Default Can I see some Spoilerless Pics, Pref LT Style Birds

Yes I am in the thread about this in the body work section.

I am working on the Hertiage Lip but this means for a time I am going to have to lose my TA Spoiler... So I am curious just what the car will look like.

I have a Formula with a Fiberglass TA Hatch and WS6 RK Sport Hood. So the closer the better but at this point I will take an LT TA just to get a better idea of how it will look with the line differences.

Thanks. Hopefully it will not be horrible or too long.

No spoiler=

Hertiage Lip=

Forget losing your high-rise spoiler.

It is the best looking spoiler for a T/A.

I know I am in that thread, but to MAKE the Heritage one I have to remove the stocker and its going to take some time so for awhile I will be spoilerless.... its just going to happen.

I have seen the last gen LSx style cars that way and I can live with it. (I also happen to love FD's and my other car is a very non-stock Probe GT...)

But as I said I want an idea of what I am going to be dealing with while I work on this project on an LTx Style car.

As for the thoughts on the Heritage being bad... ummm can we say nuts?

Again I am not doing this because I want the look of the car with no spoiler. I am doing it to allow me the ability to work on molding the 78-81 TA Rear Lip to our Generation vehicles. I will make a write up of course.

id say wait till ya get it all ready to go before you dump the spoiler cause these cars look like sin without something back there. How do you plan to cover the holes to keep water out? At any rate heres a few of mine when the spoiler was off during the repaint. Not much but i hope it helps. I agree with you though, i like the heritage look, definitely something cool and different.

nice. reminds me of a ford escort from the rear


0-60 in 7.4 seconds... pretty sure that's quicker than a v6 camaro/firebird of the same year.

In my opinion any spoiler but the Transam spoilers looks funky. Everyone has there opinion though, and to be original, you have to get some bad comments!

Very true

I got a Fiberglass one so that I could just fill them correctly (Hatch that is)

But before I can even start setting it up I have to start with a clean back rearend. Hints why I had to see just how much it was going to annoy me lol.

I like it with the non-ta rear though, but thats me. I would not mind seeing it the other way thought.

Looks terrible!!!!!!!!!!

If you just want something different... I guess I understand.....

I could understand someone wanting to make a change from a stock Firebird hatch... but even the stock Firebird hatch looks better than this.

Sorry but I have a TA one and that looks bad ***, as pretty much 90% here feel aswell. So I am glad you have an opinion, we all do. But that you think this is based off trying to be different... that sounds more like a ricer excusing a body kit piece.

A stock item thats very rare is fun, but frankly like so many others I love the look. The fact that it really pulls from the real history of the Firebird/TA makes it a really cool bonus.
