Default T/A spoiler is on the Formula

I had to have one, I love the look of the high rise spoiler, but I did not want a Trans Am, so I made this Formula Am!

Looks great man

I think the T/A spoiler is a huge improvement over the Base/Formula one.

There seemed to be 3 options for spoilers
The iroc which looked like what he had

Ol lumpy
http://www.firehawk.org/picture/1289.html
And the transam one that he has now(one2run)
They all look good and different, ol lumpy I believe was the one that you don't see much of. I too have the transam ones on both of my cars.

It follows the rear bumper so nicely! The angle of the spoiler in relation to the bottom of the bumper cover look perfect. This should have been the spoiler from the factory on all the V8 Firebirds, imho.
