Can anyone tell me where to find free Technical Service Boards for a 2002 Trans AM WS6?

I am not sure, but the dealer will give them to you if you ask. What is your trouble? I know something about the TSB related to F-bodies.

I just bought a 2002 TA WS6 and the dealer took the front plate-with the firbird emblem off and put a dealership add in its place. I want to put that plate back. The fittings are missing....OK...so are they barbs/barbed fittings-or are they screws. The i.d. is not the same as that for license plate screws...it is smaller ...has to be nylon....cannot imagine using metal to hold that in place..

Can you answer this? I would appreciate the help...I know it is simple...but woulod like validation/verification....

Mine just has two screws at the top and two tabs that slide into the bumper in the bottom.

Thank You...OK my screws are on the bottom...and so are the tabs....but it worked...THANK YOU

OK my next

question: I am going to try and describe this as best I can: above the ashtray there is small little rectangular panel where ther is a traction switch....ok to the left of this panel I have the pontiac emblem....in the center there is this circular spot looks like it has been filled with some kind of shiny rubberized material....like some hole was there and has been covered up....just to the right is the traction switch...

Question: any thoughts on exactly what was where that filled in hole is now.

Also, really strange how when I use my windshield cleaner on the front windows...some how I see this spray appear on the hatchback. I do not have a rear windshield wiper and I do not remember my first TA same exact model having one either....i am not imagining this....I tested it....

Maybe someone had a nitrous switch there???

OK, well this car is absolutly pristine. Only 3600 miles. Looks garage kept to me. Not one oz of oxidation. It is the bomb....

You really think that someone would put a nitrous switch there

...Well, as a chemist I have learned people will do so really strange things...anything is possible...strange place to put a nitrous switch.....OK I have heard stranger....Maybe I will put one there....I think I could whip up some extra powerful nitrous rather easily....maybe come up with something even better....OK you have given me something to work on...

Except for that covered up hole. And it Kicks....way more powerful than that 2001 TA WS6 I had in TX-and that one was loaded....100% custom-The owner of Shipley's Donuts in Bryan, TX had it 2 weeks 2100 miles and his wife made him trade it in for a Yukon (5 kids). At the time I traded in my Camaro (6 cyl pea-shooter) and put 3K down got that honey for 14K....but it was black...never ever never ever never never never again a black car...paint begins to look terrible esp in TX....

The paint job on that black TA really suffered....and all that crap falling off all those trucks at 90 mph....took its toll ...In fact ,in my whole life I never had to replace so many windshilds, tires, had dents pulled from hail damage... I drove that brand new Camaro off the lot..parked it and had $400.00 in hail damage to the hood within 1 hour of ownership), not to mention the brand new Buick I brought in there from Chicago - lost in a flash flood (7 feet of disgusting muddy water) right in front of the TAMU cyclotron.....IT IS A HARD LIFE FOR A CAR IN TEXAS....ROTFLMFAO.....

This 2002 TA, I love it ....I love this car...I love it in white...beautiful, just stunning...even has auto ignition. So now I have a new hobby. I am going to customize this car. I have found one or two sites that look promising-where I can start customizing it. So if you know of any places I can go and look for stuff for this baby let me know.....

And you see I really need a hobby...now that none of my co-workers will talk to me (lucky me-Woo Hoo) I have 100% peace and quiet and I can focus on searching the web for stuff for my new TA...Oh the Joys Of Owning This Car.... WOO HOO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Thanks for answering my questions.

Could be someone deleted the cigarette lighter.

I am looking for advice. I want to get a really good set of tires. I know my old TA had Eagle tires of some sort. Can you please comment...make a suggestion??? i cannot remember waht I had on my 2001.

I am considering changing the wheels...not sure I want to do that. I like the logo (Pontiac) would rather have WS-6.

I am going to put custom Trans Am mats in the car...I did find some on line.

I think I am going to fill-in the Pontiac insignia on the back with the chrome/silver lettering...

License plates....I have a question...I am going to put a Trans Am plate in the rear. In the front I am going to put that clear/translucent cover-has a firbird on it....so there would be no plate frame on the front???? Am I right?

I have Fusion ZRis on my WS6 I love them!

I'll chime in with a vote for Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Tires. Excellent tire. Supurb in Wet and Dry weather.
