Whats up Guys, Im kind of New To the ThirdGen.org and Ive been doing More Reading then posting lol.. I own a 1990 Trans Am GTA 5 Speed and I have been Restoring it since last Year.. I am in trouble here and I am Hoping someone can help...


Ok, above the radio there is a Bezel or a retainer, and what this holds are the swtiches for the Fog lamps, Defroster and Trunk release.. well....I stepped on it tonight and destroyed it Completelywould anyone have one laying around, i have one.. but only has 2 cut outs for 2 switches.. I need 3

 

welcome to TGO! ...now to your question, I'm not sure where you could get one. I know what you mean. I would obviously recommend the boneyard, but 1990 is a hard year to find. And I think the bezels/trim for the late thirdgen Firebirds is different than the mid 80's. I'm pretty sure they'll bolt up, but the mid 80's one is usually more "square-ish"...I think. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong. It might be the that the buttons are different. Eitherway, good luck, I'd suggest searching around the site for interior pics and see what years are identical....

 

I have boxes and boxes of parts that i need to check out to see if i have the 3 switch one. You live in east meadow, ask some of the other NYTHIRDGEN guys at hooters if you plan on going. Till then I will check to see if any of my boxes are not too buried in my garage attic. I have alot of the firebird parts, the other NYTHIRDGEN guys have camaros.

 

Hooters??..U mean Hooters On hempstead Turnpike across from eisenhower park??...Wow.. Thats a few Blocks From my house.. Alot Of people have camaros around here, very few Firebirds. I met this guy off of Craigslist for parts to my gta but I got all my t-top parts off of a Camaro haha...


HEY WHOS FROM EAST MEADOW OR THE SURROUNDING AREA??.. and when is that Hooters meet?.. I wouldnt Bring My car till its painted, its primer gray with a red hood

you already posted there, but theres quite a few of us meeting there on thursday night. I know most the posts seem like random but we already met up so its kinda like we know what everyone is talking about... You should def meet up with us, its a good time and dont worry about primer any car is better then no car and mine wont be running by then. (but its already painted )

 

HAHah, Lucky You your T/A is painted, All I can really say is the Engine bay and Door openings are the only things that are painted, and Im still waiting for the Kid who Lives a few Blocks From me to sell me the t top seals i have been waitin for... I wish I could get a Nice Price to get my car painted.. I went to a few local body shops to see what a Price would be, and I make sure I bring Money to let them know Im serious and not some kid with little to no Money.. and Ive got Prices up to $4,000.00 ... I think I may do it this summer On my own.. The door panels and Engine bay came out Pretty damn good... But I have to paint it soon, primer cant hold up forever...

P.S if anyone paints cars I.M me Aol S/n Rad1989ta
or E-mail Rad1989ta@aol.com

 

One of the guys that should be at hooters has or works at a body shop. Talk to him.

 

all Primer.. and needing Paint ...

 

Hey, I think I saw one here at the bone yard in CO. I will probably be going there tommorow (not sure though).

Send me a pic of what you want so I know exactly if its what I thought I saw.

 

Im Gonna go Home and take a Pic of it Now...

 

Coo'

 

I have one from a '92 TA, if it will work.

 

Hey Bull I think the 90 to 92 was the same, Not sure.. Its 2:43am, Ill take a pic before I go to work in the morning and Post them.. Let me know how much you want by Post reply Or E-mail Rad1989ta@aol.com Let me Know either way thanks

 

the top bezel that holds these switches... I would need the fog lamp switch too the grey part of the switch itself Busted off...I cant beleave I stepped on this damn thing....

 

Ok, yeah, my TA did have the three-switch panel there. I tho9ught you were going to post a pic of your broken one so I could see if it matches the look of mine. Let me find where the heck I put mine after I removed it and snap a pic for you.

We've all broken/caused damage to things by mistake, don't beat yourself up about it lol.

 

The car wasn't at the JY today. It was an 89 or 90 formula and it had the one you needed.
I wish I knew about this earlier I would'ev definitely snagged one for ya.

 

90-92 are all the same for that panel

 

Bull- I threw it away, But it is true the 90 to 92 are the same, If you still have it Please let me know what you would like for it shipped.. and if you happen to have the switch to that would be a Bonus...


xlwhellraiser - Thankyou For Offering to take some time out and grab it for me.. Sucks that the car was gone tho, but your a Nice Guy and thankyou..

 

Here are two pics. Nothing broken, but there are scratches on the plastic from regular use.

Are you sure you want only the one switch, and not to buy the whole unit?

 

Oh wow, the one i saw had a gain switch instead one of those switches.

 

Ohhhhhhh WHOAAAHH, THATS EXACTLY IT!!...


SoOoooO... What are you asking for such a part, that Im IN DIRE need for? Yeah it would be a good idea If Maybe I take all of the switches, Knowing My luck they will Die Out on me and Ill kick myself for not taking the switches too... so, How Much shipped to 11554 East Meadow, New York. E-mail me Or PM Me with the Price

soo much

 

Updatew I no longer have a squished panel. I got a new one From bull and Unlike E-bay you cant leave feedback, so I will leave some info about the transaction so Other people who wish to buy from him in the future can feel more comfortable in the sale..

I stated in the forum that I needed a new switch panel.. He replyed that he ahd one which he did, and from the pics It was In great shape... I sent out a money order, and he sent it right out.. The Price was very fair too.. I got the package when I got Home tonight and I opened it to find the same exact NICE Piece I was told about, I Highly recommend Buying from BULL if he has something you may Need, all truth and no " Bull" haha...

Now for the E-bay Version of Positive feedback...

A+++++++ Great Transaction Item as stated, very Please will DEF do business again, HIGHLY RECCOMEND! ++....lol

 

Why cant all transactions be this smooth? i was looking at a post where a guy got ripped off, he wanted a hood, sent out the money order to a guy on here and never got anything back. man that sucks. i need my car to get painted too, i wonder if we all get together and ask the guy that has the bodyshop if he could give us a discount if we guarantee him a few cars to paint.one last thing, anyone on here good in finding a short?

 

You fool, why didnt you call me and ask?

 

Ikeepitreelz-

Keep me Filled In about the Group paint Job.. thats something Ill be very interested in.. If it does work out, where is he, Im in east meadow, long island and you are in NYC?...I will need to go to his shop and see his work, see what kind of paint will be used and the prep procedure

About the short, whats wrong???

 

Just to let you know, if you contact JT he will make it so you can leave him iTrader feedback that all the world (well... the world of Thirdgen.org) can see.

 

thanks for the Info
