Would this be considered poser-ish?

Default Trans Am Hatch on a V6

Well i have a V6 bird and i REALLY love the look of the Trans am hatch. Do you think it would be wrong to put it on my car?

Its your car man, do what you want. Im sure there are going to be people against it, but who cares what they think, its your car. IMO the T/A rasied hatch looks MUCH better. Just dont go putting Trans Am emblems or anything.

No problem with that... It's no different than Z28 guys (like myself) installing an SS spoiler...

its comparable to putting an ss hood on a Z, something TONS of peolple have done on here. Poser would be TELLING People its a T/A, making it look like a T/A is something completely different

i wouldn't consider it poserish...to up ones looks/performance is not poserish, but to badge a V6/Z28/TA as something its not is poserish

Body panels and wheels are commonly swapped out on vehicles and accepted as tasteful appearance mods. Things cross the wannabe line when people put emblems on a car that do not belong (WS6, SS, etc..)

THEN we call them a poser

Go ahead and do it. It would look better with the high rise spoiler. It's not like you are even cloning an entire Trans Am, with your front bumper and ground efx being different from a TAs.

I've seen a few V6s with T/A hatches on them, and I think they look nice, especially with the ground effects.
