Well, for the dent that appears on the picture... I have no idea how it got there, its not that noticeable when you look at in person. The spoiler... on 93-94 only the ones ordered with Z-rated tires got the high rise spoiler and 155mph speedometer, and those were Trans Ams GT. Mine came loaded, all the options, except for spolier and z-r tires. I have since fixed the speed limiter, replaced gauges. I really like how it looks with the regular spoiler, to me a trans am looks right only with high rise spoiler if it has some sort of a cowl or ram air hood....

Depending on the years some t/as didnt come with spoilers. In '94 only trans am gts had the raised spoilers. In 95' it was an option. In 96' and beyond ALL t/as had raised spoilers.

My 94 TA GT had the same dent. i thought it got hit, but i see tons of them that have it, not sure where it came from. Mine also had the firebird spoiler. but I looked all over online. I found one for a hundred bucks, off a 95. The rims look great! They really make the car look so much better.

You decided to hang on to it, good call.
The wheels don't look that bad (wonder what darker ones would look like), now you just need to update your sig.

I like the looks of those wheels a lot. I would say what everyone else said...raised spoiler, get rid of stickers. I have one question...what size are the rear wheels/tires...the look to be sunkin in a little like stock TA/Z28 wheels do compared to SS.WS.6?
