Difference between Trans Am Spoilers!? i have a 99 Pontiac Formula , and have been wanting to change the rear hatch to one with the Trans Am spoiler. I have this Guy wanting to sell me a hatch off a 94 Trans Am. So my question is do the spoilers on the LT1 models look the same as LS1 spoilers??? I need your guys insite! Thanks for any help or advice!

Ok sounds good enough to me. I got this guy wanting to sell me the entire hatch for $100 with the window. I figured I can't go wrong. For some reason I was thinking that the 93-97 spoilers were shaped differently than the 98-02.
I was thinking 95 was the first year of the high rise spoiler ..I think at least 93 had the lorise formula spoiler. Maybe the hi rise was an option before it became standard?
^This, ..., is somewhat true, I believe.
Some of the 93-94 Trans Am cars did get the low-level spoiler. The hi-rise spoiler may have been an option or came with the Trans Am GT option.
I'd simply suggest that the person send you a photo of the hatch to be sure before you commit.

All the hatches are interchangeable. The latches might be slightly different, but all you'd need to do is transfer the original one to the new one.

I "think" the formula style spoiler was standard on 93-95 trans ams as well as being hard top. The high rise spoiler was optional.
Double check with the seller first that it isn't just a firebird hatch.
Since I know very little about the lt1 platform, was there ever a hard top WS6 produced with an lt1?

The LT1 cars could come with either, depending on options ordered. In 1993, all Trans Am's had the uplevel spoiler. In 1994, base Trans Am's had the low level spoiler and the Trans Am GT had the uplevel one (RPO T43). In 1995 through 1997 the low level spoiler was an option that got rarer and rarer until done away with entirely in 1998 when all Trans Am's once again came with the uplevel spoiler.

Spoiler discrepancy it sounds like. The firebirds had the lower, attached spoiler...the TA's had the raised spoiler.
