Default Do you have spoiler envy?

When I saw my very first 4th gen back when I was 13 or so I fell in love. The thing that stuck with me the most was that wicked looking raised spoiler. I always wanted a TA with a spoiler like that, but I could NOT pass up the deal on my WONDERFUL vert.
Does anyone else kinda miss the fact that there is no spoiler on their verts?

At least you guys have the option. Id kiiiilllllll for a raised spoiler. It just adds THAT MUCH more raw "I want to rip your heart out" power look.

i like not having that spoiler. Honestly with the T/A having that thing on there would totally set off the lines that it has and since I've had nothing but compliments with my car...i'll keep it

I've owned both Camaro and TA. I just like the look of the Trans Am both inside and out over the Camaro and the seats in the Trans Am are more comfortable. IMO

I didn't even consider getting a vert because of lack of the spoiler

Being as big as I am the t/a seats are uncomfortable for me, I cant imagine how the racing seats I picked out are gonna feel, lol.

I don't have spoiler envy because they could be considered rice by some people.

I like the small window in the top, I don't care for the big *** back windows.

I do have Mecham rear lid envy, I saw one in person and it was sick *** hell.

I have spoiler envy, but not for the stock T/A wing (maybe a little ), but rather for the 10th anni-spoiler.

You've got to be kidding me. A factory spoiler for a vert. I would like to see your T/A Showstoppa, sounds like a nice car. I don't know how to post pics either.

There is a company that says they are going to make kits for the F-bodys. One of the kits is a copy of the Birds of Prey (T-top & Convertible versions). Those are SICK!!!

Here's the link.....everybody should contact them (even if you can't afford it)....make sure they realize there's a demand so they'll produce them!!!
