Should I put them on the Formula since my Formula is already wired up with the pattern for these lights?
They are pretty big too, got them sitting on my bedroom floor.

 

probably wouldnt look good on your car, you should send them to me

 

Ok. since I am a nice guy, what's your address?

 

Pics?

I'd say put them on the Formula until your T/A is running.

 

put em on the t/a dont mess around and put them on just to put them on... then you will have a set of firebird tails sitting around

 

I've got the T/A ones on the Formula now.

Here are the new ones,

 

they look great man! keep the old t/a tails on the formy and wait for the t/a to be ready... that way you save the best for last!

 

The Trans Am doesn't look bad with the Standard lights though.
I think it's the wheels, spoiler and color that help it out,

 

i must say i love your wheels man and you should def wait until the car is painted and working to put the 91/92 t/a tails on there

 

Always loved the 91/92 GTA tail lights.

Zepher, I do believe you are even more of a computer nut than I am! I've only got two monitors on a desk. ^_^

Though I do have three more computers in the house. One is old, and out of comission till I find a use for it. The other is serving as the family room pc right now. And then there is my multimedia work station. Took 3 years to assemble the way I want it. Scanner, Digital Camera, Video in/out, photoshop, movie editing, dual monitors for 3d work, mp3 server for my home theater, etc....does lots of things.

 

Hey, IF you don't mind me asking.....what do you do for a living???

You seem to have electronics all over the place.....way off topic i know...

 

I work in video and graphics. Do freelance work.
There are actually 2 computers on my desk. 1 monitor for the left computer and 2 for the one on the right.
The computer on the floor (bottom left in picture) is an Amiga 3000T which just sits there now.

 

Good lookng lights, I am the odd ball out though, I like the older ones better than the newones. I really wish there was some aftermarket choices though.

You desk looks like mine, two 17 on my main computer, programming and graphics, and a 15 in on my Linux box, for software testing and compiling. I have another 15 I use when I build computers for testing. When I have visitors, they all say doesn't that noise bother you, I'm like what noise, I am so use to white noise, I probalby couldn't do without. LOL

I also have a cash register right now that I am setting up for a store. everones like why do you have a laser scanner on you desk LOL I like to see that more and more car people that are into computers also.

 

Those tails look great, they are my favorite ones for Birds.

Lets keep it on topic though guys

 

The new tailights look gr8! i always thought the 91-92 GTA tailights were cool. Buy the way, those wheels on the T/A look gr8 2!

 

They look really really really famliar. Where did you get them at Manny?

Kat

 

Is one side more worn then the other or is it just the flash? I want to put those on, but I can never find a mint set.

 

I got them from a guy named Joe down in North Carolina. He had them on Ebay. MDFormula was bidding on them as well.
The "PONTIAC" lettering is worn out on one side and I'll probably get a decal to fix it. I am thinking a Black decal that is reflective and shines Silver.

I am seriously thinking about parting out the 86 T/A and buying this 87 GTA rolling chassis and putting the LT1 into that.
It has subframes, full suspension upgrade for road racing, hard top, great body, crosslace wheels, digital dash, and a 9bolt with 3.45 gears.

 

Will you ever be sastisfied????

Lights look great, I think I like the older style though

 

Probably not.
I need about $60,000 to get the car the way I want it and I don't see that happening anytime soon.
The drivetrain I really really want to get is the LT5 with ZF-6 with a pair of Turbos on it. That is about $30K or more.
I can picture my car in my head the way I want it and it is totally badass.

 

nice taillights

 

everybody wants to be like me :lala:



out of curiosity, what did you pay?

 

You like them MD?

I paid $238 for my set.

 

I think the 86 would look good with the earlier standard grid taillights.

I think you need to get the 86 at least presentable because the T/A is already awesome and I wanna see it running on the road again.

Oh, and as for being a computer geek, you should see my room/house. Four desktop computers in my room (2 PC and 2 Macintosh), a PC laptop and a Mac laptop, another computer I put in my bro's room and another computer I put downstairs, and about 20 half-gutted computers in my closet. I'm actually quite pathetic.

 

I am confused by that statement.
The 86 is the T/A.

And it's for sale.

 

hey-we should swap pieces!!

 

Better pic.

 

Ya, we should.
I'll take the plain one.

 

Hey, that's who I got my 91-92 GTA tails from. His eBay name is "snowbelow." He is on the TGO boards under the name "Bird-dog". I actually met Joe last week when he brought my new driver's door up from North Carolina. Super nice guy.

I just wanted to recommend him, as he went WAY out of his way to keep me happy as a customer. Here is a link to the story:

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=190012

 

That's who it is. I recommend him as well. Great guy to work with.

 

I know.. I'm saying the 86 is awesome and I wanna see it on the road again... how come you're selling it?

 

I agree with FyreLance, I'd love to see your ta back on the road again too. It's come a long way from when it was maroon and black. I remember watching that vid of you tearing down the street in it, no spoiler, white hood and all!

 

I still have that video. You don't know how many times I watched that video, and video's of other thirdgens tearing it up during the 7 months I couldn't drive my car because of the cracked block. Took time to get the money and once I did get the money together I didn't have the time to work on it.

But now that I have my GTA up, I'm still working on the damn thing. Project indeed.

 

I found an 87 GTA Hard Top that I want to put my motor into.
So I am selling the car and the parts off of it.
$1500 takes the entire car, minus the drivetrain.

 

Me too

 

You say its set up for rd racing does it have a cage and all. What about complete interior all done?

 

It has the chassis and suspension only. No cage at the moment.
Full interior with 2 sets of seats.
I am going to take pictures of it tomorrow.

 

good ol stick.....lol me and my friend were workin with a hockey stick for a while...works good

 

speaking of 91-92 tails...does anybody know of any way to replace/repair the grid in them? After much sun damage they peel off from the inside.

And were all the 91-92 "PONTIAC" lettering red? Mine is just the gold inner part. Then again they need some restoring. Can we buy the red lettering part by chance?

 

i've got a set of the older grid style lights on ebay...from my 86
you can just search for my ebay name...same as my post name here

hey zepher...a guy on mafba is trying to rebroker our deal.


haha

 

N8MAN1068 Let me guess.... Raven?

Back to topic now, Zepher I think you should get a set of these taillights, oh nm then you would have a Camaro


j/k mang

 

Raven is trying to sell you the hood? I was going to sell the black one and I gave him pictures of both.
The formula one is still yours.
I think I am keeping the 86. I was looking at her today and I think I have changed my mind. Car looks so mean with the OZ's.

 

That would look nice. Do you plan to remove all the original PONTIAC letters before applying the decal or just lay the decal over?

 

Probably just go over the lettering since the original looks like it's painted on.
