notchback my gta

hey guys i was wondering do you think i should put a notchback on my 88 gta..... it would be technically correct because it was a one year only thing for the gtas.... i like how the fieros look with them and it would give it a similar effect on my trans am.. how do you think it would look on my car

Re: notchback my gta

Interesting project. Every so often I look at my wife's '94 Firebird and think that a 4th Gen Notch would be very interesting.

Fo your GTA, Keep in mind that there will be a few interior mods to do as well if you want to be accurate. If I remember correctly, the rear seats of the '89 TTA were the same as the '88 Notchback.

Check on gtasourcepage.com for some additional insight.

Good luck.

Gary.

I personally don't like the notchback look...i think your car looks awesome the way it is, but, its your car....
