That body kit doesn't really match the lines of the firebird. It looks like a firebird that someone tried to make look like a Trans-AM.
Cheap and body kits usually produce one result when put together. Crappy body kits.

I've actually seen it in person. It does not look too bad when you do a lot of custom work. But if you just leave it stock and add that it looks bad. A buddy of mine had it on his 87 and it took a lot of work to get it to match up right. After that and some other little things it started to look good but not great.

hey trans am, i really hate to break this to u, but that is the exact deffinition of a "BODY" kit.
anyways, it basically makes it look like a camaro, like some fool bought a firebird thinking it was a camaro then decided instead of buying a camaro he'd just make his bird look like one.

Though its does have a camaro TA look but a TA is a just a Firebird.
Its GM's fault but the Firebird is the main competitor for the Camaro, because they said " leave the poor Vette alone" Firebird was to be a Vette killer.
They had a good show on TV about the Pontiac division and how really different they are or were. Firebirds might as well been a Ford.
Its Firebird /TA against Camaro \Irco.
Whole reason Pontiac dropped the TTA cause it used a Buick motor, they did tweak it some but could not stand having Buick parts in it? But will let Chevy force engines on them? The 3.8 was a better motor.
There is no love in the GM brands. Pick your side and stand your ground.
Buick, Pontiac, Olds, then Chevy for me.
