Wow that wing actually looks real nice, looks like it belongs there! Their website said it was the same for firebirds and convertibles, there's probably 2 versions! Any more pics of that car?

Wow, thanks for the pic, that's exactly what I wanted to see. I like that a lot better than anything else I've seen on the verts. I personally think that looks really good. Much better than I expected honestly.

Thanks again man!

Oh yeah, it may have to wait until after Christmas, but this wing is definitely in my future.

There was a guy a while back who was modifying a trans am hatch to work on a convertible. I don't remember if he posted on here or over on CZ28.com..... He did a ton of body work and it came out looking a bit awkward. With the roof up and down it just looked.....wrong..... I think he finally just gave up and went with something else....

The silver one looks good but it seems to me that it doesn't line up with the body at the top, look closely and you'll see it.

That formula spoiler looks terrible, however, the vert one looks pretty damn good but not overdone.

that pewter 'non vert' wing is pretty bad, but the silver one is actually a pretty decent alternative.

their site has totally sucked nuts since I first saw it, though, and that was at least 4 years ago.. fail

Hardy any pics, bad angles for the few pics they have, no install info. They don't even have a pic of the vert spoiler on their site, last I checked they put up a pic of a coupe with a spoiler on the page advertising the vert spoiler and said the spoiler was the same for the vert. I was surprised to see the difference between the silver and pewter cars when the pics were posted.
