I saw a Formula hatch with a add-on ducktail (kinda) piece. THAT would make that Formula hatch look really nice on your car...better than the every-day high-rise T/A hatch. In fact, that add-on piece makes the Formula hatch look like the Trans Am IROC spoiler (one of my personal favorites)! I vote for the low hatch, but get that ducktail part for it, it'll look even better and it'll hide that paint problem you've got.

high rise for sure, i am not a fan of larger spoilers usually a 3/4 view with the high rise is almost unbeatable

looks exactly like my car only in LS1 form (i have the same black w/ black ZR1's) and i say "Just say NO" to formula spoilers. imho the firebird spoiler reminds me of a base model 94 T/A...I think the formula spoiler was actually standard on 94 (all 93's had the high rise IIRC), 95 and 96.. but mostly you see 94's with them...it just doesnt look right with the low rise spoiler and the gfx





and LOL @ "transamino"

how about the Family Truckster look?

Why would you put a v6 spoiler on your car?

Did your car come with a v6 spoiler? Its not a real trans am then!



I agree though, it looks good on a slightly lowered car with really wide tires - almost looks more racey and aggressive in a way.

well, I am still undecided on wether to swap them or not. But I decided that I will keep the hatch around
for a while and give more thought to it. I am leaning more towards the lower hatch still because It looks good,
and is different than most on here. Just like I plan on never getting a WS6 hood for the car because there are
a billion around here. Thanks all for the input

have you considered the iroc spoiler as a choice?
You know, I totally forgot about that as a choice. It's one that I never see around and will probably be hard
to find. Thanks for the idea!
