I believe that's actually an option for 1988. Someone with more knowledge about it might be able to expand on it though.

Re: found this third gen bird with second gen spoiler

That has to be a custom job. I have owned both 2nd and 3rd gen f-bodies and the body lines don't match. To fab that up in fiberglass really wouldn't be that uncommon, that is if that's the look you want. IMO the side and rear spoilers just doesn't look right, I do like the shaker hood though.

Wow who would have thought that was a special appearance package that was offered. I thought it was a custom job by the owner

Re: found this third gen bird with second gen spoiler

IMO, I don't think the spoiler are exactly the same. The white Firebird's spoiler looks like it's coming down the quarter panel. The red Firebird's spoiler is just at deck height and the whole spoiler looks like it moves when you lift the rear hatch.
