Default Icybird: Formula to T/A build

So the build continues, Here are some of the latest pictures of Icybird! I did also find out that she was in an accident at some point in her life after removing the rear bumper! But she is all fixed up now and will head off to the shop for the power upgrades. Also she will be getting a tranny swap to ensure it will handle the power and to make things more fun! 6-speed hear I come! Also i bought the prokit to help with the 4x4 look, just waiting on some shocks that are suppose to go on sale soon!!!!!!!!

Before




After

Very nice! I love the T/A back end so much better than the formula.

That looks great.

I've been considering the rear bumper and side skirts for my Formula as well. Can you take a side shot so we can see how everything lines up front-to-back?

I definitely like the trans am rear bumper and formula front bumper combination. The side skirts and spoiler are fitting as well. Now the car needs a CETA bumper for sure and what happened to the tips?
