Default firehawk hatch ?

I've been looking for the hatch off of a firehawk for my t/a. I'm looking for the one that has the long led brake light in it, but I can't find it anywhere. I think it only came out on the ls1's, but not sure. Does anyone have any idea where to find one???????

Good luck, I have seen one on e-bay a few years ago for local pick up. That thing is going to be super hard to find

Got a picture of the difference between the two? I wouldn't have guessed that there would be, but if it's only the light, you could probably mod a high rise hatch for much cheaper.

I don't think that was a stock Firehawk spoiler/lid as they either came with the stock T/A hi rise spoiler with the standard tail light or this one that I believe was only available the first half of 2000:



Correct me if I'm wrong though?

I've never seen EITHER of those. The one Explicit posted though, looks quite similar to the SCCA Trans Am Series spoiler. Which I obviously can't find the pictures I stumbled across 2 days ago of those NASCAR type SCCA T/A to show it

The one Explicit posted is the actual firehawk LS1 hatch. I cant remember which one but it is either RKSports or SLP that sells them and it is just the wing not the whole hatch

The other one I posted is also an official SLP Firehawk hatch that was only avaialable in early 2000 I believe as they pulled it halfway thru the year for the more traditional spoiler/hatch combo.

I've only seen this a handful of times and I bet that it will be collectable in the years to come given it's limited production time.

The first one posted is nicknamed "ol lumpy" and was only available for a very short time on 2000 firehawks as posted. The second one posted is the other available spoilert that was available on firehawks for a couple years and was also sold by slp seperately as the "iroc spoiler" I believe. So all in all there was 4 different spoilers available on firehawks

Crazylegs,

I like the look but how's it with pooling water? I thought one of the firehawk wings had a reputation of collecting water like a bird bath.

Take it easy

Weird that it's still a 2-piece spoiler (so it looks in JP's pic) but is on a High Rise hatch Can you get a pic next to a base-spoiler JP?

IROC series is what I was thinking of, not SCCA :\ Apparently (according to this thread, if I'm reading it right) is they are both an optioned spoiler on the 'Hawks. The bar LED being the IROC version and then 'Ol Lumpy heh Which looks like a cross between the Banshee spoiler and the 4th Gen base spoiler >_> I actually like the base spoiler a tad more only or the reason that it is conformed to the hatch and not bolted on leaving a seam. They should've just modified the top part of the base hatch spoiler for that IROC one.

EDIT: For anyone interested, here's the link I mentioned earlier not being able to find

My spoiler is the SLP factory installed one, it came with the car, you can see two drain areas right above the reflectors on my lights, there tiny little notches. No water ever pools up in there, but what pisses me off is after you wash your car and dry it, then take it for a ride, water runs out of those two little drain holes and normally carrys dirt from underneath the spoiler down all over the rear of the car so be prepared to wash the rear twice!
