spoilers I've seen put them below the rear deck and attach them to the body, not the deck lid. That way you can just pull the deck lid without having to undo all the spoiler strut rods.

Re: Rear Spoiler
John, I think your thinking of a wing, the spoiler I'm getting is the factory type.
Chris, I'm not getting too excited.......but a win is a win, right? At this point, we'll take anything.....

Re: Rear Spoiler
Not going to use a store bought one for mine, although I might buy a few pieces here and there most of it will be home built.

Re: Rear Spoiler
Hey Rob,
I didn't even notice you replied, I didn't get a message stating so.
Did you take any extra measures mounting it on or did you just drill the holes and bolt is on?
I was thinking about using some sealer around the holes to keep the water from weeping in, whenever
I wash the car.
Thanks
Bruce

Re: Rear Spoiler
i just put new screws and washers now is your deck lid one of the single layer really thin lids if so use 2 peices of thin metal strap one for the front row of screws and one for back row and run the bolts through it and you all good to go i hope that makes sense

Re: Rear Spoiler
Mine is made by Harwood but I like your idea. I have some 040" alum lying around I can use for the strips. If that doesn't hood, I can get some 18ga metal at work.
Thanks for the idea.
