looks like it's been modified more than that. a high rise T/A spoiler has longer posts and taller sides than that, also after posting the pic of my car below, i can see the spoiler posts on his are much closer to the 3rd brake light than they are on a stock one, and the 3rd brake light has been taken off the spoiler. that may not actually be a stock T/A spoiler unless it's had a lot of modification. Come to think of it, i just looked again and the side pieces are much fatter on that spoiler than a stocker too. i'm gonna guess thats some aftermarket one. I'm not saynig it looks good, i'm just saying there was more dnoe than just unbolting a stock high rise spoiler and glueing it/bolting it to a firebird hatch.

+1, that isn't a normal TA spoiler. There are some pretty noticeable differences

Maybe if it was blended in and didn't have those obvious seams it would look a little better....maybe.
