Even the 93 TA's had the big wings, not the small nub one. Are you sure about that? I can't see the front end, are you sure it's a TA front bumper cover?

Side skirts can easily be added so I was thinking that's what he did.

Ah, found some more pics.

Yea, positive. In the early 4th gens the high rise was an option and came with the 'GT' package, low rise was standard on all models. You can tell on the front bumper at the bottom where it flares out some again that its a TA, the Formula bumper keeps curving underneath the car. I'm willing to bet its a TA with an export bumper. I had a friend with a 94 TA with a low rise wing.

It is a export model T/A , have that low rise rear spoiler, european rear ligths, different rearbumper for wide licence plates and w/o sidemarker, notice that the reflector in the rearlamp's are taken away and replaced with those small reflector in the bumper, in the front some extra white ugly park lamps, and on the fender's the side blinkers.. Otherwise it's the same as US modell, LT1 and 4l60E, have all the original' parts at home, engine, gear, rearend, wheels etc

You gonna hate me for this, I'm going to paint this car satin army green, and satin black, with a Predatorhood, and those TTII going satin black..

Got the hood on, but, still needs to be painted. Here's what it looks like so far. I ordered the solid blackbird ram air stripes for the hood, so, it should look pretty decent in another 1-2 weeks.

I've always like this one and the SOM one with the same hood/rims...there is just something about the deleted side molding and raptor hoods that set these things off.

My first car was a 94 TA (non-GT model) I can attest that what you are saying is 100% true. Possibly someone replaced the rear bumper at some point.

EDIT: Disreguard bumper comment... owner says euro-bumper in another thread lol.

It was only in 94, 93 T/A's had the high rise as well as 95-02's, in 94 the regular T/A had the low rise and then the T/A GT's got the high rise

Might as well leave my mark here too. These are the only good shots I have with the new hood. Tint/System coming, and I'd like to drop it.




Pre-Hood era.





And a little PS touch..

I like the blackout effect on the back for sure ... beautifil car man. Did you order blackout taillights or user the spray to do it yourself? I used 600 and 2000 grit wet paper and then rubbing compound and polish ... to smooth out the middle filler panel and was getting ready to order the spray to finish the taillight blackout. Looking for a few tips if you have time to share.
