New Firebird Spoiler
#41
I know Im like 6 years after the thread was originally made, but is there any information you would be willing to share with us regarding the creation of this spoiler? Id love to do something just like this for my 02 v6 firebird. I think the stock spoiler looks kind of goofy, and I do not like the look of the trans am spoilers on the v6/formula cars. The Firehawk IROC style spoiler is just what Im looking for, but a custom made one seems to be the only real option these days. Was this one created using a bare TA hatch or is it an extension of the firebird hatch? I know the base firebird hatch spoilers are attached from the factory, where the TA hatches have the removable spoiler.

Sorta. Here's the story about the spoiler. Years ago we met a man who was working with SLP. This spoiler was originally going to be the IROC spoiler that came on the 01-02 Firehawk. They ended up scrapping this one because of the aerodynamic testing is much better on the IROC spoiler. He offered the original to us and so we had it for years. There is a fiberglass shop that we know in SC about thirty minutes south of where we are. He offered to teach us how to make the mold and reproduce the spoiler so that's what we did. So far we made 5 of them, one of which is on my car and three others are already accounted for here locally. I like things different so as of now I'm the only one with the spoiler. Pretty cool in my opinion. One of my good friends Travis (tbird31) is going to put one on his car as well.

Its a shame they are not going to make more. That spoiler looks PERFECT. Car looks awesome man. I guess I will have to make due getting a used trans am spoiler, should be good enough.
