Default Hatch differences in T/A

I was lookin at a hatch and the guy claims it's a trans am hatch but what is this? And also will a trans am high rise spoiler bolt right up to a regular firebird hatch?

I think the difference is that with the T/A hatch the mounting holes for the high rise spoiler are in a different location than the reg one. So if you wanted the high rise spoiler on your reg hatch you'd have holes and ****.

The Firebird hatch is one piece.... no way to remove the spoiler. To do the T/A hatch... you have to swap out the entire hatch. It's not a hard swap though.
