I'd put that on my TA in a heartbeat if they made it for the same price as a normal spoiler, and like the 3 piece for the camaros.

Someone here has a black Formula that they added a custom lip spoiler to. I have a picture of it finished, and I know the owner posted a bunch of pictures of it.

To say something looks like it's missing is an understatement.

while I don't care for the looks of no spoiler...

I know that taking the little spoiler off of a 99-04 Mustang GT will add about 1-3mph to a 1/4 trap... I gotta believe taking off the T/A spoiler would shed a good amount of weight on top of it.

Cant really tell anything from that pic, but it looks kinda small. I'd want one with a bit more lift to it.

Honestly it doesnt look that bad without a wing. Maybe its because I dont own a T/A, and see one everytime I get in my car, but one part of me likes the T/A wingless, and another doesnt................

I still like the stock trans am spoiler better than the fliped berger style. My dad has an 02 WS6 and they just look bad *** bone stock. MY car is faster though!!

I'm really on the fence about a T/A with no wing. Part of me says gay while the other part rembers when I had a 92 GTA and took the wing off. It looked pretty good, but the back end was a lot flatter than the forth gens. Either way the duck tail wing would look badass. I'm surprised nobody makes them.

That lip spoiler shopjob Silver02TA posted up looks killer from the back, but unfortunately I think it would just look like hell from the front. Without doing some real fab work it would end up looking boogered on the quarter panels... kinda like the RS Camaro spoilers look now (sorry).

Just the opposite of the no spoiler, which looks somewhat interesting from the front but terrible from behind. Meh.

You TA guys got it nice already, they don't need any changes imho. Make it faster or louder instead, heh.

I believe that the guy that made the wing for the black Firebird I posted used an RK Sport spoiler from a Camaro to make his.

i think it looks pretty slick from the front (if you ignore the other tacky elements of the car); and it's not a chop - it's a real car.
