Finally back from paint..... only took 6 months!
Alright, i've changed pretty much every part on this car since the last time i posted pictures of it, so heres a list:
rear bumper (new aftermarket)
front bumper (new aftermarket)
left fender (new aftermarket)
right fender (new aftermarket)
drivers side door (used, light blue)
passengers side door (used, black)
rear spoiler (new fiberglass aftermarket)
and finally, here are some pics! I still need to get the plastic trim piece that goes around the brake light under the spoiler painted, so right now the spoiler is off the car...

Thanks man. Yeah, its the stock spoiler. The whole car is stock as far as looks go, except for the hood and the wheels. But yeah, I never really like the trans am bumper, for some reason i've always preffered the stock formula/base model firebird bumper

Looks great, six months is a long time to wait, but you got great results.
