Seeing as they seem to be the most unappreciated years, here's a thread that's soul purpose is to broadcast some love for these banshee nosed b****es. Post away!
I had one on there from 99 until 2007? Off and on... Got pulled over for not having it on the car and had to put it back on to get the fix-it ticket dismissed. The only good part about Kansas DMV is no front plates, but I still need to fill the holes and do a real repaint on the front bumper cover.
I got my "temporary" wheel setup on. 19x10 w/ 305 square. I have a set of 19x11s going on but need to machine the centerbore.
Ooh ooh, what size tires are those? That looks like a little less sidewall than I would ideally like, but it is looking like I am going to be forced to run a 19 with the brake package I am getting. Tire size is limited in a 26" diameter.
My 06/92, 52k miles, Dark Aqua Metallic, born as a 3.1 V6, now a 95% conversion to a 5.0 V8 from front to end, only missing piece is the rear end. It`s still on the bench for rebuild, 10 Bolt posi with 3.23 gears and PBR brakes from a 92 GTA. For now I have to drive the V6 open diff with drums, after conversion to the posi the car is a 100% Trans Am clone. Pics are from 2018, interior isn't grey anymore, now it's black. I pieced together a mint interior from four 91/92 parts cars.
Some beautiful cars you fellas have. It seems that because the 91-92's have such a specific appreciation, the people who modify them always seem to do it tastefully, as shown by you guys. Also J.C., I told Drew that that blue looks way better with black GTA's, but I think your pics proved me wrong. Beautiful car
There are a couple glossy B&W 8.5x11s and full color slides of the white 91 Formula poster car that I don't have in my collection. The best photo I have is the 1990 auto show folder. It's like the paperboard file folders you'd have in your Trapper Keeper circa 1990. Can only go so big with a scan before it starts to lose resolution. Should be able to enlarge the slide a lot without losing clarity.
Not my slides... That was a batch of stuff on Ebay. It was 99% full Pontiac line-up, and the seller was not giving it away. I'm not sure if that lot sold or not. The 1991 Pontiac full line-up binder is pretty awesome in it's own right too, but I gotta be careful about blowing hobby funds on documentation. I've got a ton of 91 Firebird promo stuff already, and it has limited utility.

Had those in my album. Don't know from where. 1992 I believe
The stuff is out there, but I draw the line well before the asking prices of some vendors. I'll sometimes pay $40 for photos, and a product book, but when it breaks a hundo I'm out. LOL
Those Bonneville's were sweet. My dad had a 90' SSE in white with the gold rims, and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world
I'm with ya. My parents had a new SSEi in 1997 (different style than the one pictured, though). Pewter with gold crosslace wheels and black leather. Supercharged 3.8, sunroof, HUD, LOADED. What an awesome car for the time! My mom got a new Park Ave Ultra every 2 years, and my Dad changed it up that one year, in 97. Then in 1998 it got traded off for another Park Ave Ultra lol. They loved the supercharged 3.8 engine
So many beautiful cars here... And I HATE that we have to have front license plates in germany with no exception. Absolutely no way to get rid of them like in some states in the US. Driving without will cost you a lot... And it is always a fight to get the small rectangular plates, especially on the front. I was lucky getting them, normally no way, they are normally reserved for small motorcycles. Driving with the normal german looooong 520mm wifth x 110mm height plates looks... well... ugly...

mines goin on the dash when I get the bumper redone. Car doesn’t get run a lot. Been that way on my 4th gen for 3 years now. Hasn’t been an issue. It’s a stupid law

I think that one's been on ebay for a long time. I remember seeing it a few years ago for that price. Seems a bit high to me. I have one, but I didn't pay that much for it. Drew, you should post some of your memorabilia that we haven't seen in the thread I created to show off the stuff floating around for our cars.
Didn't think this thread would get this much attention, this is awesome. I don't know about you guys but I get pretty frisky when I see any third gen in public, but good lord when it's a 91-92 Firebird..
