looks very clean and unmolested. The power bulge hood will be a nice addition.

I like the black and gold theme you got going. Ever think about gold GTA rims? My Iroc is white and gold, but black and gold is much cooler. -Nick.

well you asked for opinions..
fix the tailpipes! they hang way down and look silly.
I agree with the Mecham wing, that would be sweet. I also think it needs some 16x8 gold GTA wheels and lowered about 1-2 inches. It would also be sweet if the car had the camel interior instead of gray. some tan Recaros would sweet.
Overall I like the car though. The black and gold works well on the early TAs.

I think your car looks great. Black and gold has always been my favorite combo on the TA's. I happen to like the gold wheels you have but gold GTA wheels would definitely look great on your car also.

Man, I really like how this car has progressed.
And it REALLY makes me want to get my GFX on my car.
I agree with the lowering of the car though, and with the new hood you have, I'd say you'd have it!

yes for sure i want it lowered just no cash right now for springs also yes the tail pipes ive been meaning to fix for a bit now but why fix them i say if there comming off soon and i would love to get a new muffler with tips..thats also later. About the solid frt inserts i dont really like them unless i had a daytona pace car with turbo cast wheels. This car is been in the back burner for a long while about 3 yrs now and its just now starting to come together...plus Im trying to sell it so i cant be too picky with it......especialy when the iroc is loseing my attention and thats not cool. I also recently spent most of my yr workin on jbodys....I build a general lee replica race car out of a sunbird and wrecked it after my brakes failed, I also just finished rebuilding a beater cavalier for my winter car and now its on the road and the iroc and the trans am are asleep for the winter...and i also have to keep ontop of my gf's trans am and her grand am winter car...tooo many rigs not enoght time....heres pics of my other projects..
Oh reason i say "older sister" is my iroc is a 87 and the ta is a 82.
heres my ta before pic its hard to see in the pic but int and ext was id bad shape (about 3yrs ago):
heres my race car i build this spring:
heres it after i fliped it and luckly was ok:

Fix the tailpipes and lose the window banner (kills the sleek look of the car). Other than that I think it's gorgeous.

i actually like the retro ta banner look i was the one who put it on there...i was going for the whole stock look...i also added recently the stock style fade stripe inbetween the gold ground efx and where the black starts.
