You will need everything from the doors up. You will also need side-skirts or else it will look weird as hell.
*I don't know why you would want to molest a Firehawk unless it is just a firebird.

+1 on not altering the firehawk. That's a rarer car and IMO you should keep it original. Although I'm with you on preferring the ls1 trans am front end.
I was planning on buying a lt1 trans am (couldn't afford the insurance on a ls1) and changing the front end to the 98+ but I ended up with a REALLY clean 96 WS6 and there's no way I'd even consider swapping to the 98+ front end. It's becoming harder to find clean lt1 4th gen cars.

DUDE, save the firehawk for somebody who cares. buy an LS1 and have your cake and eat it too. so i guess you're into that whole fake scoops (i.e.mustang) bellybutton car and bugeyed rear-end look.
please God, do not let this little man with LS1 envy DESTROY a still salvagable LT1 Firehawk.
i figured i would add in that prayer to get someone else on our side.
