Why does everyone screem GTA when they hear about the wraparound? It originated on the standard T/A in 85, the only difference in the 87-90 version was that there was a third brake light.

the 91-92 is a whole different design, but still a wrap around.

the T/A and GTA had the same spoilers Just had to point out that the spoiler was on both, not just the GTA, actually its used on the Formula as well (which also re-begun in 87)
