Pic? The 4th gen, 93-97 wings look great & are WAY cheaper than the 3rd gen 'glass ones. Generally $75 or less.

Re: 70 trans am spoiler on a third gen

Not sure how you're gonna make that work - the 2nd gen Birds had a much skinnier rear end, much shorter trunk if I remember right. But hey, with a big enough hammer, anything is possible!

Re: 70 trans am spoiler on a third gen

All I can say is good luck with it....you're gonna need all you can get. Unless you have superior fabrication/modding skills you're going to just end up tossing it in the trash after you've put several hours and several more dollars into it. I'm not trying to shoot down your idea, just being realistic. The shape of the two generation of cars are COMPLETELY different with one being sloped, narrow, and rounded and the other being flat, wide, and squared off.
