Ground Effects on a TA This may sound silly to some but would a ground effect kit off of a 98-02 firebird look good on a 98-02 TA, and if so where can I get the kit, or would it even fit. The wings west kit is a little over done on some TA's I've seen. I only want the front lip and side skirts- no spoiler, already have the WS.6!!! Also can you post any pics of any kits what so ever, whether the car is lowered, rims, etc. THANKS

the factory ground effects are one of those things that you either really like or you really hate it. From what I've read is that there aren't many people in the middle. I personally don't like them, they add a sort of "ricer" effect to the car in my opinion. It's your car though, do as you please. I'm sure if you wanted to get it there would be someone on this board selling the kit. I think lowering the car would look better than adding the kit.

Dude add the kit. Ground effects look really nice, but not a lot of people on here like them. The ground effects adds a lot to the overall appearance of the car. The only people who should have something bad to say about ground effect are the people who had them on their cars and know the ups and downs of them. Good luck.

The ground effects from the firebirds will not fit the trans am. I think your only choice is wings west for the trans am kit. But I know for a fact that the stock gm gfx will not fit T/A.

I have had them for a few years now and have had no real problems with them at all. Very happy with the gfx also.
Thanks man!!

^^^ Make sure they have them in-stock. from what I remeber when I bought my kit was that wings west was out business and the sites which I tried to order from didn't have any.

i noticed on your website you have a few carbon fiber f-body pieces, if you made a replica of the kit on your car in fiberglass you would have the market cornered. id buy one
