I love how they left the side pieces of the original 3-pc spoiler in place. It's been a long time since I've seen one of those aluminum (stainless?) bands around the roof. Thank G0D.

You may think I'm crazy but I want it. Ok I have the factory louvers but they are crap and they don't work with my warp around. Even though those arn't the best louvers they work with a wrap around. I want to see more pics.

Yep... and then, whoever buys it, puts it on a (their) 3rdgen, posts pics of their 'Ebay find' on the internet somewhere, someone with a lack of better things to do finds said pictures of it, posts them here and this post starts over, but it's just on a different car.. ad infium

You are right it does. Hmm... there is an idea, build a replica of the Buffalo, oh wait I don't really like the front of a buffalo, oh well.

Look better with out the louvers perhaps and with a camaro it need the 3 peice spoiler, firebird need a wrap around.

The ugliest thing about it though is the metal trim around the roof, who thought this up?
