that is one of the saddest pathetic looking trans ams i have ever seen in my entire life...

i hope he did it as a joke and not in seriousness but at the same time i know he did it thinking it was cool bc im sure it cost him

the double decker spoiler looks like hell
the tacky rattle can sprayed flame on the side that doesnt match the paint on the fender even down to the huge RED bird that looks rattle canned on

forgot to mention those sweet hood scoops +40hp
YESSSSS VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM

go buy a civic if you wanna waste your money like that leave the domestics in particularly the thirdgens alone

*i know its not yours eagle i just thought id raid my anger*

i do like the kit myself, but as yall have stated the paint looks like ****. I think that with a good paint scheme then it would look sharp, minus the spoiler.

Wow, body kit looks nice. Paint scheme needs a lot of work...

In my opinion, the only two tone paint schemes that work are those older ones where they had one colour on the top of the car and the white/silver on the rocker panels.

Double wing? Interesting solution to the cracking and warped GTA spoiler thats for sure. Draw the attention away from the junk underneath to the blatantly obvious eyesore on top of it.

I'd rather see a stock firebird spoiler on it than a double wing. Fake hood scoops are useless weight and extra drag, why put them on when the engine isnt even in the back??

Well other than that, I wish there was some clearer pictures of the body kit, i'd like to see what it looks like in a brighter colour like red or white so I could actually see the vents etc on it.

Well, as the first post says, interesting personality, it's unique to say the least. Ditch the extra wing and the roof scoops, and clean up the paint job, im sure it would look mean like the body kit intends.

He put the roof scoops over his t-tops. Genius.

I bet that car is really fast.
Two spoilers (the bigger the better): +10hp
Two roof scoops: +20hp
Body kit: +40hp

There's 70hp worth of upgrades to his car already, and that's only what we can see.

A guy in his guestbook actually said: alot of hp you got there.

Hey, all I have to say when it comes to "ugly" cars is, you can knock people's tastes, but not how they spent their money and own efforts

What the hell is wrong with that guy? Its like somebody gave a r!ceboy a Trans Am for free, so he made it look as much like a r!cemobile as possible. He may as well swap a 4 cylinder POS in there too.

Anyone notice that the big wing is bolted directly to a factory rubber spoiler?

Oh yeah, thats a solid way to mount a big wing!!!

Here is a picture of my 82. Someday the ground fx will be removed (if they don't fall off). I installed them 10 years ago.

^^You have had that setup for a while now and I have complimented you in the past, it looks nice and clean. But the firebird, it just screams tacky! Maybe if he lost the second wing and screaming chicken the paint might look a little bit better and not make the car look busy. Also, a better set of wheels might do the trick too. I am not even going to comment about the "air ducts" on the t-tops

The only other ones that I am aware of are the Subaru WRX rally hood ducts that people put on their roofs. Besides some exotics that might have this option, I think I have never ever seen another car on the road or internet with working airducts in the roof! Must get cold in the winter

Of course it is. That's the RAAC. Ram-air Air Conditioning!

Adds 10HP and loses 15lbs.
