Re: 96 ss spoiler opinions?

I say go for it, then sell me your Lt-1 spoiler!!!!

seriously, I call dibs if you are willing to sell it

anyways, I have always prefered the subtle looks of the 96-97 ss over the more aggresive look of the 98+'s. I just like the look of the low-rise because to the un-trained eye, it looks just like the stock spoiler.

I agree. Understated good looks, and it's more subtle than the spoiler EVERYONE has on their car. (98+ SS)

Re: 96 ss spoiler opinions?

thats cool i trall;y thought people would say no because it wouldn't be right since it was only on the 98 and up. Anyone know where i can get a good deal on one? i have seen them for $225 plus shipping on ebay

Re: 96 ss spoiler opinions?

Why is the 96-97 SS spoiler so much more $ than the 98+ spoiler? I've always liked the 96-97 SS spoiler but don't want to pay so much $ for it!

The posts in the middle, the 3rd brake light is LED on the 98+, and the spoiler has a more dramatic rake on the 98+, for a little bit more downforce (also known as drag)

I, too, like the subtleness of the 96-97 spoiler:

Re: 96 ss spoiler opinions?

yeah the 96-97 is nice and subtle, but the 98+ SS spoiler is hands down the absolute best spoiler for the vehicle, barring none.

Re: 96 ss spoiler opinions?

SS spoiler isn't the same as putting on an SS hood. It just really, really looks better. If they made another spoiler that was worth anything then i'd spring on it but to tell you the truth they haven't made a better one since the OEM.

On the other hand people that put on the SS hood just want the SS hood. Lets face it, it isn't the world's most functional design.
