WS6 spoiler Anybody know where i can get a high-rise spoiler for my 93' Firebird? I like the higher spoilers from the newer firebirds much better.
Thanks!
(don't want to spend too much... obviously selling my old one)

Probably $250 to $400 + shipping. The shipping will not be cheap. Plan on another $150 to $200.
If you get lucky.... you might find one near you. (I got lucky and pickup one locally from someone.)
Btw... make sure you also get the support struts.... the ones on your current Firebirds hatch will not hold up the T/A hatch. The T/A hatch is heavier.
(Believe me.... I know... I tried. Fortunately for me... the guy that sold me the hatch also let me have the struts and I sawpped them out a few days later.) (You will need a T50 torx socket to remove and swap them.)
Also.... if you get a hatch from a 96 or newer model... you will need to splice the wires running to the brake light and rear defrost. The 93 model has a 3 wire connector and the 96+ use a 2 wire connector. Only two wires are used in the 3 wire connector anyway.
You will also need to align the hatch.
The swap is an easy one though.... I had mine swapped out in only about 15 or 20 mins.
(Make sure to run some painters tape around the hatch area to avoid scrapping up your paint.)
