that double wing looks much better than stock.
stop ragging on him. there's not much else that can be done w/o spending too much custom fab money.....for a wing.
there's a Commando spoiler that does the same....sits on top of the stock wing.
calling the car rice and other BS is stupid because stock, the TA already looks like the Batmobile....all the flares, body mouldings, and **** on a STOCK TA is already pretty RICED out by what most of you would consider rice.
especially with the ram air hood option....that double wing didn't just turned it into RICE from nothing.

how bout maybe a custom roll up 'lip' the curves with the spoiler on our verts? I was thinking of something like that.
Doesnt wingswest have something like that Im talking about? I thought I had seen one once at a t/a 'gathering' when I was in GA.

I'm still in the process of molding a hard top hatch onto a t/a. I've had a couple of different guys in the business take a look at it and in all honest just to take the wing off of a hard top was a pain in its own right. I'm going to have to fiberglass the gap (where the old window used to taper down to the wing) to the conv. top. I'm still in the midst of it, just dont know how much farther I'm going. More than likely I'm just going to put on the tonneau cover and paint them custom to achieve a little different look. I'll see if I can find some pics sometime or my work.

pretty sure the wings west site says it fits firebird convertibles.. I would assume the rear deck lids are the same..

Really? THats strange. It would seem like it fits
THats disappointing since I was thinking of that. Ill have to do a custom one myself before I decide to park her and paint.....

That looks a hell of a lot better than the raised wing on top of the deck lid. Though, it still looks like it goes too far back because of the lack of a hatch. Still, a good option for vertible owners that want that raised spoiler.
