Default RST wing?

Would a RST wing fit on an Avalanche to replace the tailgate cap, or would the side boxes interfere? Any thoughts on how it would look.

I had an 07 Avalanche and could not imagine putting a wing on it. Wings are for race cars not trucks. Just my opinion though if you like it rock it.

I do think the side compartments would hit it though when you go to open them

No it shouldt fit i believe the Avy's are a lil wider than the silverado, if it did fit you wouldhave to let the gate down eachtime you wanted in the side conpartments

RST wings are very different than what you are thinking, very subtle a lot of people have em here. I like RST wings but as far as an Avy I think it wouldn't match right even if it would fit. You could always just shave it and get rid of ray plastic piece

Just googled it and have to say sorry..... I jumped the gun and when I heard wing I thought of something like this.



The RST wing looks very nice. (not sure who's truck this is but it was in google search and belongs to this site.)

No offense taken. I would call what I'm looking at more of a lip spoiler, but for some reason RST decided to call theirs a wing.

It reminds me of the rear bumper of some of the older Vettes.

Did you ever find a wing for your Avy?
I'm wanting a RST style wing for my 03, and think I could make it work ~ if I can find a reasonably priced one.

Let me know,
Tony
