The title says it all so let's see them. I am redoing my 86 bird and I have a power bulge hood that I can use, but I don't currently have the money to buy the fiberglass wrap around spoiler. So I'm just curious if it would look funny with a powerbulge hood and base spoiler. I have only seen one on here. I don't know who it belongs to but It is dark gray with gray 17" tt2's. I think it is very sharp. So lets see them.

The 86 firebird did not come with powerbulge hood and only came with flat spoiler. I have a 87 Formula that has a powerbulge hood (vin on hood matches car) and a flat spoiler. Also has third brakelight on hatch. I was thinking it as repalced but had factory wiring going to it. ???? I think at that point there were the red headed step child of pontiac.

Yeah I know, I should have made myself more clear. My car has the flat hood and spoiler, but I have another hood that I purchased that is a powerbulge. I would like to make it look like a 1987-1990 formula. I loved those cars. I even have a set of the 16" cross lace rims that I am going to use as well. If I ever get a wrap around spoiler I am not going to use the third brake light in the spoiler and just use my third brake light on the hatch.

If I'm not mistaken, the 82-84 T/A's had the power bulge hood and the flat wing.

You're not mistaken. That's exactly how the original thirdgen TAs were designed: with the power bulge hood and the flat spoiler. That lasted through the 1984 model year.

Checkout the pic galleries for those years on TGO's homepage(in the left margin), and you should see plenty of pix like you're looking for:

Thanks guys keep them coming. There is one on here somewhere that Is dark gray with gray tt2's. It has a bird on the hood that flows over onto the fenders and doors. I would love to see more pics of it, but I can not find it anymore. You know how it is you see something a thousand time then when you go to look for it you can't find it

I actually had an 83 with a power bulge hood and base spoiler but I hated the hood and replaced it with an 85-90 TA hood, and added all of the 85-90 GFX. Just personal preference. I probably have pics of the car w/ the power bulge but that was before it got painted and upgraded so I don't want to make anyone throw up looking at them. LOL

I like the flat spoiler much more than the wrap around anyway. Go for it.

Oh my god I actually found the before and after pictures.

Here is "before". Base model 1983 V6 Firebird that someone added a bulge hood to:

After: I got rid of the bulge hood and swapped to an 85-90 TA hood, added 85-90 ground effects, did the body work, and paint myself in a garage w/ HVLP gun and a medium sized oil less air compressor. Also converted to V8.:

Here is mine. We got the hood at a junkyard for $100 If you can believe it, it's spray painted right now. There is definitly a difference in clarity when you get up to it, and it doesn't have the deepness from far away, but EVERYONE I tell is surprised that it's rattle-canned.

Hay thanks everyone, Thanks cooltc2004 that is the one I was looking for. I love that color and wheel combo. I hope to have my body done before spring.

I like the look of the base car with a powerbulge. I swapped my T/A hood for one. Now I want a fiberglass one, but can't seem to find one.
