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

*sigh* having a bird is one of two reasons why I don't want to do an FMIC with a Procharger, ever :\

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
