Do you guys think this spoiler is too "tacky"??? - Page 3 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I am not a fan of that wing you like that extends to the front of the hatch. I dont mind tony davila's wing because it goes with the hood and the 4 cowl slots. It is your car and do what you like to it. It only has to please you.

Here's AAFC's rear:

IMO The C4 is such a clean design, really nice lines, without all the overwrought styling that so many companies spit out. It's very cohesive on its own, and is compact, solid, all-of-a-piece. Most add-ons look just like that - added on. I don't like them because anything tacked on just disrupts the design's solidity. The only update I personally like is the Lingenfelter aerobody which is beautifully done and maintains that solidity while adding some aggression...but even that one looks a little heavy from the side and is best in black.

I once saw a custom lip spoiler across the back of a regular coupe that looked good, but the larger ones not so much. Unless you can demonstrate a quantifiable aerodynamic function, I would pass.

Reminds me of the wings on the firebirds in the 80s. Your car do as you wish AL. I however dont like it

This is a spoiler off of a firebird that was modified to fit this 84.
The car belonged to a friend of mine who past away and I bought it from the estate just because it was his. I couldn't bring myself to take it off so I used it for my, go to work car for years.
I still have the car it is my bad weather ride.
I wasn't that crazy about the spoiler then, or now.

it's a local car to me, I almost set it on fire at a car show last year

The only rear spoiler I would consider installing was the one which attached to the rear hatch glass and was very similar to the one found on the Dodge VR TT.

I actually thought of you when I posted that. I was thinking, "Tony's gonna bust my balls when he sees this."

Maybe because it's black or maybe just knowing your car is "Frank approved" helps.

I do love your car, tho, Tony and have borrowed several of your ideas. The wing just won't work in AB!
