Default Different take on Trans Am spoiler
How would the spoiler look if the end of the spoiler flared upwards jus' a tad like the Mecham spoiler for the Camaro? Anyone good at photoshop?

Sounds like a good idea. There was one out there already that kind of meets what you're asking for.

I really like that duck tail spoiler. Has less of a "boy racer" look to it.
