here is my 1984 L69 with a 355 swap after the work I did this winter

 

x2 not bad...never thought i would consider those wheels!!! looks good

TPI, some impressive work!!! Mine took way too long to polish but love the results

Midias, black magic wax = the shiznit lol no 355 pics???

CB, those wheels should look SICK!!!

 

My bad here they are. And I guess I will have to get more when I install my votec top end kit.

 

92 formula 305 TPI

 

nice bird ^^ love those hoods!

 

Heres some recent ones of my bird dropped it even more recently..some may have seen it already but eh.

 

is your hood peeling from excessive speed???

 

nahh, it was like that when i bought it 3 years ago..was gonna paint the car but decided not to, think the hood gives it some personality

 

A couple pics with the rims on. Gotta figure out my side skirts at some point.

 

Mikey, i Love the HID's and the amber fogs. It's hawt even though its kinda JDM lol, something i've been wanting to do do mine for awhile! must be the age, im 18 too lol

 

My 83, and my friends 89 at a local DQ car meet:

 

Not to be rude, but I think the hood just makes the car look unfinished, not seeing personality from it. The rest of your car is mint, give her the finishing touch and paint that hood (:

onthedownlow

 

thanks man, shes a work in progress but runs so good, too bad the steering gear has so much play in it that it's a little scary to drive lol

 

heres my 88 trans am all original except audio

 

are those the factory headlights or aftermarket? did you use 91-92 bracket?

 

I can tell lol. Get a fresh paint job and it'll look mint!

 

like the black on black look!!! also red badges accent well

mikey, love the lower stance!!! gotta get that hood painted since everything on car is mint

 

My 1991 Firebird Formula. Daily Driver/Work in progress

 

Soo umm, it's the 25th. I cannot believe I logged in and there's not a pic of your car with a bare wheel hangin off it.

 

Didn't have time today. I'm glad I waited for these instead of the 006s. These look amazing. Maybe tomorrow but my car isn't starting so I can't pull it out of the shade.

 

not to be an ***, but i guess i am going to come off as one, are you sure thats a real formula, it looks like a V8 base to me, look at my car is post 804 which is a real formula as confirmed by the SPID and the VIN at www.compnine.com

 

I was thinking the same thing. Half the time people say it's a Formula they post a pic that looks just like the one he posted which isn't a Formula. That always bugs me a little bit, especially when I was trying to buy a 91-92 Formula and all I'd see is wanna be Formula's.

 

he may just not know, he probobly bought from someone who called it a formula, a lot of people think its a formula cause it has a V8 in it which isn't the case....the base came with a V6 or a TBI 305 and the formula came with TPI, either LB9 or L98. early formulas you could get with the TBI but you got all the other goodies like the WS6 suspension and what not

 

How did you do the HIDs trying to do that to mine but cant find a kit and was wonderin if you bought a kit or made yours.

 

Here you go sir! XXR526 18x10.5" with 4.25" lip.

 

nice the car and the wheels

 

Looks awesome Jim! Lovin the backspacing, they are gonna look great with tires!

 

I love the wheels CB! Any idea if you can get the centers in silver instead of black?

Dave

 

Photoshopped this to what i want my bird to look like, Someone do it for me please(: all i really need is the RA II hood and the grill inserts painted(:

 

Dave, these wheels are available in black and chromium black which is a dark gray. You could paint them though. Thank you for the compliment.

Mitch, are they better than the 006s now?

-Jim

 

Original look like this:

 

I know,i photoshopped it

 

ABSOFRIGGINLUTELY.

 

formy or not nice bird!!! Dont think ive seen our cars with those wheels yet but sweet though

CB---> (GREAT WHEEL CHOICE!!!)

 

See this looks f*ing awsome but im still not sure if the Ram air hoods compliment ours cars pre-91 style. Somehow i still find myself buying this hood in the future lol

 

lol..yeaa i get the JDM thing all the time but thats really what im into..hellaflush and all that..not stretching my tires but getting spacers for the rear..most on here hate the whole JDM scene but ima do me

nah dude..doesnt come off as rude but yea i see what your saying..idk..maybe sometime in the future

 

Aha i think it does. Ive just always loved the look

 

Polly's TA looks F'ing amazing with the RA1 hood and pop-up headlights eliminated.

This is an older pic with the normal headlights.



And here's a newer one from the Silver State Classic.

 

My 1987 Trans Am GTA i call Project Paddle mirror. Its nicknamed Fireturd.

Heres the most recent picture, behind it is a 1969 Camaro.

 

got to agree, the raI hood is good but the newer ram air hoods aren't exactly a great look on our cars, no offense if you have one, its just too curvy and rounded, are cars are more straight lines and wedge shapes i wish i had a fiberglass raI hood

and pollys ta is BADASS!!!!

 

WOW!!!
I know the arguement is never ending on these hoods for our generation bird but im literatly 50/50 on this....side view RAI>>>RAII, front view RAII>>>>>>>RAI

DD9TAGTA, nice project, hopefully those paddle mirros vanish lol

 

My ride:

 

moaarrr pics ^^

 

More pics:

 

got pics of the whole car?

 

^^ you know, I always liked that ground fx kit for our cars...just seems like it flows really well with the shape and body lines on 3rd gen birds. I see a car around my area once in a while with that kit as well, but I believe it's a camaro.

 

its very 80's..no? hahah..i like it tho

 

isnt that the predator kit or something along those lines? i think it was offered for camaros as well

 

AWESOME cars in this thread! i no longer have a 3rd gen (sadly) but i wanted to post pics of my buddy's 86 Trans Am. he's located in Graham, WA...just like the guy with the maroon GTA a little ways back in this thread...the car has a TPI 305 and a 700R4. has the 9-bolt rear with 2.77 gears. he's had it since 1992 and it has 140k on it...

this pic makes the paint look faded, but i assure you it's perfect.

 

Nah its cool man. That isnt the original motor or anything. I think it had been in a wreck before i bought it. It was a 305 and i dropped the 350 in it when the 305 got cracks in the block.
