yes you would need to switch being that those paices are made for a different body.

since the T/A already has its own gfx pieces under the doors, those will probably need to be removed to add the ones for the w68 kit.

the rear bumper piece will not fit on the T/A bumper, so you'll nee the firebird bumper. the bottom of the front numper of the T/A looks like it has almost the same shape as the firbird, so i'm not sure if that would need to be changed or not.

You actually prefer the W68 kit to the T/A? it all looks really out of place. none of it really flows well with the car. and please tell me you arent buying it new. i remember looking at the prices a while ago and the rear bumper alone was over a grand, as well as each of the door pieces, and the front pieces were around 6oo each. thats like 5K for the kit alone.

Crimson is right, but I'm almost 100% certain that the W68 parts will fit on the front bumper since they are identically shaped.

Not saying it looks good, but it works.

The side skirts would definitely have to be removed, and you would need a regular firebird front & rear bumper. You may be able to put the front pieces on the TA front bumper, but it wouldn't look proper at all. If you want a gfx kit you'd probably be better off going with the wings west TA gfx kit.
