Default Just a WW Front lip

Would the TA look any good with just the front FRONT AIR DAM Lip? Or I should just get the full body kit?

Body Kit Includes:
TRANS AM W-TYP LEFT SIDE SKIRT
TRANS AM W-TYP RIGHT SIDE SKIRT
TRANS AM W-TYP FRONT AIR DAM
TRANS AM W-TYP LEFT REAR LOWER SPAT
TRANS AM W-TYP RIGHT REAR LOWER SPAT

i think 12 gaps on the front of the car is a bit overboard

Especially when you exaggerate how many gaps there really are.

Personally, I love the way that WW kit looks on the TA. It makes the car look finished, like it was meant to be there in the first place. Then again, I think all FBodies don't look right without a kit.

Looks out of place, like its stacked on top on an exsisting kit to me and its not my style I guess. Anyhow if you want just the front air dam go for it, it what you think will look good that counts. If you don't like it you can always pick up the rest of the kit down the road.

try counting? 12, smarts.

and it looks tacked on, just like every other ground effect kit

Just the front lip would look great. I had just the front WW piece on my T/A and it didn't look out of place at all. I agree that the WW kit completes the car. If you look at the lip. it's really thin and not overstyled at all. The front piece from the Andy's Autosport kit on the other hand, is very overstyled and looks really bad, IMO.

Oh my bad, I didn't realize 10 "gaps" on the front was acceptable, then, if you're going to count every single "gap" on the front. Sad excuse not to like the front lip because it adds two more...

I think Bob's right, though, last I heard I thought Wings West stopped making it for the Pontiacs. Not sure why, as I believe they're still being made for the Chevy's. Doesn't make sense. You can probably still find them around used, though.

You're absolutely right. I'm waiting for WW to produce more kits for the Firebird/TA. I have the front and rear pieces, but i'm missing the sides. Now, I have no way to get them .
