Default Heritage T/A body kit

So, I love the look of the heritage T/A. I think it's a great mix of both 2nd and 4th gen. I've seen the post about the shaker hoods but, does anyone know anything about the rest of the body? i.e. front end, spoiler.
I've seen the freeweb site that has no info and have been scouring the web for any info but, to no avail.
Does anyone know anything about a possible kit? Or, not knowing one damn thing about fabrication, is it feasible to have made? I'm willing to invest a fair amount of cash to do it but, I don't have the budget GM had.

I've never seen the heritage kit but wings west made a 5 peice kit that looked decent : front air dam, side skirts, and rear bumper quarter skirts. I had a chance to get one a few months after Wings West went out of business but was too slow and it sold. Wanna see a rice kit for the t/a; go to Andysautosport.com. Thats some RICE

No thanks, I've seen andy's horror masterpiece. Some people should rot in hell. I've seen the wings west kit but, I love the whole appearance of the heritage. If I can do it I will. If not, then no effects kit for me.

Im not sure how hard it would be to have everything custom made but maybe theres stuff out there already that would give you the look. I recall seeing a front clip that resembled the Heritage TA in that it had 2 gaping openings up front. As for the spoiler you could see if one of the camaro spoilers would work. I think they have a similar style spoiler that even goes onto the rear quarter panels like the heritage one does. It might not give you the exact rake that the heritage TA has but i bet its close. The hood you'd have to custom make as well as the side heat extractors. Maybe visit the junkyard and see if you can retrofit some of those side heat extractors. This is all speculation though, im not sure how all of those pieces would look together.

the heritage was custom made, so they are one-off parts. It waould be really expensive to recreate all the parts

Hmmmmmmmmmm.........I'll have to think about that front but, it's definitely a step in the right direction. Any ideas on a spoiler anyone? Once again like the second gens. Could you heat a stock type and form it somehow?

As I stated before you could use this camaro spoiler.


LG Motorsports ZR28 Spoiler



RK Sport Spoiler


??? spoiler

I'd actually be interested to see what that spoiler would look like on a regular trans am/ws6

Thanks for posting it up.

this site is having problems so you can't search for anything last year, I think they will fix it soon.

I haven't seen it, so if anyone can get a pic of the heritage t/a please post.

Thumbs down **** the Heritage T/A

thanks for posting a link to the pic. It looks like a mexicaned out firebird (notice the back bumper, smells like original v6) The front bumper looks like an e1 with a wings west air dam.

The louvers look like bondo's hood scoops

they tried to make a viper spoier but failed

and those breathless performance headlights are a joke

And it's an a4

You say heritage, i say v6 firebird with an ls1 swap

I say speak before being an ignorant douche.

1) car has a 421
2) doesn't have breathless headlights
3) it has the firebird bumper because it matches to the body lines more than the T/As
4) ohszz n00szzz! auto!1! it is the suck for sure.
