where did you get that hood? I like it better than all the ones i see like this because it has the back cowl part extend towards the windshield.

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
89' = 89 feet.
'89 = 1989.
I was just using a little bit of sarcasm, since you incorrectly abbreviated 1989. It's just a pet peeve of mine, since I see it all over this forum. None of it was about the emblems.

As for the emblems they are a perfect fit to replace stock emblems.

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
Thanks Bro! Just giving my TA my own look. But keeping original hood and rims if I want to go back to the original look. Can wait to get her painted for next summer. Cheers...

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
Well the camaro i posted a while back i got rid of got a new one with a ton of mods so far and more to come
My solution to hatch lighting
Speaker kick panel for pass side
4th gen dash/seats/console and gta panels
Smoothed sideskirts I did the rear bumper as well looks the same as my old one
Comp/temp mirror
Custom panhard bar and mudflaps
Wire tuck
Ive also shaved the firewall and gas cap. Working on engine bay led lighting. Converted to a manual. I do believe thats it so far

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
almost plug-and-play autometer gauge setup for my TA, all fits in the stock gauge pod and plugs into the factory connectors/harness. Just 3 extra wires for the water and oil temp gauges
widened interior panels, just one pic, its all pretty much done took a looong time.
offset control arms by Spohn, still holding strong, they didnt break!
a little bit of a mini-tub
theres more, but i dont have pics.

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
Since I've seen a few posts on this thread that weren't first gens below and at the link is my '67 Firebird I've been rebuilding for the past 3.5 years. Fabrication includes:
- replaced or rebuilt nearly the entire car.
- mini tubbed front & rear (front wheels will be 18x9.5 and has full steering/ suspension travel. Rear wheels will be 18x12 and have full clearance
- DSE suspension front & rear
- slightly flared rear qtr panels (to match the '69 T/A spoiler)
- recessed tail panel
- functional vents for front & rear brakes (not completed yet)
- recessed & smoothed firewall
- recessed engine/ custom mounts
- redesigned trans tunnel with exhaust relief
- custom designed & built roll cage (17 points of contact with body)
- home built hoop supports
- hand built subframe connectors
- flush mount front & rear bumpers (rear was widened to fit the car)
- enlarged wheel openings
- recessed trunk mount battery box
- trunk floor fuel pump access door
All garage built, too.
The full build to date can be seen here. Hundreds of details not covered in this post, either..

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
It looks like the late 3rd gen bumper that retains the look of a trans am but has the opening for kitt's scanner lol. In any case your car looks awesome.
