It has already been posted but this is how I did mine, just pretty much left the tabs for the grill to mount and cut everything else out.

I'm wondering if anyone has done a nice mesh or something like the camaro guys but for the T/A. I'd really like some type of black powder coated grill or something for the license plate and fog area. Anyone do anything like that?

looks good guys, I like the firebirds coming up. ANyone do one without losing the fog lights? Would a small intercooler that fits inbetween them be ok for regular street duty and occasional racing? gonna be doing a T76 or T88 custom rearmount system

there's room to keep the fogs if you get creative and integrate it into the intercooler support or possibly weld small tabs to the intercooler endtanks.

I originally didnt want to lose them but I liked it a lot better once I had it together

better pics
