Where would one go abought getting the parts needed to go from a formula to t/a? I'm intrested in turning my 89 into a t/a, with a 4th gen wing. A list of all the parts, where to find them, and priceing ideas, would be awesome.

if you want to put the T/A ground effects on your car(which is the only ground effects avaliable.)There is only 1 more that i have seen that look terrible. i have looked everywhere belive me. I had a 85 firebird with the regular body and bought a non running 89 t/A just for the ground effects. It was so much work putting them on and i would of never done it if i were to do it again but thats up to you. hard part of it is you have to drill holes in your quarter panels to make them fit they don't just snap on, the ground effects near the door (the bottom.) you have to weld a brace on there so when you step on them they don't fall right off. those are the hardest parts and there very time consuming but the ground effects is the best looking thing i have done to my car yet. i can tell you the full process of doing if just PM me i would be happy to help.

Hey neighbor! I think your car looks great without GFX. When I buy a bird it will have to be a Formula. They look mean as ----. So i'm voteing for no GFX.

GFX looks badass. but if i ever buy another bird (and its not a TTA) it will be a formie. no GFX is my vote. hell, swaping your engine into a non-running TA might be less dificult
wheels would be where my money goes. the wheels you have now have got to go!
