looking to buy a "bird of prey" conversion kit got a 2001 trans am ws6, and i want to get a full cosmetic body kit on it exactly like the bird of prey, any ideas? any information would be great, like a shop that can produce it from pictures, (because i dont think there are exact specs for it) or how much it would cost, im hoping for no more than 5000. but if you can find someone who can do it that would be a great start.

no, the raptor kit and bird of prey kit are different as far as i know, its built off the bird of prey trans am concept, i heard there were some people manufacturing them, just wondering if anyone knew
From what I read there is a t-top and convertible model. Can't find many articles on it now, but here is a little info.

Sprewell "Bird of Prey" Trans Am concept (2000) (The Trans Am screaming chickens are back! This time they adorn the flanks of the Birds of Prey, two Firebird project vehicles built under the Sprewell Racing banner (yes, the b-ball playing Latrell Sprewell is into cars big-time). Restyling help came from the Pontiac brand team and Foam Molders, a shop that specializes in polyurethane and fabricated foam products. To build the Bird of Prey Roadster, Foam Molders started with a Firebird WS6 convertible, chopped the windshield six inches, cut down the side glass, and added a new front and rear facia, side skirts and a full-width deck spoiler designed by Jame Stormes. The quad exhaust tips coming out of the rear pan are exits for the Borla cat-back system. To enhance the car's "roadster" theme, Foam Molders fabricated a solid tonneau to cover the rear seats (like the tonneau found on the '63 T-Bird sports roadster and Ford's latest concept as well) and rollbar-like stainless-steel hoops behind the front seats. The interior was upgraded with leather upholstery from Katzkin, and billet aluminum accessories from MBA Products. Granatelli suspension mods lowered the roadster over the P245/40ZR18 Toyo Proxes tires mounted on Racing Hart MS wheels. Baer upgraded the disc brakes front and rear. For those who might feel the Bird of Prey roadster is a bit too extreme, the build team also assembled a coupe version. It features similar exterior, suspension, and tire/wheel modifications, but it uses a Firebird with T-tops as its base material. The Bird of Prey coupe and speedster were designed by DJ&F International, the Foam Molders design studio, and Sprewell Racing.)
