You know I've never liked your front end, or even your rear end, for that matter. Mines much better looking.

Yes, it needs something up front. But looks way better without the factory ones, than with them.
Nose being pointed did take some getting used to.... wanted a Iroc front clip at first, but now I appreciate mine more cause mine stands out more than most 3RD'S! Thanks for the comments

Do you have a broken window in the back or is that just a shaggy blue blanket on the top of your passenger seat?
Minus the Cragars/BFG I bought this car as my Daily Driver for $2,700 and never dawned on me that the front GFX where missing as IMOP the car blends good enough for me! Love this car as is.

I have that rear too. Shhh, don't tell the state piglets but one time I was crusin' 110 down the interstate and it was only @ 3k rpms. I know it would have went faster but I had a magnetic cb antanna on the roof and I was pushing it with that as it was.

I'm imagining with the wind drag and all, it may be around 140-160 MPH maximum top speed. Just a guess.

Re: "artistic" shots of Firebirds and T/A's, Post Up!

thanks! the wheels are 15x7 Cragar Black D Window (4" backspacing) and the tires are Cooper Cobra Radial GT P235/60R15. the tires are pretty good- these are the 2nd set of them i've had. they're all-weather performance tires. they have a little more grip than most all-weather tires. not bad in the rain or light snow, great on dry roads. summit's price is a bit high- i got them for $93 per tire- and that's including mounting, balancing, and the valve stem. the guy i went to had to special order them and go pick them up from the warehouse, but i had them on the car by the end of the day.

Thanks punkdude! That was my first try at it, I need to go back and fix a few things.

firebird - as far as I know they are GTA rims, they are actually gunmetal+brake dust, I need to repaint them to match the spoiler.
