gta question

Which GTAs look like the 87 and 88 ones? I'm not too familiar with firebirds, but love the look of the 87 and 88 GTAs. When did the styles change a little? I know the nose on the 91 and 92 are different. What about 90?
Thanks

Ok nevermind. I just found the GTA sourcepage. It answered my question. 87-90 is the style i personally like.

Alright, forget all that. To further display my Firebird body ignorance...
Did all GTAs come with the aerowing spoiler, or did some have a standard wing style?

Glad that the Source Page was able to help you out, Mike.....

All GTAs used a version of an aerowing spoiler except for the GTA Notchback, which used the standard flat Firebird spoiler instead. The molding of the flat decklid necessitated the use of another type of spoiler on these cars.

Alright, I got another one...should be easy. It the GTA option a RPO code in itself, or would it not show up there? Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. For instance, how do you tell the difference between a Firebird, Formula, Trans Am, and GTA, besides knowing what the differences are. It is not VIN#, right? So i would think that it would have to be option codes.
