I like the look of birds without spoilers. Someday when I can afford to have my IROC and a Trans Am, I'm taking the spoiler off. Keep it without it, looks nice.

I want a 91-92 wrap around or a 85-90 one. I have a set of Trans Am Grid taillights from an 85 im putting on the car.

yea its final. i am gonna fill in the holes and leave the wing off. i think it looks awsome. and plus thats 400 bucks i can spend on sumtin else like gears lol
$450 for a spoiler? Have you been to the junkyrad yet? I paid $60 for an 89 IROC spoiler for my camaro there, vs. $260 for a new one. Or look for guys parting out cars. I cannot honestly beleive $450 for a new one when I got an entire trans am for $250.
Yes a new aero wing is $450, I didnt want to spend the money so i got a whole piece off of a 91 firebird, and am putting it on my formula, it doesnt look bad, its just the stock wing...

Certain angles look good without the spoiler. I didn't have mine on for a while.



Wheels and tires make the look, in my opinion.

What about the firebird spoiler? I guess Ebay doesn't have one for sell either. It does look different. But only because everybody has one.
If i were you, i'd probly just go to a junkyard and get one of those flat ones,cause they're real cheap. But, if you want to leave it off, go to the junkyard and get a trans am rear bumper w/ out gfx. Those bumperettes in the rear bumper of the firebird make a spoilerless bird look weird.
