That is butt fugly and pains me someone did that on purpose to a new SS. How do you make an already bad looking 2014 rear end look worse?

I've seen better conversions. Not something I can get on board with, but some people have a strong nostalgia, and need it scratched.
Someone will buy this and love it. Some people also hook themselves up to car batteries..all depends on what you're into

Maybe this is what put it in my mind

For that price you could get a fully restored one, i,e, the real thing for less.

without those hood scoops I don't think it would be that bad! The hood screws the whole thing up.

Altough i think this car isnt proportioned right I would love to see a well done GTO conversion!

Why cant GM just create a new performance division like Crystler's SRT and bring back a moderen TA and/or GTO like SRT's (Plymouth) Cuda? A guy can dream I guess lol

If GM was going to do that, they might as well just bring back the Pontiac division. I would like to see that! The original reorganization plan called for keeping Pontiac as a maker of niche performance vehicles (like Trans Am or GTO). Unfortunately the powers that be killed the plan and the division.

Theres plenty of worse looking cars out there. I dont think its that bad, i always loved the GTO Judge, so this is pretty cool!

I agree....can you imagine if they brought back the Firebird Trans Am?
I bet 90% of male baby boomers would buy one!
Are they gonna bring back the Cuda?
Also, have you seen "Mr Norms" website? He sells a Cuda kit!

Yes the Cuda is coming back as an SRT instead of a Plymouth. If GM have us a TA I'd have one the second they went on sale...same thing if Chevy ever gives us a Chevelle lol

Time to sell the truck, get the camaro paid off, so I can have a 2nd car (Cuda).

Pontiac was my favorite GM division, I have owned Grand Prix's and 2 Trans Am's and I loved them. I thought Pontiac had the best new features and the best interiors of any GM vehicles. I would buy a Trans Am with T-Tops the day they announced they were going to make them. I ordered my SS the week I heard GM was accepting orders for them and would do it again for a Trans Am.

If you have to tell them Pontiac doesn't exist anymore, I'd find someone else to talk to.
