I'm not exactly sure what you mean, I see your from Sweden, so I will try and help.

Is this for a Trans Am or Camaro? There are not many options for the Trans Am, not many that actually look good.

www.mechamperformance.com makes one that I'm am buying. Looks the best in my oppinion, and isn't too overkill. It looks great in person.

I think he is asking if he can go from the smaller T/A, Firebird wing to the high-rise Ws6 one. I don't know if the T/A and Firebird wings are the same but I know teh WS6 has a higher one.

I remember reading that the entire hatch needs to be changed for the WS6 wing.

Yes, I'm under the belief that the whole hatch has to be changed, you can't just change the spoiler part.

ummm yeah if you have the molded to the rear hatch lid airfoil like formula style then you need to change the hatch. if you have the ta style hatch where the airfoil is not molded to the hatch then all you need is some filler and paint it.
