Car: 1992 Pontiac Firebird Engine: V8 305 Transmission: Automatic Transmission | Re: My GTA w/new wheels/tires and dropped Car seems a little too black for me, maybe some emblems/stickers would do the trick. On the positive... its still looking sharp!
I was never a fan of the older firebirds/ta's but since being on this site, my mind is changing. |

Was curious if that is a stock wing on the back or the aftermarket one, need to replace mine and that one looks like it fits great if it's aftermarket.
Car looks great! Can only hope mine gets that close but in red  |

I ordered from ramairhood.com if i remember correctly and it doesnt look like they sell them anymore...good luck |

Car: '89 Trans Am GTA Engine: WAS 350 - now L92 (alum. 378/6.2L) Transmission: WAS 700R4, now a built T56 Axle/Gears: 3.27 9-bolt | Re: My GTA w/new wheels/tires and dropped Car looks pretty good, but it's a little humorous to me that out of all the pics you took, only one gives a decent view of the front wheel gap...  Try taking pics with the light source behind you (& without putting your shadow or reflection in the pic, if possible), I'll bet you'll like the results a lot better!
It does look nice though, I wouldn't have ANY problem sporting that car around town!  |

I have found another one and it's a bit pricey but I guess you have to spend a little on these ol' girls. I'll check RamAirHood for them just to double check but it looks like only a few people supply/make'm. |

Maybe sometime ill have a professional take a few pics but no time soon. Thx again for all the compliments everyone.
fogs will be back in soon, i assure you
for v8rumble, (the front tire is turned out a few inches)

Car: 1992 RS Engine: 3.1 Transmission: Auto | Re: My GTA w/new wheels/tires and dropped very nice choice on the wheels. i've been slowly growing on the semi-pro-touring look.
I am not sure if it was mentioned earlier, I just skimmed through the thread. Is that the factory stance? I think it would look great with a SLIGHT rake, but thats just me. Keep it up man, can't wait to see it with the emblems. |
