Need some help from some early LT1 experts

I have a 1995 Trans am, with the lower level spoiler, I can't figure out why some 95's have the lower and some the higher option, mine was top of the line in 95, came with the the full load, including the 150 mph speedo, z rated tires, 1LE package! but also the low spoiler like the formulas! All the ta's I see around here have the high rise spoiler! please explain! I did notice a 95 firehawk with the low spoiler aswell!

Thanks for you r help guys!

I'm pretty sure it was just an option. I have always wondered about that too. I think the T/A's look so much sweeter with the raised spoiler. I wouldnt own mine unless it had it. You can find a wrecked T/A (smashed in the front or side) and swap out deck lids. Thats what I would do. Hopefully someone else could shed some light on this subject though.

The high rise spoiler was an option through 95. You sir, got the "bad" option.

It's still a T/A though, right??

my 96 has the low spoiler. I dont think its that bad, the nose and ground effects are what makes the t/a look good. At first i thought i wanted the high rise, but the low one grew on mean and i kinda like it now. I think it looks a little smoother that way.

This came right out of the old FAQ.

Trans Am GT - available only in 1994, same as the regular Trans Am, but with all the options including "up-level" rear spoiler and GS-C tires coming standard on the car. All 1993 Trans Ams had the GT treatment as standard, but they were not referred to as GTs. In 1995 and after, the treatment got broken down into a number of options like on the Formula.
Here's another one from the new FAQ.

No major changes were made to the '95 cars. Goodyear 245/50 16" RS-A All- Season tires became an available option on the LT1 cars. On the Formulas and Trans Ams, 5-spoke 16" polished aluminum wheels became standard (chrome option is set for next year). On Z28s. the black roof and side mirror treatments can be deleted such that they will be the same color as the body of the car. In mid-year '95, a version of the Buick 3800 3.8L V6 is being offered as an option in the base Camaro and Firebird (estimated at 200 hp). A power antenna was added to the hi-end stereo package and the Pontiac steering wheel was redesigned (which was actually taken from the Grand Prix). The Trans Am GT (name) was dropped and the wild wing and upgraded stereo/performance options which made up the 94 GTs became an option to add to the base Trans Am. The Formula badges on driver headlamp and rear bumper only said "FORMULA" (whereas they had "FORMULA V8" in the past).
