Personally I think the 91-92 T/A's were one of the nicest f-bodies ever made. I love the design. However I wouldn't be able to tell you too go with gfx or not because I love the look of the 91-92 Formula's (came with no gfx) as well. So either way would look good to me. Do a search for some pics and decide which you like better. Good luck.

When I was shopping for my GTA, I didnt like the 91-92s I dont know why, just didnt think they look as mean I guess, plus I couldnt afford one. but after seeing some nice ones in person, man are they ever beautiful.....Ive always wanted a 91/92 Trans Am convertible.

Well as an owner of a 91 GTA..Id say for for the 91-92 everything..I had a 89 GTA and it just look to blocky for me to 80's, the 91-92s have a sleek new look that followed through to the 4th generation. I love it..I have a ASCD RA1 hood as well waiting to go on this spring. Those hoods look like they should have been on the car in the first place. What was GM thinking.

I am not fond of the GFX on the 91-92 since they look like rain gutters.

i like how 91-92 gfx look with an earlier trans am nose. the only thing i dont like about the gfx is if u park next to a high curb or grass the doors get stuck and if u try to move them the gfx snap off... i replaced mine 2 times both bc of my clumsy *** friends.

The only thing they are good for is collecting dust and dirt, If I ever decide to paint my bird I might just take them off.
