let this go down in history as the "!RAI" or the "rai spoiler mod"

I like this "Rai" fellow.
I agree 100% with what he says, and i also can see how the side profile could be a problem too, but i think Rai has the best answer we could hope for.
I would really like to see some kind of rough PS from the side if someone has those kind of skills. I would do it myself but i'm limited to a laptop with a crappy touch pad right now.
Also forgot to mention, IMO, i would lose the "TRANS AM" decal from the spoiler and keep the orig 4th gen bird on the center peice, maybe a bit larger after filling in the key hole. Then fill in the "PONTIAC" in the bumper cover and replace it with a 4th gen "Trans Am" decal.
Damn i wish i was at a decent confuser right now...

However the sides on both the RK Sport and yours RAI (While looking better) is not what I am going for.
Look at the Heritage one. It has flat tabs, which keeps with the old style. Also the rear is supposed to have a trailing lip to the back lights and be flat.
I was thinking of blending the sides more into the body and keeping them attached to the side of the car. This would remove the lip seen on the Heritage that i think it out of place on those sides.
However I think the back one needs to have that flat flare down to the rear bumper tails for it to really hold the heritage styling.

i would just go with the !rai, even though i agree that flat sides would look a little better

But if your going to go through all the work to do it, why not just do it right.... The same reasoning that gets all of us into trouble with our motor builds.

this subject is not simply black and white, to me i really do not see "that" big of a difference between the standard and the flat ends
yeah i know its all in the details but givin the amount of work it would need, it does not look appealing to go with the flat edges.
especially when i personally wouldn't mind either sides, because they both look just as good in my opinion
