My '88 "KARR inspiration" Trans Am

Hi.

I'm new to the site. I'm 31 and I live in France. Ofcourse, I'm a 3rd Gen fan.
I also love Knight Rider....I love the way this car looks!

I own a 1988 Trans Am with the 305 TBI since 2004. I've often read this forum but I've never took the time to suscribe. Now, I'd realy like to be part of your "family" and introduce you my car.

Stock look:

Re: My '88 "KARR inspiration" Trans Am

You have a beautiful donor car.

Yeah, I'll do a two tone KARR exterior replica but on 19" rims .
And for the interior, I plan a 4th season dash with KARR voice box.

So, as you can see, I don't want to do a perfect replica of KITT or KARR but a KNIGHT RIDER inspired.
