Default New Kid :D

Hello! I'm new to F-Bodies, just got a 1996 Trans Am about two weeks ago, we're fixing it up now and soon I'll be on the road
I realized i really don't know much about my car, the only mods i know it has are a K&N intake and I'm pretty sure those are Borlas...no idea what the deal with the taillights is though, its got weird export rectangle thingies and a bunch of air pockets and gunk up top, like the guy didn't do it right... hopefully i can find some normal honeycomb taillight covers to replace them with later. CORRECTION: Maybe i can buy some 98+ lights to throw on it sometime in the future

Also, yeah, I didn't block the plates but they aren't the ones on the registered car

Really? Hmm, I tried to look up pictures of pre-facelifted LT1 Birds and everything came up Honeycomb...oh well, I'd prefer honeycomb but oh well! Thanks!

There basically a direct swap if you ever want to down the road... That also could be the reason why you saw so many LT1s with them when you looked them up.
