Default wingless F-body?

Hey everyone I searched around here google etc with no luck does anyone have pics of a wingless F-body prefibly a camaro? Even better if black lol.

Also if you have done it what did it require what do you think and I understand these cars are pretty slippery from the factory, do you feel losse of down force at all?

Sometimes I just look at my car and it looks like that might be the coolest look for a camaro, or firebird. Also if someone wants to give it a shot on photo shop i'll snap a few pics if that would help.

Just my mind doing its ADD thing and wondering out loud.

I have seen a picture of a WS6 with out the spoiler, and it just looked like a super sunfire...

As for the camaro, that would difficult since the spoiler raises up from the hatch to meet the fenders flush.

Not sure if that would work on a camaro b/c the spoiler is kinda lined up with the quarter panels

I remember seeing a T/A on ebay without a spoiler. It was one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen.

when you take it off of the Camaro, you're left with 2 fins on each side of the hatch since the rear fenders are molded to the shape of the spoiler. I've seen it like this on a riced out Camaro on e-Bay (lol)

Here's a couple Photoshop jobs of mine with no spoiler, heh - it looks naked, but not as bad as I thought it would. from the rear I would imagine it'd be strange looking.

a friend of mine took his z28's spoiler off to get a SS one, it looked like hell without it... the fins on the side looked ridiculous, there are huge marks where the spoiler rests on the hatch, it looked disgusting.

Well thanks everyone for the help, It kinda rounds the T/A out a bit.. not sure how I feel about it honestly.

From the front angles it looks sweet, side ick rear I'm not sure.

I was never really planning on doing this on more then a whim but just wondered what it looked like, I do await the PS work and thank you all again for imput.
