Ok, here's the deal.. I'm thinking of putting a high rise spoiler and/or 16" IROC rims on my TA.

Now now, I know, , and I did, but I want opinions here.

Whaddaya all think?

nick418

put the high rise iroc spoiler on it, i think it look actually good. i would like to see a pic of one tho

yeah when I set out to buy another Fbody I was actually sort of hoping for a CAmaro for the high rise, but I like the aerowing too. Problem is mine needs to be replaced anyways lol.

I found this one, of 85vortecTA's car, and I love it. I also really like the exhaust, considering that too.

damn that looks good on there. almost like thats were it belongs. i dunno bout the irocs though. theres a bird round with z28 rims and it looks kinda cheesy

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

What if I painted them as shown in the tech articles? (mainly black with the middle of each spoke remaining polished)

iTrader: (1)

id get a photo shop done first before puttin money down for some. i personally didnt like the look that they gave the bird. irocs are a bit different then z28 rims but have the same sort of look.

Well, I'm just looking for factory 16" wheels to put on, and I'm just trying to expand my options from the GTA and formula rims..

nick418

305 i like the 4th gen firebird spoiler better

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

Well, problem is, those cost more money.

nick418

then save your DAMN MONEY!

where in canada are you 305?

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

In the west, far away from the salty roads.

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

oh, I will, but the thing is, I'd rather save for a 355 than a spoiler right now.

nick418

get spoiler! man you already hav a nice V8 (not bein sarcastic)

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

Oh, you just want me to go for looks before speed so you wont have as much competition.

JeffW

don;t like the exhaust..looks broken to me,, nothing worse than a mod that looks like its a broken item rather than intended.

i think that spoiler looks good on there. i should of got that one for my z when i redid the paint.. oh well

nick418

No way man Deff should save your money for a spoiler and mods GO CRAZY WITH IT its soo worth it. By the way are you gonna build up your Lg4 or do a engine swap???? Cuz you can get a good L98 very pretty good prices or a Lt1

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

I'm going to do some minor stuff to the LG4 and then next summerish I plan to do a 350 swap. But I'm going to stay with a carb setup. I'm pretty young, so I'll be happy to hit the 14's for now. Maybe 13's when I get more time and money. Heck, I'm only 17 lol.

nick418

HECK IM 17 yrs old to! and man 14s are to slow for me! My l98 ran best 14.3 and thats wicked slow! hopefully with some of my mods im in the 13s

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

Well, one step at a time. After the swap I'll look into blowing it or spraying it or something.. Or both.

iTrader: (5)

Here is mine,it looks ok but I want the aero wing back.It was all warped when I painted the car and I had the high rise on my other t/a so I stuck it on.

kid camaro

iTrader: (1)

nice ta 87tpi. that spoiler looks good on your car. fits in nicely.

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

Oh man these all look amazing. Anyone willing to explain to me what exactly is involved with removing the old aerowind and filling/drilling holes, etc?

LT1guy

iTrader: (1)

I have welded up the holes in a stock decklid, but its easier just to go to the junkyard and find a Camaro or Firebird with no spoiler and grab the lid off of it. About $10 here.

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

Ah yes, good point. But what about getting the spoiler off the stock hatch glass?

LT1guy

iTrader: (1)

I have never removed an aerowing (my car had one, but the previous owner removed it since it was so badly cracked). There are some kind of metal clips attached to the metal around the back window. I am away from home and don't have my shop manual, but someone can probably give you more details. To make it look right you'll have to grind the clips off, or do what I did and replace the whole hatch (the metal band was in bad shape anyway on mine).

305q_ta86

iTrader: (1)

heh yeah I guess that'll work, but then I'd either have to find one from an 86, or get a smooth one and mount the light on the spoiler..and figure out how to wire it lol

LT1guy

iTrader: (1)

Didn't think about that; I deleted mine.
