Did you forget to shut down your right lamp completely? (joke )

Looks fine; good to see these crappy old door decals are gone...

Im not super daup keen on the year, i think the best thing ive seen on the firbirds is 4th gen emblems, i think they match the 3rd gen birds quite well.

i think that having two "Trans Am" logos on the doors is a bit repetitive. just my opinion. I just noticed your from Poland! My parents are from Poland too!!

pecha: looks good man! I noticed your taillights look to have a separate orange/yellow turnsignal, that true? I didnt think the grid style taillights had that. I thought they were all red lights with the intergral signals. Are your lights like this?
R-red, W-white, Y-yellow
R Y R W W R Y R

quick6: Sweet!! How you do that? Just find the emblem and glue it on?

Hi,
Although my car was bought in U.S. it has the same style taillamps as Pecha's one, and it doesn't look like DIY stuff; perhaps these're Canadian design lamps?

Yeah, the year part doesn't look good to me. The TA on the side isn't that bad though.

They look okay, a little big though and I don't like the "1988" part.

I've seen worse though. Nice car overall.

I know that it's a bit repetitive to have "Trans Am" written 6 times on your car however bare in mind that I had enough of comments like
"wow look at this car! what is it?"
or
"that's a nice corvette, man"
now I'm gonna hear
"wow Trans Am"
ppl just don't know what they're talking about and I know it's hard to believe but in my town (population 75000) I have the only Trans Am
4th gen emblems
they DO look cool on 3rd gen but decals like mine where hell of a cheap (around $15)
Taillights
I bought my car like that so I don't know where they came from
But it's unlawufl in Poland to have red turn signal and that's why sb made it yellow. as for me I'd stay with original ones.
Thanks for all the good words
and thank YOU z_power as these pictures where made by your camera:hail:

Personally, I think its too many, of course this is coming from a guy that doesn't want a single decal, sticker, or emblem on his car.





Looks alright too me.

Most irocs have the iroc on the car 6 times......

(2 doors, 2 side rocker panels, 1 on the rear, 1 on the dash)

The picture of the 4th gen emblems are on 86Fyrbrd's old car, he put them on there, so you might try contacting him. The car is now owned by Sonarun I believe.

The 4th gen Badges are $12-15 per side from the dealer, not bad really. I've got 2 sets, one red and one black since I didn't know what color I was going to paint the car.
