...so which one is it ?

and would you guys say that they are rare ? Because I don't think I have ever seen these GFX in person. Especially the sideskirts.

They are a GM product that came on 93-97 and 98+ birds. It was called the W68 appearance package AKA Firebird GT gfx. It isnt that rare, every dealership I have been to has cars on the lot with this package. I installed a set of these on my 94 Formula . Bought them from Lingenfelter when they were installing these in the place of the regular trans am gfx on 98+ Trans Ams. They were overstocked and I got them for $550 shipped. At the dealer they are $1200.

So every Firebird GT has this same GFX ?

Was it the same from 93-97 and then stayed the same from 98+ also ?

The reason I ask is because on Brents Site, they are listed as "????? Ground Effects"



Here is another pic:

ok pu12en12g

just like the camaro RS or the Camaro that came with the GFX, these are the factory GFX on the v6 firebirds.
They are not rare. They are just like the factory GFX on the camaros, only these things only come on the v6, since the TA has diferent bumpers and already come with side skirts

later man

PS. you got to teach me to mold my GFX in when i get my Camaro back (soon i hope)

Holy ****, so the GT is a V6 ? I didn't know that. I do admit I don't pay alot of attention to the Firebirds, but I love these sideskirts compared to the T/A or Firehawk ones. I think with a different front GFX, it would be kinda "C5 Vette" lookin... and I may be in the market for another car soon.

Well depands on the year.

In 94 (only year i believe) they had TA GT's. These did not come with those GFX. They looked the same as regular TA's

in 00 or 01 Slp started making the v6 RS and v6 firebird GT again
