4th gen spoiler on 3rd gen??

i know they make the 4th gen style trans am spoiler for a 3rd gen firebird, but is this an origonal 4th gen spoiler or is it a reproduction made to fit on a 3rd gen? one of my friends is getting rid of his off of his '01 trans am and i needed to know if it will work.

I'm pretty sure the 4th gen spoilers can be swapped over with a little tinkering.

The question though is... do 4th gen Camaro spoilers fit 3rd gens? I've never seen that before.

Look up Sonar_un he put a 4th gen spoiler onto his Firebird. And do the fourth gen Camaro's Have spoilers? I thought they were molded into the body. Either way, they don't look good on the fourth gens, I doubt they will on the 3rd gens.

Hawks' ThirdGenParts and other companies make 4th gen styled spoilers made for thirdgens. Original 4th gen t/a spoiler requires you to add a couple inches of fiberglass or something to the middle supports.
