4th Gen style spoiler with louvers??
Question is can you use a 4th gen style spoiler with window louvers?
I am considering the purchase of a 4th gen style hood that is meant for the third gens. I have louvers on the car and love the way they look, and I don't want to lose them. I would consider a different set of louvers if necessary.
I want to know if anyone has done this and if so what louvers did they use?

Assuming you're talking about a 4th gen firebird spoiler on a 3rd gen firebird?

Personally, I'd go with '91/92 TA spoiler instead. Those 4th gen spoilers were designed for the more rounded look of the 4th gens. The '91/92 spoiler essentially is the same, just shorter and were designed to look good on 3rd gens.

You would most likely need to find a set of louvers for the wrap around style spoiler. But there is no guarantee that the third gen wrap around louvers will worth with the fourth gen wrap around spoiler. I would consider what MintWS6FORMULA said above.

I am 90% sure the Factory louvers would not work... I am not even sure if there was any aftermarket louvers that worked with the factory spoiler which I would think would be the only way to do it.
