that spoiler is badass....I want one! How much for you to make another? I'd pay a good chunk for that.

I will be making a 2nd gen replica to fit 3rd gen firebirds and trans ams. Im going to be making a mold for it so i will be able to make more if anyone was interested. On mine i think im going to make it slightly taller more like the hawks 5 inch one.

As far as the tailights go it shouldnt be too hard. I plan to make the panel out of sheet metal and weld it to the rear quarters so its flush. But the panel will be recessed. And i plan to have the sheet metal come out and butt right against the bumper.

Thanks man

I'm going to finish my car first... after that I will contact Token fiberglass here in Canada and see if they are interested in molding it. If they want to I will make sure to let everyone here know.

Sounds cool man... let me know how you make out! I don't know if the pics are showing it right... but the one I made is actually over 6" tall in the centre... I don't know if you want to go much higher than that

I see you have a GTP also... I have a '98 black on black 4 door and I love it. How do you like yours?

those tails remind me of the ones on my 66 goat (are they the same?) but i think the goat has more of an overhang over the tails badass nonethe less od it! id like to see someone do a 1st gen camaro tail on a 3rd gen maro itd be pretty tight. and i must say i like the idea of a shaker hood too bad there was never such an option on maros (or was there im kinda new to the f-body world) keep up the work cant wait to see it!
