Couple weeks later or so.. Bolt ons..



Before I sold it... PRC ls6 heads, ms4 cam, ported 9090, 410s, 4400 VIG, xpipe 1 chambers etc etc etc


Day it went to get all mods pulled off..



When i bought it..


About 1 month later..



It is now about to receive D1SC and stray away from NA H/C setup.. Few months after that the 9" will go end.. Hopefully bottom end will hold up until I have the money for it.
Just bought HIDs for all lights.. Going to black out front bird, CETA mod, have some Corsa Tips to go on.. Have a **** ton of other small things going on with it..

Dave- Trans Am in a hardtop? Was it only ls1s that didn't have this option? I know firebirds/formulas can be had in hardtop, but I thought all TAs were Ttop/vert...?

Here's what the car looked like a few months after I bought it. It was bone stock in May of 04 when I brought it home. It just had a lid and catback in these shots.




Here's how it sits now.





I just added a grille and have a badge for the back thats not on yet. I'm also going to get some stripes for the side of the hood once I decide on a color, leaning towards just black right now.

Nope - strictly an option pre 96' (I believe) and personally I love have a hardtop as you don't see that many on the road.

More than likely it was pre 98. I know someone with a 96 T/A WS6 hardtop and i believe i've seen a 97 somewhere as well.
