Rear spoiler ???
Trying to deside on a rear spoiler for my 67 vert. I have a 69 TA hood and 2nd gen fender extractors. The wings out there that "fit" the 67/8's seem to be garbage based on reviews I see. Any thougts on a "different" rear spoiler ???

I like the Camaro spoiler, but not sure how it would stack up with your car.

I've always liked the Anvil Auto notched spoiler.

Thanks. Nice spoilers. Need to decide between the glossy carbon or paint the fiberglass model. Car will be a bright metalic blue. Probably do the glass and paint to match. But still keep my eye out. Wonder if there is enough room for the "PONTIAC" letters and engine size emblem. Or just leave it blank.

Not sure where the engine size emblem would go with a spoiler, since it covers the area of the trunk lid where that's typically added. If you had somebody good with an air-brush around you, you could always have a look-a-like emblem painted on the spoiler.

I test fit a 3rd gen spoiler on a spare trunk lid and it fit surprisingly well. Because the rear on the first gen has a sharp downward curve at the very tail, you have to mount it slightly forward, so the stands stay flush to the lid. But it looked good (the gap from wing tip to quarter panel line was consistent) and the width (on a '68) was perfect.
The only thing I wasn't sure about was the angle. Since the 3rd gen trunk is more horizontal to ground and ours rakes down, it places the top of the wing at a downward angle. Was hoping to do some highway runs with and without to see if affected down force but other projects took precedence. Unfortunately I lost the pics, but here's the type I'm talking about:
