Not a fan of the ram air anything on these cars. voted cowl (bump).

Not much on red interiors either but, those seats are pretty sharp looking.
Were they stock or did you hve them redone ?

Stock hood, new rims, and new interior color. Red on maroon is beat IMO.

I dont know if a ram air ii hood goes too well with that spoiler. RA2 is my favorite. I dont know about clear side markers on a 82-90 firebird, works for a camaro since the front blinkers are clear on camaros.

I think cowls are for Chevys!
Go the Ram Air One style, looks good on the Trans Ams!
The Ram Air Two looks killer on fourth gens, too big on thirds gens, I feel.
But hey, go with what you like! Don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

yes indeed no new hood or interior because that interior rocks!
I love the two tone and it looks pretty mint. I like your rims too but maby the gold gta style would go better with the burgundy.
