Spoiler on a non spoiler car

[greeneyegi]

I've been wanting a spoiler on my car forever. If you were to put a spoiler on a non spoiler car would you use
an original 5 piece or are the aftermarket ones cool?
Im not trying to be cheap,just dont want to waste money.
Any pics of a spoiler non car would be appreciated.

I put one on mine
I used the one from g body parts and mounted to a fiberglass deck lid and couldn’t be happier

I have a Limited that the previous owner had a GN spoiler installed on the back.

Kinda wish he hadn't done that.

I have a 87 T someone also installed a factory rear spoiler I actually prefer the car without the spoiler

Might look better with stock tips?
Mines is close in color also

I just bought the car it was sitting 15 years I has a bunch of old school parts and yes the exhaust is getting replaced ! And probably going to remove the spoiler weld the holes up and repaint the whole car

I'm in the no spoiler crowd. But keep in mind, a couple of things do change that. The power level and intentions for the car? At a certain point you're gonna need a spoiler for downforce.

use double side tape. it will work. then no holes an can be removed.

I think the factory spoiler is just for looks.

Regerts is what you get, if you don't eat a Snickers, while installing the spoiler...

A friend has a 2/3 scale hydroplane boat. His top speed is about 130 mph and doesn't have the horizontal section of the spoiler /wing as there is no benefit below 150 mph, just added weight.

It seems the rear spoilers were available as an option in '87 but not in '86.

I have an 87 T without the spoiler. My experience is the only person who would notice the spoiler is you. Everyone else does not notice it at all. I recommend using the double stick tape and enjoy the look of your car as you like it.

Personally I think the Ts look better without them (other than the WH1 which came with the spoiler). I think Spoolfool makes a one piece version of the original spoiler and would be a simpler install. It is just for looks, no rear aero benefit to them. Have seen one or two custom spoilers built off of the original, like Detroit Dick's GNX2.

Looks wise it did a lot for my car

That inch or 2 lip off the deck lid really does a lot for ass end appearance

I believe thats is from a Trans Am.. Think I have some in my attic from way back.

Yup, there was one of those on a friend of mine's low mile GN when he bought it. Everyone hated it. He finally got rid of it and went to the stock one.

I wanted to set my white T off from the crowd, and the Spoolfool spoiler was my choice!
