Formula Firebird with 2002 Trans Am spoiler Still need to make the center 2 risers and fill the gaps on the inside of the forward part of the wing. Might do a little work at the wing tips where they meet the glass, too.

The trick to painting the T-Top opening without removing the weatherstripping: Use a piece of nylon rope (about 1/4" dia.) and tuck it between the body and rubber to hold it up. Then you tape off the rubber and paint. Pull the rope out when the paint is dry and the weatherstrip will lay back down and hide the line.
