Re: Pics of my Black 1989 GTA.

Looking good. I'm not a fan of that hood on our cars, because it's missing the other 2 openings like the 4th gens. But the 4th mirrors look good.

Awesome. When my car is done, the exterior of it is going to look very similar to yours. Nice to see someone else getting rid of the stock mirrors too.

Re: Pics of my Black 1989 GTA.

Wow, that's a reeally nice mix of fourth gen with third gen. I like the spaceship-looking ram air and rear spoiler with the hard muscle car lines of a third gen. My rubber OEM Formy spoiler is cracked and I'm thinking about switching to the fourth gen style.

Re: Pics of my Black 1989 GTA.

Thanks guys,Its been a long 7 years finding all the parts.I found this car sitting in weeds about 5 foot tall 7 years ago,someone decided to strip all the good stuff out of it,it did have the RPO code in the console(Y84).The engine was still in it (Tuneport 5.7) but it made a terrible knocking noise.I installed the 355 with dart heads,changed to carb 800 CFM(was running in that class at the time)installed the TOP SHOT nitrous kit,200 horse power shot,Richmond 5 speed,373 gear.
Only thing I wish I had done different was left it TUNEPORT,but I can always put it back one day!!!

Re: Pics of my Black 1989 GTA.

Looks like a Summit catalog puked under the hood of your car...

But, at least it is clean.

Re: Pics of my Black 1989 GTA.

One of the most custom GTA's I've seen. I usually go for the stock look of our cars, and will on mine. But, there is something about your car that I like. Maybe the overall car is what I like, I just don't like some of the individual items.
