91-92 firebird vert with no gfx

im guessing you couldnt get one like that from the factory, but im wondering what it would look like. I love 91-92 Formulas and im basically wondering what they would look like as convertibles. does anyone have pictures of this?

thank you

are you reffering to subframes that are on convertibles only? they would have to be pretty low to be visible

They look like ***.

I've seen quite a few running around here. All of them black which is weird. But they're all pretty hideous.

Lol now I wanna see a pick of how horrible that could possibly look. IMO slap a 87 TA front end on and call it a day. I am not a huge fan of the beak like nose of 91's and 92's.

Well since you are serial...

Here's a picture of a formula vert. The 91-92 will look the same under the doors. As you can see, not too pretty..

BTW, this took about two minutes to find by going through the 9 page "Your Convertibles" thread stuck at the top.

Actually I do not think they look all that bad without the ground effects. However I will admit they do look better with the ground effects.

When ASC did the convesions they would rivet the subframe connecter down the rocker panel. They also did the J body conversions that did not have ground effects so they used the same extrusion to cover the rivets ( I have yet to find out if the J body is shorter or longer than the F-body between the wheel wells, if there longer I will be getting some of the trim pieces to modify for stock.

The clips that hold on the piece are still available through GM.
