I agree with Mr. Z06. Perhaps the best question to ask yourself is "what do I *not* have to change on my car?" Less is more. Changing too many things can cause the car to look tacky. I've always felt that regardless of car manufacturer, you really have go above and beyond the factory's design to make something look good. What have I done to change my car's exterior? Nothing.

Just my opinion.

 

i agree with that but some changes are nice, i do like the stock thirdgen apperance. still cool to have one that stands out a little more then others.

pwd by chevy what type of wing do u have lowflyin what kind is urs. also pwd can u give me the directions on to how u did ur headlights?are they brite? expensive?

 

My biggest change it my Knight Rider bumper. Pics are on my website, last page at the bottom.

 

Where did you get that overflow bottle.... and does it recirculate. I have a moroso that doesnt recirculate and I hate it. Thanks

i've got some cool mods

 

decide what you like ,dont care what others tell ya what looks good, enjoy making your car YOURS! have fun

 

d00d your car is sweet man

 

the inside

 

d00d thats too cool

 

As you all know I modified my front bumper a bit, just to be different than the rest of the non gfx birds out there.







Depending on how it goes, I should have the front and rear bumpers finished before winter.

 

does mine have gfx. I can't really tell since your care doesn't seem to be different from mine. Look at my signature. That little plastic thing thats under the car came off a while back due to my driveway being too much of a slant.

 

Yeah your car has gfx. I'd replace that..you lost the air dam and it brings air to our engines to cool them down.

 

Hurry up already!!! I LOVED that pic of your bird in gunmetal (silver?) with the modified front cover and slammed to the ground. :drool:

 

Not really custom, but certainly not stock, I've redone just about everything on the car. My web site has many more pics...

Front:


Back:

 

I'm going to have to tone down the styling quite a bit because of money issues. I'm going to attempt to fill it in. There is currently a headlight fitment issue with it. I guess I could get 91-92 bird lights to make it easier.

 

Shaved Door Handles, Antenna and Side Molding
SS Hood
JSP Spoiler
Billet Grill
Lowered
The Amber light delete, all white lights
Projector Headlights
1980-81 Z28 Fender Vents
Custom Paint (Blue & Green Mix)

I'm sure something is missing from the list above....

 

Very similar to my setup, except I have one guage in the center and two under each of the two 3 3/8's gauges. That and I made mine out of sheet metal, and used autometer phantom series gauges. Is that the plate that summit is selling now? Mine turned out not as good as I would like and I was thinking about picking that up.

 

Mr.Z06, what size are you wheels?

 

Tribaldaze>i gotta say i luv the art on the side of your car, i even got a pic of it on my site. u got any more pics of your car?

 

MAN that is the sickest camaro i haver ever seen it looks like it just going to take off and fly around how you do that with the wheels and what kind of wheels are does oh you should paint the wheels gold and then paint your car green i think it would looks better that way j/k still sweet ride

 

1981 Z28 Fender Louvers..SS Hood....and Shaved Antenna....

 

How about a Dixie horn, same as the one on the General Lee.

I will let you know that I am working on something that will blow everyones mind away. Soon as I get it installed I will post.

Here is a hint: Installing one componet that will eliminate many and this will be able to control basically everything on the car.

 

a person who lives in your car and knows everything about vehicles??

 

You know, that OTP nose reminds me so much of "Knight Rider", probably because of the way its elongated compared to a stock TA nose.

The way its designed should provide more downforce on the front as well. Not sure how that will affect the balance of the car, but it will make a difference at high speeds. I don't see much effect at speeds below 120mph

 

custom gta door panels:

 

Take a look at my website...pics and customizing info!

If we are *only* going to talk about the exterior.. here is the list.

***
4th gen style Ram Air II hood
4th gen style rear wing
4th gen rims
4th gen rear
4th gen Trans Am logo on doors
2001 Plymouth Prowler Orange paint

viola... thats it... for the exterior

I wonder why Fatal88 hasn't chimed in yet. There is certainly enough custom work on that car.

What he said........ mostly



It's the only pic I have of my car as of right now, sorry, but you get the idea. See sig for engine mods.

 

like it, hate it, whatever I needed the space and i hope nobody else has this GTA 4"cowl hood as it was made for me. Oh, got the 4th gen interior too from a 98 bird, but that is getting beat to death so I won't bother with those pics.

 

I like the light up center piece in the tail light section. Can anyone give a disc. of how you do that? doesnt seem like it would be that hard. Would make a nice tech article. Let me know.

3.1EyeCandy SWEET door panels!!! They look like they should of been there!! Trust me thats a lot coming from me, because I am really bias to things that are stock appearance wise.

Kevin

 

MY IROC

 

EyeCandy those r some nice door panels. Ive been wanting to get some ALL black door panels for my GTA but i cant seem to find any. Did u do those urself? also if u can tell me how please send me a pm. everyone elses cars are really nice. its great to see people with some ingenuity.

 

I lost almost every single pic of my car in a hard drive crash. If anyone has any of mine post em up!

The only real "custom" mod other than like hood and wheels is I changed up the formula bumper to accomodate TA foglights. Makes for a really sweet look.

 

 

omg that otp hood is crazy i went to that site i think that body kit is amazing i would buy it in a second but its not in english.

 

The black ones are tough to find. My 87 TA came with the black ones, and Redraif bought a set off of Ebay, but those are about the only ones we've run across. They're not too common in any color, but black seems to be the least common. Redraif's 87 Firebird (base model car) came with the gray molded panels like that, strangely enough, but hers didn't have the map pocket (factory manual window car).

 

Mines black and has a motor then everyone copied me... oh well ...

 

heres my shaved antenna..

 

Powder coated IROC rims

 

nevermind...my pics are outdated.

 

Pics of the new intake!

old...

Omg, in my toyota my girlfreind always called it the o shet bar, when i would go drifting in dirt :P
