That wing is crazy. I don't like it at all. I think it'd be bareable if it matched the bodylines better; had squared up side wing things and was wider overall.
Nice looking car, otherwise.

It makes it look like you riced your car, the spoiler.
I'd say kill it, or I'll kill you
But whatever sinks your canoe.

Not sure about the spoiler, I know I know. But what can you do. Maybe when i get a new paint job i'll find an original spoiler to throw on there.

I think the car looks very clean. And that some people on the boards need to diversify a bit. Not stock does not = bad. The spoiler is painted, matches the body well, and hell it looks a lot like the 91-92 spoiler to me, just the ends don't quite touch the hatch. But hey, what do I know.
Good looking car man, with or without the spoiler.
My only suggestion would be a slighter larger wheel (those aren't 16", right?) perhaps a 16" GTA wheel in black or tan, or a clean aftermarket 17" would set the car off beautifully.

Nice car, ugly spoiler. 
Grab a high-rise wing from a 91-92 Z28...even though they are big, they look awesome on thirdgens.

I actaully like the wing. I'd say keep it. It's not a huge wing, and again, it's not subtle at all. But its cool.
The rest of the car is very nice man. I've always had a love of the trans am hoods!

dont get rid of the wing dude! too many people on here "mod" their cars with stock parts and then think it somehow stands out from the rest. its refreshing to see someone do something different for a chance.
plus i think the wing looks good too.

Do you have a rear shot? Does it go all the way to the sides of the quarterpanels?

I've seen your car around campus. Actually the wing looks a little better in person, although I'm not the biggest fan of it.

Got ignorance?
Nice car. Clean and straight, but like everyone else has stated, lose the wing.... maybe replace it with a simple deck lid spoiler off a base firebird, they can be had at a good price and it will flow with the body lines. Keep up the good work........

) when there's nothing wrong with his choice.EDIT: I just get frustrated/irritated with close-minded people. It's the whole, "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" type thing. Someone posting pictures of their car for the first time doesn't need childish uncle ben's comments. But thats just me.

I go back and forth about that particular spoiler...like it, don't like it! Just can't decide. Can't really tell how it sits on your car at that angle! Overall I think you have a nice car there!
There is nothing wrong with going against the norm! Keeps things fresh around here!
