Default 71 flairs

Funny when I first bought my $300 70 1/2 bird (Espirit)
I put all the Ta flairs etc... They were the biggest cone collectors
I had for a long time... was running a 69 Ta clone before and the wider car
with the flairs took a while to adjust.. but for a beater car they
looked cool

I like the look myself and would build it. Primarily with the TA fenders though.
Panel fitment and color would be key. A dark color (black or blue) or using one of the original colors like Lucerne Blue might be easier in keeping it looking 'clean'. Tropical Lime might be over the top ( or really cool ).
Imagine the last car with the Formula hood.

Not so sure if the same look can be pulled off with the 71s vents.

I originally wanted to make mine look more like a Trans Am, but the look my car has now has grown on me so much that I don't want to do the conversion:

That's a beauty! Very classy and clean.
I wouldn't touch a thing.

I wouldn't mess with it either, but I like the simpler look (Camaro).
