Re: Possible Spoiler Change
No offense or nothing, but that spoiler is kinda ugly. I have a 3" spoiler in primer that I will sell ya if you deicde to go for it. But the 3" spoiler is definately my vote.

But it'd be easier to convert the 3rd brakelight to LED than to have to cut the pillars off and then refiberglass. The flip being higher is a bigger difference tho.

I don't see how it would be any easier to convert the the 96-97. You'd have to cut off the "bubble" that holds the stock brake light. Then you'd have to glass and smooth that back in. Then you'd have to cut and mount the LED light. Doesn't sound any easier to me.

Unscrew the 3rd brake light's housing, remove the bulbs, and then rig up a circuit board with some 15 or so LEDs (which really is not hard, people do it for their map and dome lights), wire straight to wiring that the bulb used, screw housing back in... Not that hard

. If i was going to get another spoiler i would want one with a higher flip and the smooth look of the 98+SS LED.

Re: Possible Spoiler Change
lol wow that Z29R emblem on that mechem pic is the riciest thing i've ever seen. 
Spoiler doesn't look horrible, but it's kind of a cross between a Z28 spoiler and a bent Z28 spoiler.
98+ SS spoiler is the best one you can get, freedom doesn't look bad either, but it isn't my first choice.
