Ha did you run across the old thread as well and think to yourself “I kinda dig this spoiler on this car!”? Yeah, I did too. From what I was reading it’s a one off sort of deal, not sure if it’s manufactured or not. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime it. I think it looks good

Doesn’t look bad. I saw a 3rd gen trans am around town a couple times with what appears to be a 4th spoiler and it looks mean. I’m not sure what it looks like up close but from a far it looks like a pissed off red wasp. Lol

We used to call that style of spoiler duck bill. I thought the blade spoiler referenced the stock spoiler used on 1982-1984 Trans Ams and later Firebirds. Does look interesting, sort of like the center portion of the 2nd gens.

It's a duck tail spoiler, reminiscence of the first gen.
They were in production at one time, but I don't recall the manufacturer.

No, I have a Z20 spoiler. It's shorter and much thicker than this one.

I'm almost certain it's a Herb Adams Fire Am spoiler
