98+ SS or RS 3" or RS 5" like John has I believe (correct me if I am wrong Silas).

But will that big RS spoiler actually slow me down due to more drag? But the look of it is growing on me.



Thanks,
Jeff

Well, put my vote down for the SS. That would look sweet. You don't want it to look like an RS, with that glue on spoiler. Just my $.02

About your stripes... did you do them yourself? And, if you did, how did you fit them over those heat extracters on the hood?

2 for SS


I had the stripes done at a body shop. I didnt trust myself to do them on my own. They are real GM F-1 stripes right out of the GMPP catalog. They used to look alot better but now I have chips on them from road debris and the like. Hell I need to get the car painted.

Personally, I like the LG spoiler like John has.. You don't see many with it, especially over here. I think he's the only one with it actually.. Good luck! ;) It won't really slow you down, but it will improve downforce..

That's right Jack it sure will help down force! Noticed it big time and I'm truly comfortable doing 170+ now w/out a problem. LG unit Jeff 225.00 easy install and all the mounting points are hidden. Drilling required but minimal. Don't get it. I like being the only one ha-ha LOL J/K. :)

get the rksport sport wing, it looks good and its a sweet deal for the price, i think youd be paying too much to glue on three peices of fiberglass to your car. But thumbs up for the 98 and up SS style spoiler, those look tight but theyre pricy!
