Are you talking about the ground effects that are the same as the aero package on the 84 Trans am and the 15th anniversary Ta package? If so, I am almost sure I saw a company that has those available now...I will dig through my too many piles of catalogs and post it if I find it...

Didn't they also use those in 91 when there was a rear disk brake shortage?

Seems like I've heard they used those aluminum drums on a bunch of MonteCarlos as standard equipment?

Not to poo poo your post, but honestly the rarest thing about that whole thing is a Working Solonoid... Every T/A in 1983 and 1984 got one, and then you have the 1982's...

if anyone needs a wonder bar or 34/36mm hollow sawy bars let me know.....i got a good freind who parts out 3rd gens. hes got at least 15 hollow sway bars. got a good story for you all.....................................so i put a th350 in my car and had to get a new driveshaft made. i had my factory aluminum driveshaft in my dads garage, and a friend broke his at the track. so i let him borrow mine. BIG mistake, the next week he was at the track and i was not thinking about him still having my driveshaft in his car and he launched his 6-speed 6 liter ls1 that makes 510 to the wheels and it instantly ripped right at the trans yoke! i was devestated. he promissed me another one but i never got it.a**hole. btw if anyone needs any 3rd gen parts let me know. that freind of mine has been selling me rearends and stuff for years. he is extremly cheap! no one ever comes close to his prices. example: 89 gta rear disc setup with pbr calipers=$60. my last 9bolt=$150. 36mm sway bar=$20. my last 10 bolt( now blowen up in every possible way) with a zexel carrier and richmond 3.42's=$200. like i said if you need anything just pm me, id be glad to help any of you guys out. p.s. i got my silver iroc rear badge for $1.50 at a local junk yard that has about 170 3rd gens, its great for relays and light blubs too.they only charge for one bulb, no mtter how many you have.(still lookin for the aluminum hood though!)

I personally have a couple of those screens, I take them and with the block off plate they give me a little more to look at than just a blank spot, on the scoop... That is actually what Pontiac did with them on the LG4 in 1982.

THe nice thing is its subtle, and most people would never notice...
