Firebird Spats (Might get a better response on this section)

Posted this in Detailing and Appearance, then I saw the Body section... so I posted here as well thing this would be the more proper place.

I love the 1988 Z20 SAP kit for these cars, honestly I don't know why they didn't make them in 82 and keep them till maybe 86 or 87 and transition to without or whatever, but point is... I love them.

Does anyone make them, have a set, fab'ed some up from 2nd Gen ones... anything??

If someone made a set or fab'ed some up I'd love to see them and make a set for my 90 'Bird (even though it's a T/A and has that ground effects package on it)... But I still want 'em. lol

I'd love it if classic industries or Hawk's made repos, and the spoiler as well, I'd love to have a duck tail style wing on the back of my T/A...

Re: Firebird Spats (Might get a better response on this section)

I like the looks also. I have a full set in storage. The spoiler is pretty roasted but I should be able to get a mold made off of it eventually if I ever get time.

I have the rear molds in my garage still. I've never used it yet though. I got wrapped in other projects. I still need to make molds of the front and spoiler.

I could have just installed all the stuff, but I was afraid of someone coming along and stealing it off the car. Being it took me around 10 years to track down all the pieces I don't want to risk it without being able to make more.

Re: Firebird Spats (Might get a better response on this section)

I *love* this kit. I think it's only b/c I like 2nd gen T/A's so much, and hate base model 3rd gen Firebirds so much. So basically, for me, this kit makes an otherwise ugly/boring car look nice. Wonder what it would look like with a shaker hood...but that would just be totally wrong on a base model.
