91 bird w/ camaro aero gfx pics inside!

Whats up . . .this months project is complete . . .to some degree, I still have to make some adjustments (the gfx an the doors aren't sitting properly right now, but I slapped them on anyway-I couldn't wait ) so, here are the pics, let me know what you think
here are some before and after pics . . .

the camaro spoiler is pretty cool. I like the 91-92 bird ground fx better....

all in all the new look is pretty cool.

I love the spoiler.

Not a fan of everything else. I prefer the stock look.

I think I'm the opposite. I hate the spoiler and I'm curious about the gfx. I've wanted to swap to the earlier style gfx (but keep the aero front bumper) for quite awhile just haven't been able to decide if i like it enough. I'd think that would look better with another spoiler though.

Why do you have the base style tailights?

someone beat me to it.

On a 92 firebird, t/a, it would work good. I'm probably going with 92 camaro gnd efx with my 92 bird if i paint it someday.

This setup doesnt work well on my 86, already tried. Doesn't match the car nor is it as easy to put on. But, for a 91-92, it is a great choice.

I like it...looks far better than the 92 gnd efx. I would ditch the camaro spoiler and save up for a 4th gen style spoiler and ram air II hood.

And i would have kept the 92 rear bumper and rear gnd efx. Doesnt match up just like my 86.

I think it is a firebird, not a gta. My 92 firebird has these tailights.

I cringe when I see that hood/spoiler combo. Way too tall IMO. But if ya like it...

The rear bumper has the gfx built into the ends so it has that foldover edge along with the rear quarter gfx. Wouldn't match up at all...

It's got the 16" crosslaces, TA hood, leather? He's got GTA in the profile? Huh...weird. I just assumed

actually, after looking at the pics, the 85-90 rear bumper looks good with the 92 front bumper, 92 camaro ground effects. It wouldnt look good with a 85-90 front bumper.

My 86 had the aero wrap around spoiler. The 4th gen style looks like an upgraded one of them. It looks very good. I dont know just got used to having a spoiler back there. Haven't bought a hood yet.

I like the thirdgen aero spoiler. I had an 87 formula before my 91 and loved the look of it. The 4thgen one just looks too tall to me.

ok, but we both agree the camaro spoiler isnt working here. I think camaro has side pieces on the fenders that match up to the spoiler? I dont see them here.

GFX are pretty decent looking with the '91-'92 nose. The rear spoiler is needing some attention. Original yes, but no where near the style the car needs to blend everything together. Your color scheme is cool with the paint and the rims, the stripe is pretty much the same as mine except for the stripe in the middle. But all in all, we just have opinions, it's his car. Well done bud, keep it up!

it probably would look alright but the side pieces wont work. They would have to be custom made.

Pic is from hawks

ITS A GTA! I just put my dads lights on to pass inspection and had them on when I took the pics-the original lights are being customized(another project)

not a fan of the aero wing . . .I'm trying some different things w/ the appearance to spice things up a bit . . .
