5 inch spoiler on trans am

Hey guys, I was wondering if it was possible to put a 5" spoiler on a trans am. I have a 4th gen spoiler currently, but the car needs to be repainted and I like the idea of being different. I've been scouring Google and this site but I can't find any pictures of it done. I was hoping someone could help so I know if I'd make a bad decision

Are you talking about modding a factory taller or going the ***** route? Please don't say ***** route.

Edit: Ha! it thinks "*****" is a bad word! How about I refer to it as an Uncle Ben's Wing?

I'm not sure which is the "******" route but I'm talking about the Hawks 5" spoiler.

like this but only on a trans am.

I think it would look weird since the Camaro's tail light wraps around and meets the angle of the spoiler but a trans am's tail light doesn't.

Re: 5 inch spoiler on trans am

You're wanting to do that on a fourth gen? The ***** is "r eye see er" route, the forum is censoring that word. Maybe it is offensive to some but on this board, really?

Maybe this is what you are talking about:

That is what I've heard people say but I wish I could see one to see how bad I hate it.
