Default Idea of a new rear spoiler design for Trans Ams??

Wouldn't it be a good idea if somebody would design a spoiler for the trans am high rise hatch.... but with a long strip of leds running on it? I say the high rise spoiler because you would replace only the spoiler, not the complete hatch like in the base spoiler. Anybody get what I am picturing in my mind? Kind of like the firehawks, but not with the spoiler molded, keeping the stock appearance of the high rise with the stock gap left but just with a long led strip on it as a third brakelight, similar to the ones on the caddys.

I think a new high rise t/a spoiler sounds like a good idea and I'm all for it ..but the idea of extending the third brake light and making a spoiler to replicate the OE spoiler and to be able to fit the new lightbar doesn't seem plausible.

I don't feel that it would be worth the trouble...

Was the IROC spoiler seperate from the hatch like the trans am or was it molded in like the formulas?

I know they are rare, just wondering if it's a bolt on. I like it that it's tastefully different.

Definitely post a link, no sponsors make them, and it's no different than all the threads and links to camaro headlights on ebay.

I believe the iroc and "lumpy" Firehawk T/A spoilers bolted to a stock T/A hatch. it sure appears that way since you can see a break between the spoiler and the hatch unlike the firebird one.

I wouldn't mind seeing a new design though. maybe extending the length of the standard highrise t/a spoiler.. sort of like the mecham but not w/ the curves or angle.

I think the spoiler on the g6 gxp would look bad *** on the trans am! Kind of like the iroc spoiler and the high rise spoiler put together!

I like that idea. Not the same as that same one would look like ***, but the G6 wing looks good on that car. Something simmilar, but one that fits and flows with the TA.
