I put MSD parts and KYB GR2s in. I retrofitted my A/C from R-12 to R134a + replaced my A/C compressor. I removed the smog pump/A.I.R. System . I put front flip up license plate bracket. KITT still needs work. He is a labor of love.

Love those Daytonas!!! Nice and clean. Now look for those 15" white bowling ball wheels to finish her off!

Sadly the Daytona 500 Aero Rims are nowhere to be found but I like the American Racing rims that the previous owner had on KITT. I also have 4 15 inch turbocast rims that will do instead. But I need 15 inch bowling Ball hubcaps

Re: 1983 Pontiac Trans Am Daytona 500
Can't you paint the bowling caps to resemble the 500 caps?

Re: 1983 Pontiac Trans Am Daytona 500
Yes I can. but the Bowling ball Hubcaps that I have need to be restored first along with my 15 inch turbocast rims. and I dont have the silver pontiac logo stickers.
I prefer the American Racing rims that the previous owner put on White Phantom when I bought him. The previous owner had good taste.
