Default Spoiler options for 98-02 T/A's?

New to the forum but need to ask this question. I've saved up enough for a 2nd car and am looking at T/A's again. After desiding on a VR-4 over one the first time all because of the spoiler I want to know are there any other option of a spoiler with the LS1 T/A's? Anyone have any pics of different spoilers or anything? Any help is appreciated.

Yea, but their still the same basic shape. Having a hard time explaining it. If you have a non-stock wing on your Firebird post it up. Unless its a gay ricer wing, feel free to keep it to yourself.

Except for the Heritage, IROC, and Firebird/Formula ones, those are all wings.

The first time I saw the T/A without the wing, I thought it was nasty, but seeing it again now..... it's not so bad.

The Wings West wing looks stupid stacked on the stock wing. Anyone have any pics (or chops) of that wing (or one similar) on a T/A without it's stock wing? Might be interesting....

I saw a TA once in a magazine that had just the top of the TA spoiler bolted to the hatch looked pretty cool. Like a formula wing on steriods.

That is a stock wing that has the ends sloped down and a lip on top of the rear edge. A one off custom.

Here is another done in a similar fashion.

I think another import may suite your tastes better if you like that one....

I never said I liked it, just said something more along those lines. Something that doesnt wrap around the whole trunk area.

Every spoiler I have ever seen on a TA is on this thread. So if none of these floats your boat, I think your out of luck.

Also, here are a few more of the Firehawk Anniversary Edition that nhra-trans-am posted. His pic doesn't show it really well. It's actually a really nice wing. It bolts in place of the stock TA wing. You see them on ebay from time to time.

Also keep in mind that the stock TA wing is functional. I produces downforce at high speeds. I was tinkering with the idea of removing mine and smoothing it out, but once I learned it actually helps, I decided to keep it.

That's Infinate Reality's car. He's the only one I've seen with that rear wing option. I don't know the actual name of it. It's rare and not much is known.
Here are a few pics:

It's just reflective lettering. Notice the reflectors in the tails lights, also?
