Just my opinion-----but that looks like S^$T....... I guess if yer into the whole import rice-grinder look it cool but YUK!!!!!

Diggler86

are you talking about the fiberglass 'aero-wing' spoiler?

if so i have one and highly recommend. got mine from classic industries mostly because they are local to me so no shipping costs.

Maybe Hawk's 5" spoiler?

Diggler86

not likely since he has a TA.

transam84

that is def not it. I am talking about the whale tail type of spoiler that came stock on my 86 Trans Am,simliar to the 91-92 style spoilers, not the pedistal type like on the 82-84 Trans Am's.the factory spoiler is heavy as hell and I want to replace it with the fiberglass ones that I have heard of. I still want everything to look stock (without the weight) so no rice'r spoiler for this guy.

Diggler86

you are talking about the aero wing.

Like mine? Mine's fiberglass, but stock style.

transam84

yes just like yours except not with the 3rd brake light mounted under it.

Stephen

The 4th gen style ones, are a little bigger, andhave a 3rd brake light, inset into the wing, instead of under it.

Mine is a duplicate of the original, but in fiberglass. Nothing says you HAVE to put the 3rd brake light housing under it.

Ok, just so you know, the pic that I posted is what is known as a 'whale tail'. Not my cup-o-tea either just trying to help out.

The more you know... :insert cute NBC PSA music here:

If you don't have a third brake light there to begin with then there won't be one there when you mount the spoiler.

If you look at the ads on the top right of the page, (in the column next to the posts) you'll see an animated ad for an outfit called RamairHood.com. It shows that they sell the fiberglass GTA rear deck spoiler. (Although if you click on the link nothing is listed)

You might have trouble getting a non brake light spoiler since they weren't that common. I know that's not good for the 1986 models with the high mounted brake light.....

This is the spoiler that i have.
I purchased it in 1993.
Motion Glass.
I would have to dig around for a phone number if they are still around.

I want the spoiler on my car to look 100% stock, so that spoiler is not what I am looking for. thanks anyway.

ya your looking for the stock 86 t/a spoiler like mine im trying to find 1 2...heres a pic of mine......no third brake light on the wing....i took mine off my hatch didnt like it

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

Shouldn't a 86 have the 3rd brake light, on the outside of the glass though? Is your hatch stock?

transam84

he did the same thing I did and swapped out the rear hatch glass for one that doesn't have the brake light mounted on it.
