The team over at Trans Am Depot showed off a revised version of their Pontiac conversion of the 2010 Chevy Camaro at this week's SEMA Show. Compared to the original Phoenix T/A that was revealed earlier this year (see photos after the jump), the new model features some stylistic upgrades such as the reworked graphics, a new front fascia with quad headlights, revised lower air inlets and a ground effects package with chunky side skirts and a front apron, all of which bring closer in looks to the 1977-1978 Pontiac Trans Am.The Phoenix T/A kit also includes other body parts such as the new hood with a shaker scoop, specific front fenders and rear fascia complete with taillights and a boot spoiler. The 20-inch gold or silver machined face snowflake wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero 305/35ZR20 tires and the unique tail pipes plus the interior trim and badge appointments complete the cosmetic package.
Trans Am Depot will also offer a range of performance upgrades including a suspension and engine kit for Camaro SS' V8 powerhouse.
The company plans to sell the Phoenix T/A as a completed model (based on the Camaro SS) or as a conversion kit starting early next year.

Similar to Burt Reynolds this too looks as though it has had a facelift of a hideous magnitude. Why?
Pretty hot!
I like the front, but those tail lights?? WTF?? just ugly...
You know, compared to the white one seen earlier this week, I like this FAR more.
It must be the black and the rims.
The basis for NEW new K.I.T.T.!
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
we're gonna do what they say can't be done.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run.
Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make.
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarcana.
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.

Ol' Smokey's got them ears on and he's hot on your trail.
He aint gonna rest 'til you're in jail.
So you got to dodge 'im and you got to duck 'im,
you got to keep that diesel truckin'.
Just put that hammer down and give it hell.

guys is an old car ! so sure the look it might look ugly but u have to image the old car turn into modern look. is already WOW for it.
Im a Mustang owner but have to say damn, that is such an AWESOME car, im saving already! All the new Modern day muscle cars have gone retro and they all look amazing, Mustang 2005-2009 New Dodge, New Camaro, and now this beauty!
I'll be damned if this doesn't look like a Hick Country 70's Hillbilly Mobile. What we have here then is a case of Automotive Rape gone from bad to horrid. None of this conversions look good, never mind that there are one or two good reasons why the Grand AM is dead. I pity the poor souls who spent their dime and time on this. But, then again, it shows how little inspiration and creativity people have this days.
well im one of the poor souls that will spend my money on this! this car looks fooking awesome!!! each to their own i guess but i fail to see how people can not like this>?
Front is alright, but just like the Camaro SS, the rear end of the car is freaking hideous!
This is awesome! It's really what the T/A was. A rebadged Camaro with a sharper,cooler look
MAYBE GM SHOULD HAVE KEPT PONTIAC!!!!!!!
This is absolutely horrendously stupidly disgustingly ugly and flamboyant. There is no modern creativity here. You can't just throw on some ugly replacement bumpers, ugly paint, ugly seats, ugly lights, and call it a TA. Its called retro not try to replicate. The only modern twist on this is that its on the body of a new camaro. They didn't replicate the old camaro. They used it for inspiration and put a heavy modern twist on it. Since the camaro came out I thought it was a damn shame that pontiac went under because I would love to see a trans am. It certainly wouldn't look like this though.
