Had anyone every installed a lip spoiler (as seen on archies more recent work) on a notchie? I saw a picture where amida pit a 355 spoiler on his notchie just to check it out and it looked great..(from what i remember
) anyway I'm thinking I may do it on my car but just wanted to see if there were any that had already been done.

Yeah, I like a lip spoiler a whole lot more than a wing. A wing seems so, so... 80's.

Ironic since most Fiero lip spoilers are from 80's Camaros?

And the Fiero is from the '80s

I suppose some styles transcend time better than others... and I have a '78 Z28 Camaro, so I like the lip.
I'll be honest, I've never cared for wings at any time on any (unexotic) car. To me they seem a little too bodacious.

I'd love to see Amida's car finished!

K-Z, the IMSA spoiler is not exactly what you asked for, but its close.
Just an idea. Here is my fiero.

Oh, can I show mine to then?
From a 87-94 Dodge Shadow.
Well, it used to be mine before I sold my Fiero.

I am working this up for my car. I don't need the down force, just the factory poncho look.

I'm loving all the pictures guys lets keep em coming! Some of these spoiler usages are really creative (thats what I love about fiero owners, never lacking on creativity) ..what other spoiler solutions have people found? I've just about decided to make my own spoiler but we'll see

What could be "better" than the Duke racing across the tarmac at autocross?
What kind of picture of this spoiler are you interested in?
I like this Lumina spoiler because it's very subtle. It's not nearly as large as the IMSA style spoiler, and I've never liked wings.

Took me awhile to find these images. They were taken at the first club meeting I took my '84 to when I finally got the 5-spd swap done almost exactly three years ago... April 11th, 2010. (That's me in the second image having my picture taken of me taking a picture.)
My plan was to leave the spoiler and top of the decklid black, while painting the area of the decklid
below the spoiler the same color as the body. Three years later and I still haven't done it.
