Here is a pic of my 88 TA, pretty much the body is identical for the Trans Ams between 1985 and 1990...

The best bet would be to go to the reader's rides and check out the differences between the years

this is my 89 firebird, this is what your firebird will look like w out ground FX i personally like it better like this but thats my opinion. Dont add ground FX to a car that doesnt have them factory or dont take them off a car that has them OEM....

Heres what the 82-84 Firebirds look like, the T/A's have ground effects, thats the largest visible difference.

The comparison photos were mine. Here are the taillights to go with side views for a more complete picture. I only wish my photohost would allow larger pics.
