Spent the last month blinging the car. I need to roll the car out of the shop and get some decent pics in decent light.

Thanks ... it took 6 years of racing to get it to the point it needed a make-over.

It'll be tough to line it up.

It looks great Mitch and I love the new graphics. I am more than just a little biased when it comes to white LT1 powered Firebirds though. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Well, we all know that white cars, especially white Pontiacs, are fastest. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)


Question about noses on the 93-97 Trans AMs ...

I have a couple front TA bumper covers that have a screaming chicken glued over the ridge just in front of the hood.
One is from a 96 and the other a 97.

I have a couple front TA bumper covers that are smooth and have no sign of ever having an emblem on them. Both have been repainted, though.
These are from 94 era TAs.

The older covers also appear to be contoured a bit different down at the bottom of the front wheel opening. The bottom seems to "kick out" more than the 96+ covers I have.

All the panels underneath are installed and fit just fine.

Am I just imagining things or are there subtle styling differences between the year models?

Nobody will think you're soft it you just want to wave off your qual times and start in the back.

Say starting... oh, I don't know... next weekend?

Who is going to be the first to leave you a rub mark?

I hope it ain't me. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Lookin' sharp.

I was thinking about re-painting mine, but everytime I try to touch it up I get a donut or a punt. Last time I painted it, I was in the tire wall on the second weekend. Your's can be the good looking white Firebird, mine can be the one that looks like it just came out of a bar fight.

Why do those 9 inch wheels stick out so far on the front?
