The carrier I believe uses gear posi instead of clutch posi. That wouldn't shorten the rear end any though heh.
Post the video so we can all see wth you're babbling about lol Nothing's really making much sense.

??? the only thing "appearance wise" that is different from '93-'97 and '98-up is the tail lights.
quarters, hatch, wing, bumper, rearend (housing), etc... is all the same from '93 to 2002

nowhere in that video do i see anything about a "rear end conversion." maybe he swapped the rear end out to a 9 inch or 12 bolt and you just thought it was a body mod instead. but the rear section of that car, from what i can see, is stock as can be.
there would be no reason to shave the back to "make it look slim" thats stupid. thats why T/A's are so badass bc of that huge *** end, anyone hat would wanna make it smalller would be considered a moron in my books.

The only conversion you can do in the rear is if you have a Base Firebird or Formula, which you change the bumper cover to the T/A style. That's what is on that white one in the pic you posted. And as said, other than that it's just the tail lights.
