TA hatch on V6/Formula body Somebody requested pics of the how a TA hatch looks on a V6-bodied car via PM, so I figured why go through all this work and not share the love? =)
Sorry about that last one. I Photoshopped the background a wee bit for use elsewhere. Also, I have a widescreen version of the silhouette picture if anybody is interested.

kinda lost.. What's this W68? I havn't heard of that before... Anyway, I'm wanting to do that hatch swap too, matter of fact I have the same color, same generation, but I have a lip edge kit (i'm told it's factory aerodynamics option????) painted semi-gloss black.

I think it doesn't look right alone, but if it had a W68 option, it would look awesome! There's a local guy that drives one in that same color, W68 firebird, high rise spoiler, and with a ram air hood! There's people that even take it as a trans am....... that until he steps on the gas and you hear that v6 roaring!

The W68 option was a factory appearance package which included ground effects and dual exhaust, although - it was painted to match the body color.

no pics...YET I guess I have the W68 package. They were painted the body color, but looking at the newer concept cars that have a black lip edge, I thought I'd try it with mine. Now that it's done I don't think it'd look as good on any other color than the pewter color I have. I haven't gotten exhaust tips yet and that's kept me from posting pics, but I'll try to clean it up and take a few pics Wednesday when I'm off work. I'll post some for you all to see then hopefully.

Requests for pics GRANTED!! So here's two pics of my W68 Firebird, as requested. The pic with the body-color kit is the older and is edited to delete the door handles, I just wanted to confirm how bad a$$ that'd look to my GF! 
The other night pic is photo edited for clarity since my digital cam doesn't take real good night pics. I don't have my T/A hatch on yet since I'm doing extensive fiberglass work to the edges and corners before painting it and having my glass switched over onto it. Hope you enjoy the pics! Swat

I think it looks good, but as I have a 97' I just can't picture it, I have seen it before on LT1 bodies but all the pics I've seen the cars were pretty ugly and silver... if that makes a difference.
