The new spoiler should be fore TA hatches and formulas, though I know the design would be slightly different for the formulas. Beats having to swap your whole hatch just for a spoiler.

Mecham has a wing for both high and low.

Isn't there a spoiler where it droops down on the side and flares up in the back? Its not mecham or the iroc spoiler.

I think that spoiler would look 100 X better if it didnt flare up in the back. I wonder if the company can do that

The only spoiler idea that Ive ever liked that wasnt the regular Firebird/Formula spoiler or the regular Trans Am spoiler was this one off the 2003 Heritage Concept:

Im very aware of this lol. Id think it would look better on a TA then it does on that Formula with it having a fuller overall appearance.

on a side note, about that heritage trans am, what are your guys' thoughts on the fender duct placement as compared to ours? Do you think that would look good on our cars?

I Love the heritage car. The spoiler and especially the side vents. But the side vents only look good on the firebird fenders. Nobody offers a spoiler like that???

nope. i meant that

throwing the heritage/freedom design spoiler on a 4th gen camaro does not make it look AT ALL like a 2nd gen. i dont care what anyone says. it just doesn't. and that spoiler does not make that bird look like a 2nd gen either.

to me it reminds me of a 4th gen camaro (which i'm more accustomed to seeing) with the heritage/freedom style spoiler
