don't do the 98 gfx or grille zeph, but the wing looks great, I put up a post a little while ago looking for pix of that spoiler on a firebird cause I thought it would look great, and I was right!!! Looks awsome, great looking car.

98 + noses do look cool as hell.........it would definately be different
........the spoiler looks good too...........and as far as different goes,I really hadda rub my eyes one day to make sure I was seeing straight........I saw the first Transmaro I've ever seen drive by me the other night. Apparently this guy has an 89 RS,but he got in a front end wreck and needed a new hood,nose,and both front q-panels.......so he went boneyard hopping and got some parts alittle cheaper
.......and what he bought was the entire front end from an 88-89 Trans Am.......so from the front it looked like a TA and from the back it was his RS.............and from the side........
.........anythings possible..............

That spoiler looks sweet on your 'bird Zepher. I would leave it just the way it is with the spoiler. That is to say I wouldn't make it any wider to fit the width of the body at the rear. Looks freakin' mean as hell like that with those hungry looking exhaust tips below it :rockon:.
I wouldn't do the 98+ nose though. 4thgen 'birds have more bulging curves than thirdgen 'birds, and that nose is designed for those bulges. The pic you photoshopped shows how it makes that nose look kinda fat, then the body seems to squeeze in in the middle. The only way to make that nose go with the rest of the body would be to give the body the same type of aggressive looking GFX treatment, including the rear bumper. That's just my .02 though. Why don't you try photoshopping the 93-97 TA nose on it. I always like the sharp lines of that nose. Maybe it'lll go great with the thirdgen 'bird body

hey guys i have an 89 firebird formula that is white and i took the wing off it. i think it looks awsome as hell and i plan on keeping it off any repainting my car. wut do u guys think that high rise spoiler would look like on a white formula and remember it has no ground effects. also wut would u do leave it without a spoiler?put an early non-wrap around firebord spiler on? or the high rise camaro spoiler?

I saw an 88 or 89 Formula painted a neat shade of blue with a High-rise Z28 spoiler on it down at the Moroso Drag strip a couple of years ago. It also had O.Z. Monte Carlo rims on it.
I thought it looked sharp!

The 93-97 nose is too sharp for me.
I love the fog lamps in the center, not too fond of them out on the side like they are now.
Everything I do is decided on money and the skill of my friends and myself. If I can't afford it or we can't do it, then it's a no go.

I like the 98+ nose on there, that would look kick azz, but you would have to put the side skirts on too!

I'm with Zepher about the nose... it's a good concept
That looks like a real nose, deadbird.
I remember that thread about 6 months ago or so.

Hey Zeph here's my opinions so I hope you don't mind. With the spoiler and wheels it reminds me of Karps car too much altho I really like it it doesn't seem "Zepher Unique". But to have seen your car without the spoiler it was just awesome! Especially right now with the import thing going on all the grocery getters even have spoilers now so want to be different leave it off! That's Unique and it looks great on your car.
I was going to leave the spoiler off but it jsut didn't look right from the rear or the side. If the decklid was flat and the rear bumper didn't stick out so much, it would have looked great.
Just wait till I do the nose, hood, dash, motor, turbos......

hey zepher do the nose swap one day. like if u enter it into a carshow i bet u would win for like a totally unique (or how ever u speel it) car. and plus u could fool alot of ricers and just people in general. personally if i had the money and time i get another thirdgen and try the swap of the 4thgen. oh well. good job zepher. also where are the hotchicks that pose on ur car? u gotta get the Joy chick back and have her pose when ur car gets painted. just today in skool i showed my friends ur siteand the girls and my friend was like lookin at joy's pics tryin to see if he sees any nipple. it was funny. also when u makin another video? i love the sound of ur car. well later.

Z28guy... I'll keep you in mind when I sh*tcan the camaro then 
Just a FYI.. the camaro wheels have bald tires ( I can't imagine why
) and the rubber on the GTA wheels is new so I swapped them for the winter since the 'bird really hasn't lot's of use for them at the moment.
Eventually the GTA wheels will find their way back home to the 'bird. I'll probably end up getting another set of half used tires for the camaro for $60 here soon. That all depends on if the motor holds out for another month or so

why don't you guys send a request away to some place like GT Auto or something to make that nose. I'm quite sure people would buy it...including myselfOriginally posted by Zepher

....when i get a car
.....SOON
I believe GT Auto is working on it. I did a photoshop job for one of his cars last year so he could see what it looked like.
It would be nice to have that nose bolt right up.
Now that I think about it, if they make it, everyone will have one, so, for me to be different, I should put a 4th gen 93-97 Camaro nose on my Trans Am.

Manny, you should have tricked GT into making the 93-97 nose and have a 98+ to yourself 

Well, it's too late now. I do want to have exposed headlights, don't really care for the pop-up style anymore.
Maybe I'll photoshop a Z nose onto my car and see how funky it looks.

Hey Stuart, I saw that post and replied in it awhile back.
Thanks Bluebird, I love the 91-92 camaro ground effects, the 91-92 Firebird ones look like rain gutters to me, and the 85-90 just looks too plain.

Even still, an excellent car. Make sure you do what makes you feel good.
I concure. but its your car. if you like the spoiler, keep it! Originally posted by Adam62083

In anycase, that 2-tone paint scheme i think gives it character. Just draw the lines out a little better, IMO it would looks sweet
