yeh, it does look too curvy, but look at sonar_un's car and you won't doubt that after paint it will look good.

Jensen, yes, they are red. Painted with testors translucent.

Spdfrk, it is way curvy when you look at the back of it. I love it though.

123jon and 86z, yeah I'm gonna paint it body color, after I finish up the little work I need to do. I need to put more filler in the old spoiler holes, and The center posts I had to extend, and I'm not that good with fiberglass yet, so its all wavy and uneven.

it looks like you did a good job installing it and I like how from the side view the spoiler line almost perfectly matches the line in the ground effects. It's definitely more curvy than the rear of the car... it'd be interesting to see someone modify one to square it off a bit, particularly on the side extensions where it flares out near the back. Reguardless, i think it looks good. congrats! how much did it cost you?

Is that off of a 4th gen or is it the 4th gen wing made for a 3rd gen?

It's a real 4th gen wing because the 3rd brake light wraps over the top. The Thirdgen one is underneath only.

I like the car. Those are earlier T/A fenders, correct? I can't remember ever seeing fender vents with the 91-92 nose. I like it.

Thanks guys. Yeah, its a 98 trans am spoiler. The vents are the earlier style, but I think the fenders are the 85-90 style, cause they have the higher up gfx holes in em. I love those vents though, they're so subtle on there.

First pic, BLECH - Never seen that angle before but it definately doesn't fit the car.

Last pic, looks great - straight on, it looks perfect.

I dunno.

man, that looks great. If I had a 3rd gen TA, that would be the spoiler I would put on it. Now, your car is screaming for a set of 17's
