Default New T/A Body Kits

Here are a couple new body kits I saw from KGS Engineering and Wings West. The Vizage and the W-Type are both new, I think, and I was wondering what you guys thought. I have a 3.8L V6 (for now) Firebird, and I was going to try to get that on mine if it fit. Let me know what you guys think. And oh yeah....minus the spoiler add-on for the W-Type kit. That's just CHEEZY

bah, i know its a can of worms but IMHO i think all Ground effects kits are hideous on F bodies, save for the 2 or 3 camaros that actually look decent

Besides being kind of verdone I don't think those kits would work best for your car because you just have the firebird not the TA. There are different body kits for your car just do some more research. Also there was the factory body kit that would fit your car called the w68.

wow that looks awful. How much does a suncoast ram air hood cost? I think that would be the best way to spruce up a T/A.

I got mine 3 years ago and it was $750 for the hood and $1,050 for the hood and airbox (which is what I got).

LT1 Wannabe, WW made a kit for firebirds as well. Actually there's a formula with the kit this month in the LS1tech calendar.

WW is no longer selling the kits as far as I know, and they might be out of business as well.

I've got the kit for the Trans Am. I've had it for 2+ years, it's just sitting down at my old mans office.

I really like the look of a f-body with ground effects.. My V6 has the stock package but I decided I just was gonna lower my Z28..

Yup, WW was purchased and the buyer decided to stop production of the kit. There were tons of people in limbo @ the time cause they paid for a kit but never recieved one. I Picked up the front lip for my car but it's collecting dust as i haven't had the time to have it painted...

I've been debating the side skirts from the Vizage for a while. Originally I wanted to get them to go with my WW front air dam and Mecham hood, I think that combo would look sharp. But since I got rid of that SHITTY hood, and Rex still hasn't remolded it, I am holding off for now.
