Anyone have a spoiler-less Firebird?

Oi! So I'm finally startin to get some work done on my car. I'm buying a parts car off Kevman, from the forums. His car is an '83 spoiler-less Bird. I'd like to put his hatch on my car, but I'm not sure what it would look like. I've seen Birds with GFX and without spoilers, and I think they look wicked, but my car is just a base Firebird without GFX. I've searched high and low for pics, and can't find any. Can someone please post any pics of non-GFX Birds without spoilers?

Thanks.

I'll post some pics of the process soon.

a bird without a wing cannot fly, simply put leave your spoiler on

The spoiler on my car is purely for looks, and I like the look of a spoiler-less bird, BUT the only birds I have seen without one have had GFX. I'd like to see a pic of a non-GFX bird without a spoiler.

This is mine when before I put on the 4th gen, it has the ground effects but that is an idea. my personal opinion is put a wing on it.

I like it because it seems to flow better without a spoiler in my eyes, and I personally haven't seen too many non-spoiler Birds.

BTW Did you have your car repainted? Mine is the stock red, and I'm havin it repainted red, and I'm diggin the shade you have. If it was repainted, would you happen to know the paint code? Your car looks sharp.

I think it was DBU4341 but I am not sure. That is just me pulling a number out of my head. I will see if i can find anywhere that i wrote it down.

Thanks for the pics guys. I'm gonna go with the spoiler-less hatch. Thanks Wayfast84 also. My car looks the same except its red, and it even has the same chrome trim around the window too (which I'm about to get rid of). But your car is so bad@$$ without a spoiler.
If anyone else has any other pics I'd still like to check them out.
