Default Rear Wing options for 02 WS6 Vert???

I find myself disappointed with the factory rear wing on my 02 Trans am WS6 vert. I really like the wing they put on the non convertible cars. Has anyone tried converting? Pics please.

I think it has been done,have you tried searching google images? Honest if i had a vert i would put the non vert wing on one,the right body guy can do anything,blend mold etc, that would be a good product for someone to make

From what I know this has been done once.

It's a red LS1 Trans Am. It looked good, but the wing stuck out too far.

I unfortunately don't have any pictures for you. They posted the pictures in this section a year or two ago. Best of luck and keep us posted.

IMO all your options will look like ****, i've looked into this many times, and everything i found was pretty much garbage.

I still can't get past the pic of the double stack wings. I had a nightmare last night I went outside to get in my Firehawk and there were two wings on it.

There is a thread about it over in the convertible section. It gets revived every once in a while with someone who is supposed to be working on a complete trunk lid replacement. Always dies after a little while though.

that restyle wing looked very promising, just needs to be a bit higher.
