Modify GTA front

Hi

Thinking of modify my GTA fron so I will get more air to the IC/rad. I have ssen some photos where they have cut a big hole in the middle. But I'm thinking It may look better with somthing in the lower area, between the fog lights?

Something inspired by a C6 or new camaro?

Re: Modify GTA front

I think that you'd have to follow the original body lines to some extent...
I like the opening on the bottom between the 2 fog lamps #7.
The other openings in #4 are just too big..... and in your face....

But what matters more form or function?

Re: Modify GTA front

It recently picked up an 85' TA and the front was already cut. I orginally thought of replacing the front end, but the look has grown on me and I'm gonna keep it, just need to replace the grill material with something better.

Re: Modify GTA front

Doesnt look to bad the black GTA (polly) with the cutout in the middle also looks good, but not sure how good it would look on a red car............

I'm too gonna get a cowl hood

I like that, but I'd use rectangular fog light not round ones, to go with the square body lines. Could just relocate the stock fog lights up.

Re: Modify GTA front

Definitely post some progress pics as you do this in the fabrication section. I'm doing something a little different with my camaro front but would definitely like to see how others tackle some of the similar ideas.

Re: Modify GTA front

well im sorry if this is a dead thread, but i startede my own thread with an idea i had but no one responded=(, anyways i had an idea between the transformers camaro/grand am and the trans am front end, i played around with deleteing the popups with it, a ram air vent thing and a cowl hood but you can ignore those and since im no good at photoshop and lack the photoshop equiptment i drew it on paper (OLDSCHOOL)

Hey Tyler. I like the looks of the concept drawing. something about it reminds me of a late 80's Supra.
