Default 98 Firebird Spoiler

I am new to this site, as I just bought my first ls1 Firebird. My first issue to sort out with this project is the monsterous spoiler the previous owner installed. I am in the market for either a stock spoiler, or one that would at least look decent and fit my car with little or no fabrication. I have a 98 Formula Firebird so if you have something that will fit. Please reply with some info and preferably pics.

Congrats on the new car! Formulas and Firebirds have the same spoiler so you could swap one of those on to your car. Just find a wrecked bird in a junkyard, craigslist, or look in the classifieds here. You could also check out Hawks Third Gen or Classic Industries, but those will cost more money.

This is probably the most expensive option but it's pretty cool looking.

I think a normal firebird or t/a hood would best best/cheapest. I've thought about changing my rear hatch to a Trans am one at some point in the future but I kinda want people to know my car is a Formula and not a t/a but I don't like being confused for a v6 either.

The Trans Am spoiler is raised and has space under it.

The formula/bird spoiler is attached with no space.
