Anyone out there going without their rear spoiler on a 4th Gen. Firebird?

Probably not very pleasing on a Trans Am, but I wouldn't think it would be "out of the question" for a Formula.
Does the Formula/base-car hatch have a normal decklid under the spoiler, or would you have to use a TA lid?

Pics of the entire car/profile shot??? Finished product or maybe in the middle of a repaint before reinstalling a TA spoiler???

 

Ive seen pictures of it from a guy who wanted to loose the weight. Our cars need at least a lip spoiler. The way the rear curves down looks weird without. And i think you may need a t/a hatch but not sure.

Hmmmm, very interesting.
Might be worth looking into that 3 piece GM ducktail spoiler.

So, is there a useable/paintable decklid underneath the Formula spoiler?

Thanks for the pics/links!

 

^ never heard of that but i do know you can mold camaro spoilers on.

 

Wow the rear looks A LOT like a Sunfire without the spoiler on there...

 

Firebird/Formula spoilers are molded into the decklid and are not removeable.
Too attain this look you need a Trans Am's Uplevel Hatch.

 

i had my spoiler of when i was repainting my car. i noticed that the *** end felt lose at high speeds. i belive they put that spoiler on there for a reason..and besides it will look like a probe on steriods..

 

read my mind

 

i still say it looks like a second gen ford **** probe

 

^ thats what i thought first time i saw. the funny thing is a lot of the guys on their forums take off their spoilers because they feel its more sleek. looks like the back of a taurus, not a sport car (though the probe/mx6 isnt one anyways).

 

I was thinking it looks like a Nissan 240.....Need a wing...just to plan.

 

THe T/A spoiler is not going to make any huge amounts of downforce... The design doesnt lend itself to create much downforce...

 

I don't think the TA's without a spoiler look very good. Makes the back end look like a Sunfire.

 

Absolutley discusting and looks like a Sunfire. Please do not do it.

 

While its not the worst look, its just not nice to look at...now it would be nice if someone had made that 79-81 style tail for the T/a.

 

Not very pleasing to "MY" eye

 

I agree with Detoxx

 

not good looking at all. not in the least bit. sorry but i love the t/a spoiler. it sets it apart from the other v6 crap

 

I saw a camaro with out the center piece at the junk yard i thought it looked kinda cool. idk i kinda like the no spoiler. But that's just because alot of the cars i have owned or liked never had a spoiler.
