Blue Firehawk clone?
Ive wanted a firehawk clone since I first saw the real deal. IMO the 3rd gen firehawk is the sexiest car GM built. And I know there were 2 blue ones. Well, one Aqua, and one Blue. I wonder what it would look like if I turned my car into a clone? It wouldnt be too hard, I wouldnt want a perfect clone, just the look. Wheels, tires, and a wing swap, and Im there. I plan on a t-5 or t-56 swap in the future, as well as an engine swap.
I cant rule out the C5 or C6 wheels either. Im wanting to make the car a little funner to drive. And my wife hates it now, because of the wheels. But she drives a minivan. What does she know.
What do you guys think? Any pictures of the blue Firehawk floating around? Its like a dang unicorn. I can find the green, white, and most of the reds. The Aqua is rare, but Ive only seen a rearveiw of the blue, and its a crappy picture.

As far as clones are never represented a a true "whatever", I like clones. You can duplicate a car a LOT cheaper than buying a true one & have the SAME car...minus the paperwork.

Re: Blue Firehawk clone?
Yeah, especially since you wont find a real 3rd gen firehawk for sale. And even if you did, I couldnt afford it.
I dont think Id want the responsibility of owning a one-of-one or a one-of twenty-five car anyway. But those firehawks haunt my dreams at night. Its such a beautiful car. Ive just never seen a good picture of the blue one. And dont know if itll look as good as the red ones.

Re: Blue Firehawk clone?
Iv never seen a blue one ether..just make yours a clone. Iv wanted to do it to my GTA. With the emblems and wheels. I like the GTA wheels to much to get rid of um. But just do it and make it yours and have fun with it. It would look bad ***. Just get rid of the Ground Effects (or do you have them? cant tell), new stickers (clear over them) put the fiberglass wing on, and the ronal wheels and paint the insets the color of your car. That would look SICK!!
