You'd probably have better luck with a title like, images of 85-90 base Firebirds with GFX, because they'll look like Trans Ams, except they'll have flat hoods. I'd think there are several members here who probably have such cars, but here are a couple of pictures I found by searching online.

Re: 85-90 trans am with base model hood
The pictures you are looking for are of base model 1989/1990 Firebirds with the RPO W68 Sport Appearance Package. It's a base model Firebird with the dress up pieces from the Trans Am/GTA. Front and rear bumper covers, fog lights, and lower ground effects but the base model Firebird hood and rear spoiler.
My favorite stock hood based on outside appearance only is the 82 to 84 Trans Am and 87 to 92 Formula offset power bulge hood. I also like the idea of making it functional on a carbureted or TBI engine using the pieces from the earlier Trans Ams. It's my least favorite hood based on me sitting in the driver's seat with everything adjusted to my preferred driving position in the driver's seat. I'm 5'10" and prefer a laid back driving position and the offset power bulge is in my sight line and I don't care for that.
So my actual favorite stock hood is the plain jane base model hood. I like it's smooth clean lines and the fact it's not in my sight line when I'm in the driver's seat in my preferred driving position.
I can't stand the center front vents of the 85/86 Firebird SE hood or the 85/86 Trans Am and 87 to 92 Trans Am/GTA hood.
