While I usually don't like badging that doesn't belong with the car, the GTP on the back actually got a double-take out of me, so they didn't do too bad.

Wheels look offset a little too far from the head-on view, and I'm assuming that's not the normal grill piece for a '92, but it also doesn't look painted (I thought they looked like that only in 1990 and 1991 - doesn't look bad though.

The Generation I 3.1L V6 was an astonishing feat of engineering as it had the best of both worlds:

The power of a 4-cylinder, yet the fuel economy of a V8.

He had to do it himself.  Look at the HOOD.  It has the TGP hood louvers.

The TGP (and up tp 1991 STE with the TWIN CAM) got the LONG hood louvers.  The 1993 GT and GTP would have the SHORT louvers.  That one has LONG, so he had to install it himself.

Also, he does not have the trip computer.  The GTP for that era would have it.

I thought only the turbo STEs had hood louvers (long), then the 1994-96 GT had them as well (short).

All 3.4 STEs as well as SEs (coupe or sedan) I have seen did not have any louvers.

I have seen several of the STE's with the 3.4 and the long louvers.

Yeah it is the stock lightbar, he just painted it with the rest of the car.  

Sad day for sure, a TRUE 3.4 sedan from 92.  Definitely rare.

prolly an accident, iv done it a time or 2, searched somthing, read it, felt compelled to say somthing, say it, then realize its years old, lol. I find that the painted lightbar makes that car look horrible, like some 1988 base model LE grand prix or somthing. Nothin wrong with a lightbar, were fightin those sables!
