Looks great and the bird emblem would only make it look even better. I noticed you have the Trans Am emblem on the passenger side of the dash, looks great. Ive always liked that.
I just have a question, is that the stock center console for that year TA?

haha i forgot why that in there.

yes, but originally came with buttons for traction control where the bird deal is, i smoothed that with filler. Other than that, the console is stock for a 95 ta.


I'm considering doing my air vents and speedometer bezel surround as well.

Wow, that's honestly the best interior mod I've seen done to a stock part. Very good.

Do the vents. It will look great. What you done there looks awesome, the silver stripe just sets if off. And most definetly put the bird on it.

I had a 95 T/A auto, and that button on it wasn't TCS, it was the transmission sport mode.
