Just to be **** about something, GTAs never had the "TRANS AM" lettering on the front bumper. But otherwise, the two cars look great.

Yeah those are coming off when the car gets painted. You can't tell by the pics, but it has sap damage on the hood and roof, so I'm going to repaint the entire thing, add a fiberglass replacement spoiler and new GTA emblems. I'll replace the nose too because when GM put the front plate brackets on, they screwed right into the bumper cover. I think I'll be happy at that point..

I hope you get either a junkyard nose, or an OEM nose, the aftermarket ones don't fit correctly IIRC. Oh and let us know about the fiberglass wraparound spoiler, my brother's is all cracked to hell, just wanted to see how it would look all finished.

Very nice, makes me want to actually start working on my GTA again, it doesn't look even a fraction as good as yours though. And I'll second the OEM replacement fascia the aftermarkets don't fit well at all and sag in places. I'm also curious to see how the fiberglass spoiler turns out, probably eventually doing that to mine also. The urethane is tehfux.
