what was your impression for the 1991 front bumper ?
i hate the 91-92 GFXS !!!!!!!
Any of you loved it ? hated it ?
have any of you seen a 91 formula nose (OPEN GRILLS) with GFX ?

85VortecTA

can't say I have, but I would to see how it looks.

The onlything I like about the 91-92 nose is the nose site flush with the foll up lights.

Calderone

I always hated the way 91-92 T/A s nose looked compared to the Formulas ..
that's why T/As has the holes incomplete ..
i photoshopped a T/A Nose only darkened the holes section
and now it looks killer ..if some day i got a 91 T/A nose
i will paint this section black cause it looks killer!
specially with RA Hoods ! now this is the perfect look.
i guess the Banshee was intented like that ..with all the openings
black!

I don't know about the GFX but the 91~92 nose looks great, much better...

nick418

honestly im not a fan of the 91-92 Birds, I like 80s desgin so much better

chio987

the thing i like about camaros is they never really changed and it looked good. as for the firebirds, i only like 82-84 with the GFX, as far as the 91,92 front goes....man i dunno know what pontiac was thinking, it's like they were confused and put it on to get ready for the 4th gen. altho when those r behind me it sometimes looks like a vette alittle. idunno, i just don't think it fits with the 3rd gen style

nolanr0413

i love the 91-2 design , i feel its the best looking one. Deffy gotta have the trans am with the gfx.

no_car_yet

i have an 85 camaro and an 86 firebird(with bumpers from a 82-84) and a 1991 GTA. there is no comparison, my GTA is by far the best looking, and i like the 91 nose/gfx/and back bumper/tailights better than the older ones.

you can't look her in the face and call her ugly!













post up more 91's!!!!

True, but I can look at her from the side and call her ugly... that, or a raingutter! LOL

MdFormula350

got to love the 91-92 formula's!!

devianb

I think they could have done a better job with the gfx on the front. It resembles flab on the side, and not too appealing, needs a little more extention to the front of the nose.

Orinackra

Not yet...but I'm working on that. I'm trying to get my hands on a formula style bumper and mold the gfx on it with fiberglass. I was gonna cut mine up...but I'd be pissed if I messed up.

Also, did this in paint.

Orinackra

I still love the gfx and the nose as is though....

Best looking 3rd gen 'bird in my opinion.

irocbirdbuilder

The front end on i didnt love nor hate however i might be the majority that loves the 91/92 gfx i had achance to buy a 91 ws6 that was yellow awhile back and i loved the look of the gfx. However i love the look of the 91-92 camaro gfx much better, thats what sold me on the rs was the gfx.

92Transam

I love my front end

92Transam

and I already removed the license plate just need a newer pic of the front

Have to say I'm partial to the 91-92 Formula as well - without the GFX! NIce and clean, sleek looking in my opinion!!!!

One more angle....

1992rs/ss

I like the 91-92 nose better as well. I was actually wanting one of those cars, but I found my RS bought that instead. I love this car!!!!

Formula4Speed

I actually strongly prefer 87-90 formulas for the stock look. The banshee nose goes a lot better with ram air hoods tho.

sellmanb

92Transam what color is that !?!? I LOVE THAT COLOR! You have to share the secret

FirebirdNYC

i never really liked the nose before , but let me find a formula for a descent price and i wont think twice about getting it, even if the nose isnt my favorite..whats wrong with the 90 trans am appearance package?

theSteve

me too.

92Transam

I blelieve its cobalt blue but I would have to double check that.

qytum

Yes, i also love the front end just wish they didn't cost so much to replace.

Not a huge fan of the gfx though. I dont mind the sides but the back bumper looks terrible to me. But thats just me. Mine came with the ground effects on it so id might as well keep em. Although if i had a choice i would have got the formy with no gfx and somehow use the TA nose because of the fog lights.

TorchTA

I love this picture.

mckenzie

The 91/92 bird front nose make's the car look like the BATMOBILE!!! go ahead and admit it, the car looks like the batmobile, doesn't it? just my 2 cents. loved the 85-90 trans am's. don't get mad if you don't like my opinion, i don't mean any harm. anyway, its a thirdgen

90firebird

never was a fan of the 91/2 birds until my dad got his black on black 91 t/a... then it just grew on me..

92Transam

Actualy I always thought the 91 -92 bumper made it look more like knight rider than the batmobile, Or a c4 Corvette Ive gotten that at least twice now. "Who's corvette is that?" lol or someone saw my car in the dark and knew I had a firbird but thought I had brought a corvette .

joekickass

a Corvette..........that's what I am thinking.....maybe that is the reason why I like 91~92 nose.........love it!

THEGENERAL

i liked the new nose ....not going to say i liked it better than the older firebird noses i personally like them all the firebird is a good looking ride ...

you should have put a poll on this thread .....

Drakar

Your car is Awesome MD, I love black 91-92 formula's. SWEETNESS!!!!!!

fb305svs

here's mine... not a formy tho... i love this front end and gfx setup - nose is so much cleaner looking!

THEGENERAL

sheltonw3

I don't like the 91-92 ground f/x either!!!....why did they even bother???

WinnipegGTA

i love the whole look of the 91-92's From the Nose the the taillights. I have a Black 91 GTA with the RA1 hood from ASCD. The car looks killer, and i get alot of compliments on it. I think it was a good design change to get the thirdgen outof the 80's. If only they could have made the dash a little more slick. But that would have been just pushin it.

88firebird

If I remember correctly, I think I remember reading something somewhere about GM wanting to use that styling on the 3rd gen to get everyone ready for the introduction of the 4th... there are some 4th gen lines to it... I prefer the look of the bumpers and GFX of my 89 GTA, but the 91/92s are cool too... and I agree with whoever said that 91/92s look best with a ram air hood... first 91/92 'bird I ever really saw was a local guy who has a 92 GTA with ram air hood... gorgeous car! :hail:

Orinackra

Wow, thats nice! Are those 9.5 or 11's on the back?

92Transam

new pic in the mountains

fb305svs

11's....





they have 335's on them righ tnow, but the inner fenderwell is clearence abotu as far as i can before i have to mini tub it, so they rub a triny bit around a really hard corner... they wont touch at all with a pair of 315's on it

vernw

iTrader: (2)

Did you have to clearance anything to get 315's to work? I'm curious how wide you could go w/o doing any clearancing....

fb305svs

umm yeah had to beat the hell out of the inner fender wells - mostly towards the front and around the top inner area's...

Acid Phreak

I like it. But I prefer the 85-90.

joekickass

this is a joke right? it is fxxking expensive to fine a 11J rim in Taiwan, especially for thirdgen (120.65mm), I run 8.5 in the rear, the max tire is around 255mm.

The 91~92 GFX look great!

Acid Phreak

Probably not, people do it to their 4th gens all the time as well to run tires that big.

fb305svs

Nope - definately NOT a joke...

its even harder to fit 11" rims under a firebird fender well than it is an iroc/camaro -

andris skulte runs a 1 1/2" spacer on each side with his iroc, with identically back spacer rear 11's - i run a 1/2" spacer... the camaro's are an inch wider at each fender lip than the birds, hence more clearencing to get them to fit underneeth.

In japan they are very strict as to what you can do to a car over there - we definately dont deal with that here... i just get looks and told nah, i dont wanna race - ur tires are big for a reason...

So yeah anyways, they are shoe horned in, have had no need to roll the fender lips tho..

I love the Banshee. Favorite of all time.
