I recently bought a 1978 Tech Bulletin binder, there's slot of Bulletens ion the Y88, mY84's, and WS6 in there. It also has one bulletin just for the part #'s of the decals, I suggest anyone into these cars and for any other 1978 pick one up. I recently put this binder on a CD. Pm me if your interested. Also in the 1978 Sales edition Dealer Album there are more bulletins on the Y88. You can meet me for a Beer at Duggans up on Woodward and look at all of my literature, lol
BTW, I own a low mile Y88 I bough back in 1979, it's been with me all these years.

I removed the original rear wheel spoilers some time ago from my Y88 project. Decided that since I was re-doing the rear spoilers for my '71, I might as well get these prepped and primed so when the car finally makes it to the shop, at least one thing is ready to go! Both needed repair, and on the one, the entire top section was broken off. The black on each one is the repaired area. I used the DA today and removed all the original paint. These are likely original to the car as they are molded in a gold color plastic. I thought that Pontiac only used wheel spoilers molded in color on the early cars. It appears I was wrong.

I can tell you from personal experience 1978 TA Spoilers were molded in colors matching paint...and you could go to dealer and order factory color molded, painted w matching color welding staple attached wheel spoilers.

In fact, Year One, Ames, etc. used to sell the OEMs too...

I've kept the various parts and pieces of Martinique Blue ABS spoilers, cause they ain't making them like that "no mo" and let's remember the center front spoilers, rear deck spoilers, etc. we're molded same...and IIRC the trunk center spoilers have "General Tire" logo moulded inside of them - yes?
