I searched and didn't find anything on the topic. Just found Wrap around IMSA spoiler etc....

I drive a G35 Coupe for a DD right now and I just have installed a rear 2003 spoiler on it that i think would look good on the Notch back and I think I'm gonna see what it will do for it. See how it works.
Here is what I'm talking about.

A lot of people put the factory Fiero spoiler on to give it the Formula look. I have seen Saleen spoilers used as well as firebird spoilers.

There are alot fo favorites people use, mustang spiolers, etc.
I don't think that one will work, because the Fiero decklid is flat.
You'll need one that is flat, or has stands that come down to a flat surface.

The mounting surface is flat on the bottom.

Third gen F-body spoilers are common.

I used a mid-90s Mustang spoiler on my previous Fiero.



I also think the Subaru WRX "low-rise wing" spoiler would look pretty cool on a Fiero.

This one is from what I believe is an earlier model Camry. Looks good on the fastback, but I don't know how it'd look on a Notchback. On the fastback, the mounting holes had to be located right in the sealing surface for the trunk seal but it didn't cause any leaks. It also needed a thick rubber gasket to raise it high enough that the ends didn't sit against the body. May not be a problem with the Notchback since the fender contour is different.

Here is mine from an 80s Dodge Daytona found in a junkyard. It actually hangs off the rear of the decklid some and fits perfectly on the notch of the decklid, its also much smaller than a stock wing and I think it fits the car very well.





A couple pics of it with the old paint job, you can really see the profile of it here.

In my post above, I said that was a Camry spoiler. I meant to say Corolla spoiler.

If your car is a notch back, you can install a spoiler from a Dodge Shadow. Almost a perfect fit. Here is an address to see the installation. Scroll down to the yellow coupe.

The black one belongs to my brother, the blue one's gone, I sold the red GT to TheDon last month, but I've got a yellow one stored at ThaDriver's that will be joining this flock/herd soon.

Using the '82-'92 Firebird spoiler doesn't actually do anything for a Fiero, other than look like a spoiler. It looks half-assed. Not wrong, or out of place, but like whoever left it on there really wasn't trying to accomplish much. I took mine back off. BTW, mine's a notchie.

Not paint yet, but Dodge Shadow spoiler. There are a few others on here that have them painted.

I modified this wing -I think it came off a grand am?-, but I think I'm now going to go with no wing at all whereas I'm doign a F-430-esh rear with vette style tail lights. If so I may sell the wing.
