I like it! do you have close up pics of the top of the hatch and how its blended on to the hatch. Also is the raked stance on purpose? it not lowering it would help.

Thanks! The closest pics i have taken is in my build thread. Thats all i got. To desrcibe it, i kept a concave contour on the front and back, just filled it to my liking. Kinda more an eyeball thing. It really varies on where u place the spoiler, and what verticle angle its setting at. And yes, i do love the raked stance. Just looks mean. I have stock suspension for now, but my rims and tires about 1" staggered. I am lowering the front 2" more when i get the chance. I would bring the rear down but im afraid of hard rubbing in the rear. Those 295's dont play too nice with that. I could get it to work but my spring rate would have to be too stiff, and drivability is a factor. I may end up mini tubbing if the rear sits too high for my liking tho?

I think it would look better with the Trans Am rear bumper instead of the Formula bumper you have on currently.

Something different and unique, doesnt look bad though.

I had all the trans am trim on the car. In my head it just didnt match up. The trans am rear bump is just bigger, hangs lower, and its wider. I think it would belittle this spoiler. But ive never seen the combo together. My thought was, if it would work with it, then why would GM put a formula bumper on the 2003 heritage car? That was actually the point that got me to switch to the formula bumper. im not bashing. Id have to see it. Im just saying, its really iffy. I feel the formula is more proportional for this modification.

Negative, think a Trans Am is just modeled perfectly and any modifcations to it just looks weird and this definitely one of those situations. The lighted filler panel is Bad *** BTW.

But I wonder how it would look without the formula bumper

When I look at it from the side/rear angle shot or the rear itself, it looks like a Camaro with T/A lights to me.

Looks awesome, imo that spoiler flows a lot better with the lines of the firebird then the camaro.
