I recently installed the rear hatch and upstyle spoiler from a Trans Am to go on my base model Firebird. Ive seen on eBay and other places that the whole hatch had to be changed, that you couldnt just swap out the spoilers...if this is even true, why is this? Is there a different number of mounting holes or something? Ive never heard of an explanation for this. Just curious is all.

i beleive the "lower" style spoiler is molded right into the hatch/trunk cover. While the "higher" style spoiler is actually "bolted" a different hatch.2006 Saturn Ion Redline

Based on the parts manual you might have to have a different lid to accomodate a different wing. Check the option codes.Attached Files97 Trans Am A4 more or less stock (Mods: WS6 Ram Air with Fernco & K&N, 12 disc CD changer, power antenna, SLP Fan Switch, LS1 Aluminum DS, Borla Cat back, McCord power plate, Spohn tower brace, Sirius, HID fog lights)

Its what Ryan said.... the V6 and Formula hatches are a single, molded piece, and the spoiler can't be removed. The high wing T/A spoiler is a separate piece, bolted to a different style hatch.
Then there's the Joe 1320 "no wing" option.....
