1990 Wing - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Jim Jones · 08-24-2005

I've seen some vettes with wings, and well, I'm not a fan. Some don't look too bad, I admit, but overall, not for me.

I don't know what the 49th Street skirts look like, but if they are anything like the Greenwood package, again, I'll pass. To me those add-ons are great if the car is used for racing and it's part of the whole downforce package. But adding those to street cars just reminds me of the Nascar fanatics out there that paint their street car to look like their favorite driver's car. There is something about a Dupont Geo Metro that just isn't right.

Just my .02 though. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Good luck in the decision and post some pics after all a vette is a vette!

Why not look for something that you can change the rear bummper cover to with a molded type flair..at least you could go back stock if you wanted.

I have a mold for one that I made that looks like a exaggerated callaway type spoiler. It looks great but it will require a lot of work to make it perfect but from what I understand all fiberglass needs a lot of work. For $300 Ill make one. Is that fair for the material, my time and my itchy hands?

Could you e-mail pics of what type/style of wing??? Thanks

zr11990broken · 08-25-2005

I honestly wish I could but I could but I lost my digicam and I dont have one made. I tried to make it look as much like a callaway if the callaway rear spoiler were add on. Think of it kind of like the bolt on rear spoiler on the 2nd gen trans ams only fitting smoothly into a c4 rear clip. Tell you what 175 Ill make one and send it to you cod for shipping ( iff there is any diff you send it to me Ill show you all recipts) if you will post pics of it before and after install. I promise you will like it IF YOU LIKE THE CALLAWAY

Do you mean that huge Callaway LeMans spoiler? Otherwise, on the aerobody it was just a ducktail type spoiler but integrated, a raised edge on the back. Sort of like the ZR-1 already has, but slightly more pronounced.

Do you have picts of the Callaway spoiler you mean?

I am talking about the callaway aerobody ducktail type spoiler. I mada it taller and it follows the curve of the rear of the bumper cover. No I cant send a pic cuz I dont have a digicam, I lost it. Ill make it it anyone wants one Ill make it, all I want is the price it will cost me, it looks lots better than a wing.

bobbyhi · 08-26-2005

I will have to look at the Callaway web site tonight and see what it looks like.
Thanks........

Here's a picture from http://www.callawayownersgroup.com

Do you replace the bumper cover with yours, or add onto it?
