Spoiler

what years had the regular straight across spoiler? the ones that don't curve around the hatch????? Anyone sell the straight spoiler in the aftermarket, or any cars in the junkyard i can snag one off of that will fit?

im not sure on that but i might be able to narrow it down for you,

The "aero wing" wraparound spoiler came on the Formulas 87-92(but it 91&92 they were a little more rounded off) and they came on the GTAs.

Hope that narrowed it down.

THe flat "wing" spoiler came from 82-84 on all T/A's, (optional for base firebird.
In 85 the optional aero wing appeared, and for 86 was standard for T/A's
87-90 the areo wing stayed with the T/A, GTA & the Formula, The base Firebird would have gotten the "wing" from 85-92, as I have never seen an 86-92 without the wing spoiler, I assume that it was standard.

the Aero Wing changed in 91-92, as it was more flat, and shorter in length.

so: wing spoiler was available all years firebird from 82-92

hope that helps
