Yes or No ?????????

Waiting for my cowl hood scoop to arrive so I can send the Bird to paint. Trying to get everything together and organized. Had this in the garage, can't remember what it's from but thought I'd throw it out for opinions.
Not sure how I feel about it yet. I know a lot of guys don't like spoilers but with a 3" cowl I thought the back might need something.
Thanks

I'd say no, if not for any other reason that it's too small (narrow) for the car

My vote is no due to it beig way too narrow.  If it were wider then I would say "yes".

I think if it was alittle wider it would be perfect.


I was thinking the same thing... It needs to be wider. Where's that Lime Green Bird that hangs around here... He has the perfect spoiler and painted black. It looks light and airy, especially contrasting in black paint. That spoiler seem to be like the ones that were commonly equipped on 1982-93 generation Firebirds but they were also available as an aftermarket add-on for just about any vehicle. I am funny about spoiler proportions and that is the only one that seems to look right on our Birds and Cats.

Thanks everyone. The search is on for a wider one. I have to agree Watchdevil, that lime green Bird's wing is sized just right.
