I'm sorry the pics aren't very good. I'll try to get it outside tomorrow and take pics with a real camera.

Cool. From the front 3/4 it resembles a stock high-rise spoiler and when you get closer it more resembles the Mecham spoiler. Neat. Not my cup of tea, though.

I like that it really resembles the real IROC spoiler. Similar proportions and lines.





Now if someone just made a similar lower front valance.

Looks a little big and goofy on a formy. I'm curious if it'd look better on a T/A.

A+ for effort and creativity though. It's nice to see new stuff for these cars.

Looks good! It is like the optional IROC wing and a little like Ol' Lumpy. Pictures are in here.https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...e-spoiler.html

I'll try to get a weight ASAP. I'm in the middle of moving so it hasn't been the biggest priority. Sorry

Mecham offers two different spoilers for the 4th generation Birds. One for the high rise and an overlay for the stock Formula/Firebird/Convertible spoiler. I've installed both of those and this spoiler really doesn't look like either Mecham wing. They follow a similar line because that's what fits that body style but that's where the similarities end. It's equivalent to saying the WS6 hood and the Raptor hood look the same.

Really, really nice IMO. I like the rake angle, and the overhang over the back bumper. The only reason I didn't really like the formula tail was that it looks too small for the hatch. However, it did have a way of making the formy look a little more street muscle car.

I pulled my two birds out of the shop and took a few pics. They aren't up close because they were pics I was taking for the shops Facebook page but you can see the IROC spoiler on my SOM car and the "Banshee" spoiler on my red car. Sorry the pics aren't closer.
