I can only say one thing about that car. 
Some questions....
Why rice out a Trans Am?
Are you going dirt track racing?
Are you Joe Dirt??
What did you used to drive:
A)Honda
B)Toyota
C)Mom's car
D)Playstation with Gran Turismo
E)Never owned a car before
If you buy that wing, John Force will hunt you down, beat you up and take it back from you, so be warned......

You guys are ******* ridiculous. Every thread now has someone yelling rice. Have you guys never watched a freakin LeMans race in your life? I've seen Vipers with that same wing that look unholy badass. He didn't ask for your opinion, he asked about fabricators.
I'd try giving a call to TNT in Houston...the Viper tuner and see who they get to make their LeMans style wings. I've been in a couple of times where they were fitting them so i know it can be done on a TransAm. It won't be that big if you were to scale it from the nitro car, but that style is pretty rad. My car's appearance and stance was modeled after longtail cars and i'm pretty proud of it....would even consider a wing like that, i just don't want to be the test dummy.
And don't listen to anyone that yells rice. Chances are they wouldn't know good taste if it bit them in their ***.

Damn people. One, he knows that off a RC car. Two, what
kind of a way is that to welcome someone to the board? All
of you need to stop all this "ricer" crap, I'm sick of it.
LS1Power98:
Scaled properly to a real TA, I think that would look badass.
I don't think there is anything out there like it, so it would be
some serious fabrication. Not something that is going to happen
cheaply. Might be worth looking into though, if you have the
means to get it done. Good luck!

i'm glad i'm not alone..... i don't understand why some people come into the appearance section only to call everything rice. not liking his idea..... and being an *** about it are two different things. either you can point him in the right direction or you can't, but posting "rice" comments and having him eagerly checking replies is not cool.
i suppose the following Lamborghini Murcielago is "Rice" because it's made entirely from carbon fiber and has a FUNCTIONAL racing wing.....

LS1POWER98, i would go with McTullis' idea and see if you can get one off a viper like the black one in the pic, and have someone fabricate that on to your car.

it looks decent, but if your not using the wing, its rice 
For a race car, yes its bad ***, but for a car that will never see the racetrack, it is overkill, just like a 12 point cage, or a chute out the back when running 13's.
If i was building a highspeed road race car, i would love to have something like that, but for my daily driver, that runs 12's, no.

If the car isn't going to be raced @ triple digit speeds that would require a wing like that then it is definitely
It's equivalent to a Z28 owner converting the car to an SS and claiming it as an original SS.
But hey it's his car and if that's what he wants to do to it then that's his choice.
We all make choices in life some are good and some are bad, but how else are we to learn but from our mistakes??
Yeah, ditto. I'm with Richie and the rest on this. That is :. The car will never be at speeds high enough for that wing to function any better than an SS spoiler. Therefore, it's rice just like a super trick hood scoop yo!
Besides, you're just asking for someone to say something when you put something like that on your car. So why is everyone getting defensive when someone says something against it?
But all in all, to each his own.

Thats just ridiculous to compare that to someone posing a Z28 as an SS. I seriously doubt hes going to try to pose as a LeMans race car 
and even if he is, more power to him, they do look bad ***. I agree McTullis and PendregonZ that you guys need to cool it. If Ls1power98 wants to try something new, by all means let him go for it. If you dont like it, its not your car and hes not spending your money. I don't know about ya'll but this hobby sure would be boring if all our cars looked the same.

Hell, you guys havent even seen the real thing yet. Most toy cars are a little out of porportion and not to scale. I seriously doubt it would look that bad in person if done right
