1991-1992 Trans Am/Formula rear wing is the best one out there for your car dude, its sleek looking design gives your bird the best looking apperance on the block.

wing?

i like the nascar style spoiler with full length piano hinge and angle adjustable with turnbuckles. you'd have to have this made; but i've seen the blade made of plexi, aluminum or steel. looks cool AND it's effective.

Hey Zepher, I think the ONLY 2 spoilers you have not sported on your T/A is the 88 RS, and the Camaro 3 Piece...

I am trying to decide also if i am gonna get the fiberglass replacement for my stock wing or a 91-92 Z28 highrise for my Formula.
I am leaning more towards the Z wing.

Oh, and the only way to have the car look good with no spoiler is to have wide wheels in the back that are even with the fender,

thanks,
Only thing I haven't changed yet is the hood and front brakes.
The wheels have been changed again.
I chose the OZ Racing Monte Carlos,
