You made the right choice!


Resisting the scoops will be futile. Scoops are good.

Beautiful car, either way. You didn't hurt it, looks great with the spoiler and the black top and the old school TT mags are the perfect accent.

Yeah... a spoiler adds a touch of class to a Firebird [or Camaro]. When I bought my 71 Camaro back in 73 it had no spoiler on it. I added one and it made a huge improvement to the the car's looks. When I bought my new 79 Formula it came with the spoiler. If it didn't have the spoiler it would have looked messed up. The rear of the F bodies without spoilers make the car look like something is wrong with it, it's missing something. It's like wearing a Tuxedo without a bowtie.

So IMHO, you did good by adding it to your 72. Now it looks like a Firebird with meaning.

I would leave it off. It is so nice to see an early second-gen Firebird without all scoops and spoilers. It is such a clean design that the base and Esprit models really show off. I love that press photo of the red base bird with the Rally IIs. That is gorgeous.

I like the smaller flush attached spoilers.
