You should add 1 or 2 more spoilers on top of your additional spoiler. Also add some more decals. Then your car would be hot! LMFAO. To each their own. Glad you're happy with it.

i can see why you like the spoiler from that one angle you took a few pictures. other than that... like this angle - not working for a lot of us. if you like it, thats all that matters.


overall, looks good. i'm sure you turn every head (sheep included) out there especially with the exhaust..

thank you for confirming the headrest idea i was toying with. I want to get my ebony headrests embroidered with a silver bird. looks good but definitely lose the wing, it just does not belong there. the rest looks good though! oh and lowering springs will top it off.

I saw a t/a a few years ago with an extra wing like the one you have but they had a chrome or aluminum. It looked very funny but with yours being the same color as your car is is not as bad, not my cup of tea but I just wanted to share. Where did you get the plate under the hvac controls?

Well I'll spare you my spoiler comment, but overall the car looks great. What kind of reaction do you get with a TransAm in the UK?

Im gonna have to disagree on all the stainless on the front. It looks like your car is smiling with braces. Car has potential but sometimes less is more...if you like it thats all that matters.

Me personally, I like to understate what my car is. I've removed every Firebird or Trans Am logo on the car. The only thing left is the "pontiac" on the driver's side headlight cover and the front bird on the license plate cover, but those are body color so they blend in.

The car looks ok. I do like the body kit minus the spoiler, but you already knew that was coming.

I was going to ask if you were stopped by people wondering what the car was, but you've pretty much taken care of that with all the extra items you've added.

I'm willing to look past the spoiler. The emblems, logos, decals etc are a different story though. You have like 10 different Pontiac/TA/Bird emblems just under the hood alone. I like the LED bars though, they match the stainless accents well. Might look better to put them in the slits in the body kit though instead of under the headlight? Flashy isn't always bad, but a few little changes would make this car a very classy kinda flashy instead of busy.

Spoiler on top of another spoiler = facepalm but then again it is your car, money and taste.

It's now plain to me why the rest of the redcoats think Americans don't have any taste. I hope they don't think it rolled off the assembly line looking like that.

I would throw away the wing, get some different rims, and lower the car.
