Default My new 88 GTA

Red (needs paint), digital dash-- fully functional! However Im debating on a hood. Off center cowl hood? Or leave it stock? Plus I need a front bumber... Stock or something else, something more Knight Rider-ish?

Need some input! Help a girl out!

That's my favorite body style, wheels & color combo for the third-gen 'birds. If it wer my car, I'd leave the exterior stock. Now the internals would be another story

Nice!

LS1/T56

Subtracts from the little amount of weight the car has already.

Not a huge fan of the digital dash, still cool though!

Very cool, I miss my 88 GTA I had. I sold mine to some kid that smashed it..But I got a 25th T/A from the Sale of it. Keep it stock and have some fun with the 350 TPI. I always wanted to do the NOS kit for that motor(5757 I think it was).
