Default Anyone Have This On A Ta...2

Here are the pics with the grill in the bumper. Sorry for the hazy pics, but it is bright as hell outside. I think if i would of used a thicker grill it would look better.

I like the spoiler, it goes good with the car. The only thing that is bugs me is the exhaust tip and the front plate. Is that the only exhaust option with the STS? Anyway, I really like your car, everything looks awesome .

Like the lights, I think I like the front clip, and I don't like the spoiler. It's not my taste but I wouldn't go as far as to say it looks rice.

I don't care for the spoiler at all and the front bumper is too much to handle however I can see the function of it. I like the rims though

Love it! Way to be different and tasteful! I agree you need another exhaust tip even if not funtional.. it would balance the rear.

IMO. The front openings need some type of grill in them. Too wide open.
IMO. The wing looks like it's melted, ...
IMO. I never have cared for the non-pop-up lights.
IMO. It needs some balance in the exhaust. The left opening is just, empty, ...
But it is different, so I do like the fact you got guts to do something wildly odd, ...

I like it. Altho I personally wouldnt run w/ grille openings that large w/o some sort of covering in front of them, I think your overall setup is unique and sick. NPU lights on a TA look , and that thing just screams it.

As for the wing, I think from the 3/4 angle in the front it looks sick. Once you go to the back and see more of upsweep it looks out of place. The sides where they kinda fold down make it look like wings, which IMO is kinda cool following the whole "bird of prey" thing the Poncho cars have. Unique, so I'll give ya a big

Thanks everbody, i do agree with you on the spoiler. Now that i have had it a while i am starting to think about changing the sides to have a little less melting effect, they need to be raised more. As far as the license plate i usually have it off unless i am driving a far distance. But if i have it on and need it off all i have to do is cut the zip tie. Believe me i wish the cops were not so hard pressed about it, i used to have the license plate hanging on my bedroom wall until i started getting pulled over for not having it. CHAOTIC FIREBIRD, i am planning on going to ennis soon it should run in the mid to high 10's. Thanks again

Oh ya i agree with the single tip, i need to find a way to put my mecham tips back on. I do have a black mesh grill for the bumper but i love the reaction when everyone sees the intercooler. You would be surprised how many people think it's my radiator.Anyhow i will put up some pics with the grill tomorrow. Thanks again

Poor car.

Why buy a Firebird if you want exposed lights badly enough to screw it up? Why buy a Firebird if you want large gaping holes in the front?

Camaro does both of those for less money for the purchase alone, to say nothing of the mod costs.

Sorry, just MO and all, but that's hideous.
