Camaro high rise wing on a Trans Am?
Has anyone done it? Or is that a big no no? The wing on my car is in real bad shape and I can pick up an entire Camaro hatch with the wing for a lot less than the cost of the wing itself. At least just to hold me over until I can replace the stock wing, which is $400 on HawksThirdGen. What do you think?

I've seen it done. Looks very nice. I thought about doing the same thing when the material on my old TA's wing was shot.

I've seen it done plenty of times, I like the look a lot. If I didn't have a fiberglass repro on mine and the stock foam one was shot I'd probably swap it for a Camaro hi-rise one.

i prefer the 91-92 trans am spoiler its not as bulky as the camaro spoiler and its not the crappy material the 85-90 birds have good luck with either option

i bought one off ebay for 15 bucks one time. brand new non painted too. it was a typo on the price and they couldnt do nothing about it cause i ''bought it now.'' 
that being said. i got it home and put it up to my camaro and realized that the 3 piece spoiler is way nicer. the highrise spoiler looks more at home on the trans am because the lights on the t/a flows better with the straight up style, where as the camaro slanted lights that cut into the 1/4 panel were designed for the 3 piece spoiler and just looks wrong with the straight up spoiler.
ta highrise > camaro highrise

Camaro one looks pretty good but I think I'd like the ducktail spoiler as well. A member recently put it on their 4th gen and it looks badass

Dont think it would really make a noticeable difference. Do you have a set, if so keep them safe, they go for big money. Specially ones with the "PONTIAC" intact.
