i can prob get you the 3 piece spoiler from a second gen T/A if you want to try it...I probably still have the pieces laying around from all the T/As i used to have...I think it would take some modification but could be done and would be unique....let me know

Just my opinion which means nothing.
i dont think a second gen spoiler would suit a third gen
but hey give it a try.

what im going for is kinda of like the spoiler some third gen camaros have but a little taller say like a 1971-1973 camaro....i think it would look good and like he said it would be unique so does anybody got pics?and how much would you want for the spoiler?

if i remember correctly, someoe posted something about a Firebird body kit that was very rare that came in the late 80s. It had the wheel flares of the 2nd gens and wat not. It did have something like a flip and looked pretty good. It housed the tird brake light too.

Someone did it a few years back. Looks fantastic, flows great IMO, just its a bit of work since the spoiler is nowhere near the right dimensions.

The spoiler I made was inspired by the second gen "duck tail" spoiler

The dimensions of the second gen spoiler are so different, it really would be easier just to start from scratch like i did.... or get the Hawks spoiler and modify it.

The one i saw looked just like the one on that camaro, but was a bit shorter and had the third brake light right in the middle (This was on a base Firebird BTW) I don't think it went all the way though. Just went up to the edges of the rear deck. I think it would looke pretty nice if it went all the way though.
