No problem, the fresh paint, what has been shaved, and those wheels really set the car off. I have been looking at those wheels for years, just havn't actually saved the money to buy a set, they are getting harder to find now in the specs you got them in, don't know if i'll get them or not anymore. If I do, it'll be gloss black with the polished lip.

Stupid question....

How do you open the door from the outside with shaved handles?

Re: the best looking t/a

You open the doors using a shaved door kit/door poppers. By remote, it opens the latch and pops the door.

To the last guy, I dont think very many of these cars were "BOUGHT"...maybe one or two others. Most of these cars were built by their owners including "MYSELF".

sorry if i offended you, i didnt mean it in a bad way at all. The only reason why i said that was because as i was going through my photobucket pics. i found tons of pics back from when i was working on it and i found one of a sticker that said Built Not Bought so i thought i would throw that out there.

Not necessarily. I didn't post mine. There was at least one other person that didn't post theirs.

Yours is one of the better looking TAs on the site. I like the two tone with that spoiler.

Re: the best looking t/a

I'm pretty partial to the one I sold my brother. It's a 91 Formula. Stock, but you can't beat the look of a clean white car.
Not a great pic though

Re: the best looking t/a

not sure on the miles because the odometer stopped working. it reads 72k, but its gotta be low its really clean. I'm missing a center cap and my buddy who's had tons of camaro's and firebird's said the center caps should read WS6, but the ones on my GTA all have the gold firebird on them. heres a couple more pics..
