Some pics of my T/A (updated better quality pics)
Nearing completion I decided to take some photo's, Not the best pics but they will do. Dont mind the trunk lid its getting painted shortly.
Decals are 76/77' T/A replicas,ordered to custom size in thirdgen locations, I even have T/A 5.0 for the hood but im not sold on it yet. I also may completely remove the sail birds or possibly center them a little more. I have an extra set so im trying it out.

Looks good. More pics of the headlights possible? Also, where did you get the clear sidemarkers for the back?

Re: Some pics of my T/A (updated better quality pics)
I like alot of things on this car.... slammed, old school graphics, formula hood..
alot of other cool things you have done. BUT
U need to dump the exhaust pipes.....put some turndowns or something. man they stick out like a turd in a punch bowl. JMO, but overall I love the car.

Re: Some pics of my T/A (updated better quality pics)
Thanks to all for the complements
You mean Trans am hood
Yeah I have a complete muffler setup with stainless 4thgen SS style tips I think they may go a bit better with the flow.
Car got so low because of 2" drop springs , interior shots will have to wait as it is a complete mess.

Here's a shot with my friends Turbo Grand prix. My car was actually pretty dirty in this pic but it hides well.

Re: Some pics of my T/A (updated better quality pics)
Outstanding pics, love the headlight conversion, just started having problems with my headlights poping up, if you can clue me in on your conversion process, would greatly appreciate it. my car was stored for so long, having little problems come up, like the multi-purpose relays on driver firewall, check engine light was coming on sporatically, engine ran terrible, but found the problem on this forum, those 2 little relays....Car runs great now. looking to change out the rear, the 3:27 gears gotta go,want 3:73's All 88 GTA'scome with the australian 9 bolt which is not upgradable. Need a camaro 10 bolt to get it down. Know of one around?.

Re: Some pics of my T/A (updated better quality pics)
i like how it says pontiac on the air dam ive never seen that before and is very unique and is your headlight cover off a 91 or 92 firebird and im not sure but are your headlights actually meant to be fog lights? I think ive seen them at auto zone or napa

Re: Some pics of my T/A (updated better quality pics)
On the donor front side skirts I got were from a GTA. They too were two seperate pieces. Maybe the early 85-86's got these air dams? I looked under the car and it appears to be factory. I do like the one piece better thats for sure.

Re: Some pics of my T/A (updated better quality pics)
I agree...I think the one-piece looks hot. I was just confused like I mentioned because my 88 GTA came with a 3-peice vice the one peice. Do you have pictures of how it looks under the nose of your car. I may have to go out and search for a one-piece setup in the near future.

That is a very nice lookin' Car
And that is THE best hood for a Thirdgen Bird, had to put one on my own.

Re: Some pics of my T/A (updated better quality pics)
what 2" drop springs are those?
WRT to the air dam, the early TA's got a one piece that attached to body work that attached to the bottom of the rad support, the later ones got the 3 piece, where the center piece attached straight to the rad support without the body piece, and when that piece came out it replaced the earlier style in GM's inventory because it dipped down farther, was more rigid worked better (the cars ran cooler) and I'm sure was cheaper (I think it might have been the same PN as the camaro one also).

Re: Some pics of my T/A (updated better quality pics)
Was a nice day so I decided to snag a few pics (first of the season), got a new camera but have not figured it out 100%. Car was slightly dirty but clean enough. This is a summer DD and it gets driven like it should be
