Tail light styles..see inside->

I am trying to make a complete and accurate visual representation of tail light styles for firebirds. Please review and suggest corrections and additions.

THIS IS THE NEW PICTURE WITH BELOW SUGGESTIONS INCORPORATED

I THINK that the 91-92 tailights for both the T/A & GTA were the same.

I looked at a T/A convertible with the third set of tailights

The T/A and GTA from 91-92 both used the two piece lights.

Everything else is right except the first set. Base Firebirds from 82-85.5 got that basic style light in red, while the Trans Am and SE's received the lights in tinted black.

It would also look better if all the pics were from the same angle.

Just a small idea:

How bout starting an article with pictures of some of the majorly changed parts over the third gen? Ya know, something we can keep adding on.

This tailight one would be a good one to start it with, Camaro tailight pics would be helpful too. Maybe different seat styles and what cars they came in. etc etc etc

JUST an idea though. I haven't really thought the logicstics of it through. What you all think?

Jim86Bird,
I should probably do that, since I have already done the body changes for Trans Ams as well as the taillights.

Soulbounder,
You might have different taillights, IF you have RPO T93 (special tail light package)
