I gave the guy I ordered it from, the part # from classic industries, but it looks like he ordered it from musclecarindustries.com. and the holes don't seem to be lining up. did you have to drill the spoiler to make them line up or, do you think I just have the wrong part?

Is this the one you have -- http://www.rickscamaros.com/exterior-parts-and-trim/spoilers-and-wings/stock-front-spoilers.html

This is the one i have,Most of the holes lined up but i think there was one or two that didn't.The ones that didn't i didn't put in as the ones that fit were spaced evenly enough to hold it,The only holes i drilled were for the end brackets rods where they mounted to the bottom of the front fenders.

this is the one I ordered. http://www.classicindustries.com/firebird/parts/*r371.html its possible that someone changed my lower radiator support and put a 67/68 in. which I guess is basically the same, except for the mounting holes. i'm gonna wait to hear back from classic industries, and if need be, take a drill to the spoiler smirk

I think , but dont recall 100%, that my holes lined up, but if not just drill the plastic....I know for sure that the center bracket/rod needed a hole ,I drilled and tapped , into the frame....here three dirty pictures of my old installation ,yes ,that same Maro spoiler...(BUT it does help keep you front wheel planted on the surface if you drive faster, like over 80, you can tell steering is more firm)...and , yes you DO want those rods/brackets, if yiu want to keep the spoiler on.
