Hes not being a jerkoff just wondering if he can hit it probably...HAHA, but I was going to say I dont think you should be looking at ebay for bodykits let alone a bodykit period for the 3rg gen firebirds, mainly because NOT 1 kit has come out to be superior to the stock 3rd gens nor have they even been of good quality...so take both of those into account and realize a bodykit is something for the import nation...

I have a 1986 Nissan 300zx so no im not dissing imports, I love them, but they were invented for them so lets keep it that way..haha, unless you can find a nice AERO KIT, which is kind of what I would like for my 300 but its an old car so not much for it....and my camaro has IROC GFX so its all good.

You have pictures of your bird?

Re: ebay bodykit

C'mon guys, he asked a legitimate question.

Most of us third-genners feel that the original body contours of our cars are some of the best styled vehicles ever built, and GM made a selection of OEM aero packages that spice them up, are quality materials and good fit, and don't make the car look like a cartoon.

Having said that, most people on this board take a dim view of cars from any manufacturer that have giant wings, scoops and cracked, primered, ill-fitting ground effects and giant wheels on a car where the stereo has more power than the engine.

Resto-mod is far and away the dominant style here. Keep the body stock as much as possible, add nice wheels, maybe lower it a bit, single-color paint schemes, and concentrate on upgrading the ENGINE, suspension and brakes. The "rycer look" often creates a very rude response from most domestic car enthusiasts, so that term has been pretty much banned from domestic automotive sites and is not used in polite conversation. Just something to consider if you don't want to be insulted when you drive your car around.

In the end it's your car, do what you like.
