Cool car, I like the interior.

Weeell I've been spending some time putting the finishing touches on my TA. I fixed my backup lights, cleaned up my stereo head unit install, and today I installed the front spoilers. I thought the pics would come out better than they did but I guess there was less light than I thought and I forgot to put the flash up. But here are some shots of the front end.

Note: I can't seem to fix that drivers side high beam. It always wants to droop like that.

I 78 front end on the 79 REALLY looks sharp. Are you planning on putting the decals back on the the car, or are you going to leave it as is?

COPY CATS!!

I can't take credit for anything really. I've spent hours scouring photos of what people have done to their cars and put together a car that looks relatively stock on the cover but will pin you in the seat on command. The only thing I dislike thus far is the front seats. I love how they look and they are pretty comfortable, but they don't hold you in the seat at all in corners. If I ever end up taking this car up to the autocross I will have to install a race seat on the drivers side.

Spoliers look great bub ...

That dark metallic blue is one of my favorite Pontiac colors (my GTP daily driver is the same color).

She's really coming to life with her spoilers on now, and your choice of the '73 blue/light blue/black hood bird is gonna JUMP off that hood!

I eagerly anticipate pics of the finished result with the decals in place.
GREAT looking car.

the trans am look lovly. i have a 79 and just got a 77/78 front cone. was it an easy job to fit also did the spoilers need any modifacation. i was told the spoilers from my 79 will not fit with the 77/78 cone. cheers kev

The nose has really nothing to do with 79-81 spoilers. They mount to the fender, and the lower spoiler mounts to the core support.

See this thread about what is needed to do the swap. As long as you have everything it is very easy.
