This is most likely how my car is going to look. I still plan on doing the TA front. I used 88WS6TAs for this photoshop.

I'll send you a copy of it later, since I would have to drop your car in the picture again because the one I did, I took the groundeffects off.

Title wasn't really that sarcastic. I was thinking that the TA front may have been a little to low and flared out on the sides. I am wondering if I can do something to the side groundeffects, to give me that lower front end look, but make it kind of blend in better.
Basically, I am wondering if I can take the flare out of the sides, then it would be perfect.

it looks good in the picture.
In person, that's another issue. There was a guy around here with a base firebird, but with a TA front bumper and hood. It looked retarded.
If you're going to do it... put all of the TA ground effects/bumpers on.

I would go with the ground f/x all the way around. The color and stance looks nice, but I think the shadow under the door fools the eye. Make you not notice the side ground f/x missing. Just my .02 cents.

i think the car looks fine, the color is cool and being dropped like that makes it that much better. i think the car looks fine.

You know what, I am going to put the rear ground effects on too. I know 91-92 Camaro side skirts would look good.
I love the look of my car with no ground effects from the rear, but at any other angle I think my car just looks plain, especially since I don't have the aero wing, T-tops, or a different hood. Gfx will make my thirdgen look a little less generic.
The kicker is, although I will be getting TA gfx now, I don't want it too look exactly like a TA. I wonder how the pre 91 Iroc Gfx would look with the TA gfx?
