5th gen Firebird (My rendition)
I've seen a lot of conversions from aftermarket companies, but they are based on the 2nd gen Trans Am, rather than the 1st Gen, which would make more sense seeing as its what the Camaro was designed after. So, I decided to come up with something myself. This is what I have, as far as the nose of the car goes.
What do you think? It makes you wonder: what could the designers at GM come up with? (Sorry if this is the wrong section) |

Your rendition makes much more sense than other Trans Am conversions. I like it! It's great how you echoed the tail lights in your headlights. I also like the turn signal/marker lights, nicely integrated.

Your design is much better than the after market Firebird fascias I have seen.

I'd like it if the grills were a little smaller.

Pretty sure these are just 'dreams'... as Pontiac is dead and buried. Aftermarket is another story altogether; there are aftermarket 'birds out there, just none i've seen that replicate the 1st gen.
