For the love of Christ, leave the aluminum wings alone and keep your stock wing.

Put some ghey wheels on if you want to be unique. Like 20 inch neepers or something.

There are better ways to being unique, that to disgrace our fine cars with one of those god aweful things. Please find something else to change.

An Aluminum wing!! AHH, first of all, they are so flimsy they really dont do anything at all. Second they look like crap. I think you've got a bad case of the fast anf furious or something <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

No, don't do that man, change your wheels or something, u want to do that, get a civic. It's your choice, post pics if u do it so everyone can see how "off" it will look. Maybe u should get the firehawk wing?

I have never seen an aftermarket wing for the firebird or trans-am that I liked or thought looked decent. I dont dig on the commando wing cause it just throws the car off plus it looks to much like something ive seen on an import, and the commando wing is the only advertised one for the T/A (unless you get the spoiler flares for the firebird from suncoast or wings west.)

Around here I once saw a firebird with a big bow wing (all curved like a supra or eclipse) and although id never seen anything like it which was cool, i still couldnt dig on the style..

id say get the 5 piece ground kit, maybe some new wheels and find a few other ways to dress it up. Like all cars sooner or later you have to come to the conclusion that anything that can be done with the car has probably already been done and the best you can do to be original is be the most original in your area.

Honestly I dont care about originality so long as I (as in me and only me) think it looks good. I can understand that guy (with the wing that yelled at you not to get one too) clingin on to his unique-ness like grim death but man if i had something on my car that someone else came up and gave me credit for and what-not, the last thing im going to do is tell him he can't do it too.

Hell, just have your stock TA wing painted aluminum color and paint some fake rivets on it. At least it will match the body lines and "look" aluminum

No Fast & Furious please, thanks!

The Mecham Wing is the way to go to be different, there are not many of these cars running around. Good suggestion!
