I think, Screw the Tuners!

If you like it, it's your car, bolt the darn thing up and enjoy it.

Only you know if it is for you. I personally think it would perform better than the stocker, and it's got a raw, "Performance First" look to it.

Changes: Sort out the "Adjustable arms in the rear so they are perpendicular to the road like the ones you see on the track. Plus you might really want to adjust them. I don't see much adjustability to this design.

All that said, I bought one for my car and it will be on it.

hmm my bad fella's, I was not saying it looked tunerish. I was trying to say I liked it on his car, and like most cool things the bolt on anything advance auto sales crowd around here were shifting from the bookshelf spoiler to "homemade hinge & sheetmetal" spoilers.

There is actually a ton of adjustability in the spoiler angle - although you have to change the length of the adjuster arms. The arms that we have on there right now are nearly fully "compressed" because this is where we are running for the time being and I didn't want a bunch of threads hanging sticking out. I can easily adjust the spoiler (as is, with these struts) to a more aggressive angle but don't feel that it's needed. By simply changing out the struts to 1" shorter version (or more) we can lay the spoiler down a bunch (it's actually surprising how adjustable it really is) but that's not a change I want to make randomly. One day (maybe this year) we'll take a day at the track and play with spoiler angles - first for speed and second for downforce. My personal opinon is that it's set up probably too agressively for mile shootouts and the Silver State Classic but I can't complain about how the car feels.

With respect to spoilers like this in general - do what you want for your car. Only you know what you want to get out of it and what you're going to be happy with.

On your car it looks right at home James and is obviously quite functional @ 160+ MPH,on a street-driven Camaro not so much and really clashes with the lines of the car,IMHO.

For a Camaro,it's hard to improve upon perfection with the factory spoiler but if I decided I wanted to do something different,I'd consider fabbing either a taller version based on the original or one that was more laid back that matched the contours of the car.

I painted the edge of my decklid just to make the spoiler appear taller,I know it wasn't done this way at the factory but I don't care,it's my car and that's how I like it.

I say yes but go with a carbon...

As I understand aerodynamics, those supports are located on the wrong side but don't quote me on it. At 170mph I don't feel like finding out.

no Dane you are correct... its not the "right" way, Tyler just did it that way so he could use the previous holes from the factory style spoiler so he didn't have some unsightly holes on his deck lid.
