please help, would be very appreciated hey all im a new member here blah blah,
anyway.
i have an 02 ws6 convertible
unfortunately it comes with firebird trunk lid as you all know and yes ive used the search button and googled the hell out of it but as a last resort.
is there any possible way to get a t/a wing on the vert or to purchase a spoilerless trunk lid so i can bolt on up.
any stores?

It's been done...I'm not sure how he did it, but he did.

I don't like it to be honest. It hangs off too much.
Do a search on here... you'll find ALOT of info. You could always buy that "add-on" wing, I believe it's by Wings West?.. not sure... and slap it on your current hatch.

Check in the 'vert section............ multiple threads on this, here's the most recent:

Its been done, but not successfully IMO. Too small of a market for most aftermarket manufacturers. I think it could be done, but it'd cost alot in body work hours to get it done right. And then you'd have a tough time finding enough customers to get a return on your investment.
I've gotten used to the "Formula" spoiler on my WS6 'vert, kinda like a reverse mullet: Buisness in back, party in the front.

I wish. Problem is, unlike the Camaro stylists who got the 'vert and coupe rear spoiler to be the same, enabling them to use the same "special" SS spoiler on both coupes AND 'verts, the Pontiac stylists ended up with unique hatches for Firebird/Formula and TA coupe spoilers and a 3rd unique spoiler for the 'verts (even though it looks very similar to the Firebird/Formula coupe spoiler, it's not the same). The 'vert spoiler is molded as part of the entire deck lid, not just bolted-on like the TA spoiler is on coupe. Yes, the entire TA coupe hatch had to be completely remolded to accomdate the uplift spoiler, but considering demand for coupes outweighed demand for 'verts, it was easy to get return on the investment. Not so w/ 'verts. Pontiac would've had to create a 4th unique spoiler just for TA 'verts, hard to get ROI on the relatively small quantity of TA 'verts, it was much cheaper just to use the same deck lid as on Firbird/Formula 'verts.
