Pics of my new 1991 Trans Am

I bought this car from a friend in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and brought her home with me to West Monroe, Louisiana. She is a 1991 with a 350 TPI engine and has lots of mods already. Im had the windows blacked out this past weekend. Ive got silver faced gauges on order and a set of new tail lights on order. Im very happy with this car, she drives and runs great. Im also going to move the Trans Am lettering on the back, back down on the bumper and move the WS6 emblem over to the pass. side. What do yall think of her?

Here is some pics taken this past sunday the day after I had her tinted. She has 5% on the sides and back and 35% on the windshield. You cant see in her for nothing. LOL

That is my dads White 350 TPI White 1991 Z28 in the background which only has 50,000 miles. :hail:

Looks nice. The only thing id do (simply my own opinion) is id lose the Bird on the hood... With the vents there, it seems out of place on that car.

Why are you ordering another set of tailights? Something wrong with those? You keeping those too?

Very nice car. I am getting a black hood bird like yours on my white car. I like the way it looks with the "nostril" hood. I have that hood too. Nice tint and everything else. How many miles?

Very Nice TA. Hopefully after I get my new intakes runners i will polish them. Your engine looks great.

I have a 91 GTA. I love the 91-92s. In my opinion they are the best looking.

Nice car man!
I'd lose the bird......
I do love the 91-92 birds..... I am a little biased as well.

Take care of her! They are getting harder and harder to find!
