    Well the headlight part I ordered was the wrong part, so I'm still stuck with one headlight. Need to wait until next week to order a whole assembly. I got my rims last night. Tires won't be ordered for a couple Weeks though. I need to get my front bumper repainted too from the deer. This had to happen right before the cruise

      Just a small update, I was able to locate a headlight bracket from a local junkyard so my car is all back together. I spray bombed the front bumper which turned out like crap but better than it did for now while I wait for a red Trans am bumper to pop up.

      I received my rims but had to wait a couple Weeks for tires for monetary reasons. In the meantime I painted my calipers black instead of the chipped up red. And the fronts have Formula decals on them. Pictures will be up later.

      Finally got my tires ordered today after several headaches. I originally wanted 275/35/18 Riken Raptors which were $488 shipped from discount tire direct. While waiting for my paycheck to clear the bank Tuesday they sold their last set. So I went searching and decided to order Nankungs which were the same price. After reading reviews about onlinetire I decided to call them because I guess they don't update their website if they're out of something. Luck would have it they didn't have them. So back to discounttire, I decided yesterday to order 245/40/18 Nankangs from them which were $387 shipped. They were going to be on the small side but everyone on the forums said they'd work. Today I got a call saying they didn't have them. There was nothing close to comparable in price so I asked what the best they could do on 275/35/18 Falken FK 452s. $600 shipped, I was sold. These retail for close to $1000 with shipping from most places. So they are shipped and I should have them next Wednesday, mounted on Thursday, and on the car by next weekend!!

        Good luck, I've been looking for one for over a year. Body parts for these cars seem to be rarer than a unicorn these days.

          Agreed!! I found a firebird bumper up in Saginaw in red, but I'm trying to hold on for a Trans Am bumper. If nothing comes along, it's looking like I'll end up getting it repainted. Either that route or do the front end conversion to the LS front. Still is in the back of my mind.

            I ended up driving to Chicago to get mine. It was hard to find a decent one without the license bracket. Even though mine was in IL it was off car that was never plated.

                      Finally snapped a few pictures. Not the best quality since they're just off my phone. 18" rims with Falken 452's in 275/35.

                          Going to try out the heater hose mod tonight to hopefully level it out. Pictures to follow...
