Hey Dude12387 could you take a picture of it one of these days. I'd love to see what it would look like. Last year I was debating about puting it on my car but everyone said that it would look like crap. My friend had one on his '95 Z28 and it looked really good but still not too sure about the 3rd gens though. Well I'm glad to hear a positive response about this from a third gen owner.

hey 383...3rd gen years start from 82 and end at 92. fourth gen start at 93 and goes to current. what makes you think a 95 is a thirdgen? is it because you were misinformed, or do you know something all us on this board dont. let me know. take care

actually formula90, the 4th gens aren't til present. i believe the last 4th gen was a 98, and now the 5th gens are out at 99 til present.

I have to disagree w/ you there camaro22 b/c the only time they go into a new generation of any car is when the completely change the body style and engine options and all that crap which = out to a whole new car.

No, 98+ are not 5th gens, they are still 4th gens. The 98+s got a new nose, but hardly anything else changed to make a new generation.
4th gens are 93-Present!

i dont know if im right, but i thought the only reason they put the new nose on the 98+ cars was to clear the new LS1's height.

just a thought

someone post a pic of what a GTS solar wing wood look like on a thirdgen.

thanks

STL1994..
I like that thought..but maybe they just changed it up cause it just looks so much better. the ls1 engine did not come in every 1998+ cars. Dont forget about the V6 guys! Pontiac is known for body changes during a production line run during a generation. Look what they did to our thirdgens during 91&92. check out my site below then go to photos on the nav bar, and click on the pontiac banshe link on the bottom. it is said that this car influenced pontiac to change the bumper covers to give a more "aero" look. Not euro, but aero. Oh well...lets enjoy the last generation of the fbody...2001 is the last year. although that is speculation, and I might be jumped for saying that, but damn guys, lets hope I am wrong. what a shame....
