New PICS of both my cars -New Wheels, Hoods, Lower

**nhra-trans-am** · 08-10-2010, 11:26 PM

I was finally able to get some pics of both of my fourth gens together. Since the last pictures I posted they both received new hoods, new wheels and were both lowered. Let me know what you think.

i thought the trans ams had the raised wings and the forms had the ones shown in the pic.. Well i know one is a formula.. Very nice cars i like the forms front bumpers way better than the trans ams...

You know how I know you have too much money? Seriously tho they both look awesome.

Look sick dude! How much did you lower them? I want to lower my 01 WS6 but not sure how much I want to go.

That's not the firebird low profile spoiler. It looks like the Firehawk wing they had on some years. But definitely not the stock wing. Looks good! In between the sizes of the low spoiler and the TA wing, I like it!

That's a great looking duo you got! How long does it take you each day to decide which one to drive??

OH PS, maybe that wing was stock on the NHRA model??

Lowering cars is for you young whippersnappers. My old man body can't take much more crouching to get in and out

But they do look great!

I do agree it adds to the old man workout gettin in and out but i'm 22 so I got a few years to go before I worry about that. I mainly want to lower mine for aesthetic reasons. Just looks a bit too much of a gap between tire and fender for my liking.

The Trans Am has the IROC spoiler, which was available on the 01 Anniversary Firehawks and an option on 02 Firehawks.

The Trans Am was lowered about 1.5-1.75 in and the Formula was lowered around 1.5 in.

The wing is from a Firehawk and was not an option to the NHRA Package. The Formula is my daily driver and the TA is a weekend/show car.

If you look closely they are different hoods.

where do you get those tailight covers with the holes cut out where the reverse light are? or do you have to cut them out yourself...inquiring minds must know

Thanks, the taillights of the TA are sprayed with VHT Niteshades tint paint. I masked off the reverse light when I tinted them.

No matter what i do to my bird she wont be truly beautiful to me until i drop her bitch ass.
Good mods OP!

**RyanJM** · 08-17-2010, 12:26 AM

I actually barely notice the drop getting in and out of my car but the wheel wells look better now. No more 4x4 look.
Love the Pewter TA and wish I had a Raptor hood had to settle for a aftermarket $250 WS6 style for now. I always liked the Raptor since it look like the Hawk hoods. Not a
WS6 hood fan but needed the intake ports for the Volant.

How are the fitment on the Raptors??

Thanks. The TA has an original US Exotics (non outlaw) Superhawk hood and the Formula has a Raptor hood.
The fitment is pretty good on the Raptor. The only flaw that I notice is a slightly larger gap than factory where it meets the front of the bumper. I can take a pic of that if you'd like.
I am very happy with both hoods though.
