Coupla things !!!!
first---the RPO D80 rear spoiler for 1970 Camaro is the low version-- unless you have either a COPO 9796 car or one of a very few cars built in late spring for racers

second ----COPO 9796 rear spoilers are the 3 piece high spoilers as used on 1971 cars

third ---the COPO 9796 spoiler used the inside Firebird piece with SPECIAL end pieces fabricated to fit the Camaro

fourth ---for 1971 until the supply of low spoilers was used up some 71 cars may have been equipped with 70 spoilers but most were equipped with the new high spoiler when RPO D80 was selected
fifth----using the low profile spoiler actually increases lift at the rear of the vehicle (like 120 pounds) VS. about 280 pounds of down force on the high profile spoiler
