I wouldn't put the Z28 high rise spoiler on a Trans Am.

And the ram air hood, sure, I think it would look good.

Keep the blue paint if your interior is blue. If your interior is grey, I'd go with the black paint with silver bottom.

I like the idea of black paint with silver lower, especially with black interior.

Blue exterior with black interior.....hmmmm....don't see it happening.

I think the black with silver at the bottom would look best. and I definatly think you should keep the fiberglass wing. z28 spoiler just doesn't look right an a TA. I think both hoods look good but I prefer the vented hood over the ram air hood.

The rear of the firebird is wider than than the camaro. So, the z28 high rise spoiler won't be a perfect for a firebird.

If you get the ram air ii hood, you almost have to get the 4th gen style spoiler. The reason I say both is because they both are taller than the stock parts. Just saying a tall hood matches well with a tall spoiler or vice versa.

I recommend painting it all one color and using no stickers/decals/emblems.

From the options you listed though, I choose ram air ii hood with 85-90 t/a spoiler, black with gray.
