1988 Pontiac Formula

PostPosted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 6:42 pm    Post subject: Rear hatch Reply with quote

I'm thinking about going to a "no spoiler" look on my Formula, my wing is kinda cracked out and the replacements are pretty expensive, plus I've seen a couple Formula's without the wing and I think they look really clean that way. But I would like to keep a third brake light, so I was thinking a 91-92 hatch would work since the brake light is up top. Are camaro and 'bird hatches the same?
Let me know what you guys think

No spoiler ftw.

Why do you feel a third brakelight is needed?

No spoiler ftw X2

I couldn't see the hatch's changing that much through out the years, my 82 firebird has a hatch from a 82 camaro.

Uh... Good question, I guess it would just look more factory to put the brake light up there rather than just delete it all together. Guess I could live without it.

Nice, I couldn't remember if camaro's had a different crease to them or anything.

Thirdgens look like turdgens with no spoiler.

Period.

Don't care if it's a safeway shopping cart wing, it still looks better than nothing.

My spoiler looks like crap, it's the only spot on the whole car with faded paint, it has a couple cracks, and its a little warped on the part that wraps around the window.

I always liked the "no spoiler" look. I think Early birds (82-85) look better than the Camaro's without one though.

FWIW, here's a pic of a Formula the same bodystyle as yours with a shaved decklid. I really like this look, personally:

I think it cleans up the look of it too. not crazy about no wing on a camaro though. unless your going for a striped down sleeper look.

The week I spent without a spoiler was horrid. One of the main reasons I picked the formula was for the wing.

No accountings for taste I guess. Razz
