this has been brought up before, but i guess this guy has bad taste, but he thinks his ride is awesome, gotta give him a little credit for his work, thats just my opinion, but it does look pretty bad
edit*** i forgot bout the spray painted engine, that is ghetto, i wouldnt be showin that engine to anyone, i'd rather have a 4 banger than that, lol,
Wow, for the amount of work he obviously did on the outside, he could've at least vacuumed the inside and covered up the blue under the hood. Aside from that, I give him a 10 for originality, not my style though.
i honestly kinda like it. Now here me out i worked for evolution racing basically building **** burners before i got mine. It was real good money. The styling itself i think is great its clean looking although i think the spoiler sits to high. The motor is the nastiest **** i've ever seen though maybe if he accented some stuff orange and silver instead of just dumping a can of silver all over the top of the motor and that blue has got to go. Just think of it this way thats one less ***** civic on the road.

Guys got some mad skills, but someone should have taken the 3rd gen away and given him a Prelude before he started the "transformation".
Imagine if he used his powers for good...instead of evil!?!?!?

Well a TA in orange is not that bad of an idea, but after that it goes down hill with the front noce, wing, window banner, rims and that stock looking LG4 with that rattle can paint job!!! What the hell is was he thinking with that front nose???? " Damn i wanted an Eclipse but I am stuck with a Trans Am" I just hope some one buys it and takes the r*cer crap off and burns it!!! lol (while typing this I hear a fart can in the background as it passes my house" lol

Yeah, I really like the front end too. The paint is original and all the exterior work is original. I seriously hope that the owner doesn't think the engine compartment looks good. I mean spray paint!?!?! Come on!
the paint job is neat. i like the black stuff on the hood and the sides. the front end is also kinda cool. the orange sticker on the windshield makes me wanna barf though. and everything else just ****ing sucks.
Maybe I should cut and paste this link to email and send it to the joker selling this "car". I bet he'd love to hear what we had to say..LOL!!!!
Looks like he was trying to get a spot in 2Fast 2Furious, but didn;t make the cut........

He was probally thinknig....
"Damn I wanted a Toyota MR2 but i'm stuck with a trans am"
Seeing as how that front clip is from a Toyota MR2 and not an Eclipse.... :lala:.....I read about in the last thread that was posted about this car......
because of orginality i think the outside isnt that bad..but inside..sheesh ive seen cars in the junkyard with nicer interiors, and that motor..he woulda been better off with a gallon of latex paint..sure woulda gone farther and not looked as half assed
WTF was this dumbass thinking when he mixed an MR2 with a firebird! what was he smoking? how did his daddy treat him as a child?
The exterior, its definetly nice for the originality, but DAMN its a FIREBIRD not an import.
The interior, now thats just disqusting, look at the seat covers too. does the outside of the abused firebird match with the interior at all?
The Engine, i dont have the words to express the stupidity of this guy. all the ability to paint the outside and make it look so pretty, and he takes a spray can of "Chrome" and empties it on the engine (not 2 mention the tubes wich look so elegent with fake chrome on them.)
Feel sorry for the bird, could of gone to a loving family, instead it was transformed into a ricish domestic half-assed dirty "chromed" sorry excuse for a car.
Well i still liek it just think the interior could be changed to a nice orange and black leather 4th gen seats and the motor can be redone casue that color is nasty but look at the bids. No ones bid yet that means i could go offer him 2501$$ and have a car with a body thats worth probaly about 3k pretty good deal. I think it would definately scare the hell outta some ricemobiles just cruisin around town

Well it being any import front clipno matter what it is is disgusting!!!! I mean that the hell is any Import car peice doing on a Trans AM??? And for those who think its cool I know it your own opinion, but why??
What I dont understand is why people do the stupidest sh*t to thirdgens?? I have never seen or heard of a aluminum/ r*cer wing on a 1st or 2nd gen and if there was they would be to afraid to show their faces because it would get riped off in a second!! Or trying to make then look like things they are not?? I dont know I just wish people had more respect for these cars and did not make them look like complete peices of sh*t!!

I agree with the respect thing, but i would rather see a Toyota MR2 clip on that Trans Am, then to see it with no front clip and up on blocks at the local junkyard....

ita at T/A???? From the front it looks like that supra/rx7 from the fast and furious (cus they cant beat throttle with out the help of a bottle) it looks good... formt the front... and what is up with that engine???? looks like its made out of plastic....
the front end does not go with the car at all.......the interior IMO is the best looking part of that hidious monster that is sadly a third gen firebird...
The wing is ghey. The quality of the workmanship outside the car is good. But the nose does not belong on that car. I can't see how anyone could like it. It's original but originality that is in bad taste still gets no points from me. That nose doesn't flow with one damn line on the car. It's horrid.
The orange is bad enough. But the black stuff painted onto it afterwords makes it worse. What's with three different colors of paint under the hood?
You could use it for a parts car but $2500 is steep for that. Besides he ruined most of the usable parts on the thing anyway.

Obviously he's tired of his friends laughing at him and he's selling it. He's trying to pawn that piece of crap off on someone by calling it "Fast and Furious".
The car's furious alright. Furious about being turned into a circus prop car.

The kid seriuosly just wanted to put a kit on a V8, and it shows. The tips aren't centered, he oversprayed terribly with his K-MART spray paint. The interior is obviously stock, and the kit just doesn't go. I would have rather seen a parted out T/A on cinder blocks, or a rusted out hunker with a huge BBC under the hood. Survey says... two smacks in the forehead

well we all agree with that, my bad i was thinkin about the body paints...i know people are expressing their opinions but this subject has been posted many times...Its always the same turnout. Most dont like it, a few do...i know no ones arguin but if the post goes in i bet their will be...apploagies for my paint remark
One of two things happened here. Either the guy bought it himself to save face or a rich dude bought it to sit out on his property and hit golf balls and shoot at it......
