It's much better than the Lingenfelter. The rear lip spoiler is fucking retarded though. It would look garish even on the Batmobile. And I don't like the taillamps, but that's mainly because this car seems to emulate the smaller lamps of the early 2nd gens, and I prefer the mid to later 2nd-gens that had the wider taillamps or the full-width taillight stripe. But everything else is pretty much just what I'd expect from a new Firebird.

I was going to post this one but Big J beat me. The front end looks like it should for a retro look for the '77/'78 model. The spoiler looks a bit retarded though.

Also I can't make out the look of the taillights because they are blacked out.

This is better. It isn't ugly and cobbled together and overstyled retro for retro's sake. I'd actually drive this around without a paper bag over my head.
However what bothers me about both of them is that they're trying to put 2nd-gen F-body cues on a car design to look like a 1st gen F-body, and the styles are to different to really mesh. Why not try something that looks like a '69 Trans Am? Those were plenty pretty enough.

yeah, it's really hard to see. I think the little curved pieces on each side of where it says "Trans Am" are the tails. but really, it would have loked a whole lot better looking like the same style the bandit TA's had, full-width across the back of the car with little ribs running across it. That woulda looked sexy.
