Need your feedback again ! FB Spoiler

[69rs]

No idea. I did a google image search for 1969 Firebird. There were several pictures of that car on a website, but I didn't get the address.

I am a betting man. I say its the same height. You are just looking at it from a different angle.

Gee Wizz I wonder what I think?

Do the girls make sence? Haha

No, IMO girls/women should never be in car pics, unless of course they are the builder or driver, completely takes away from the beauty of the machine. If I wanted to see women, I would get a mag that showcases their beauty. I guess if a car needs to have a distraction to keep us perfectionists from noticing the minutiae, then so be it.

Roger, your car will be awesome looking with either spoiler, but I would go with the traditional Pontiac spoiler as it is more unique. I cannot recall seeing one lately, I think you will be much happier.

I vote for the T/A wing also. I like the idea of shortening it just a bit also. I'm pretty sure there is only one version out there for the '67-68 and it's made by a small shop somewhere in Canada. You might try contacting these guys for more info: http://www.early-birds.com/ This 67-68 wing needs a lot of work from what I've seen so you might as well get one and start cutting.

How come the guys with the "69s" always get all the hotties?

[Hotroddin''79]

Personally I'd go for the clean look of no wing at all.

But between the two I'd say the shortened T/A wing. More timeless, and not stuck as a '60s car.

[speedster]

Awesome feedback. Thanks Guys !

Do the wing. I like the idea of shortening it.

[speedster]

I don't want to kill you guys with this subject, just wanted to post the difference with a cut down tail.

[Damn True]

The wing is waaaay better than the ducktail and the cut down version is the better of the two with the wing.

[Jagarang]

I still like the standard wing.....
I thought I'd like the cut down wing, but after looking at them both I seem to like the standard better.

I think it has to do with the car looking taller in the rear and optically adding rake to the length of the car.

[Damn True]

Good point kev.

In looking at it again, I think my pref. was based on the wider gap between the lower edge of the wing and the top of the fender. Get the gaps nice and tight and the tall wing will look better.

[Jagarang]

The problem with the gaps being toooo tight is that opening and closing the trunk becomes problematic. Frank is currently increasing the gap on Eternity so that we can open and close the trunk without the front corner of the spoiler contacting the fender.

Well, if you and Frank would quit slamming the trunk shut...
Geez, guess you don't know your own strength

[Jagarang]

It's deceiving how much angle the front corner of the spoiler gains on the quarter when you open and close the trunk.

Franks the brute, I'm the brains!

[Steve Firebird]

I have to say that I like the car best with no spoiler at all.I think it takes away fom the super clean lines you have going on.

[camaro608]

pick #3 looks very clean and orig.

Agree with what he said!

[quadfather]

i kinda like the cutdown version. just keep the gap small so you don't wreck the paint . and not to offend anyone but i think the tall version looks a little like those handles they put on the back of imports so you can carry them home when they break (lol)

[JV69z/28]

Another vote for the cut down version of the wing. I think you got the height just right in that 2nd picture.
