Well Sammycalderon, being sort of an Fbody appearance guru that I am, I can see what you did to your car. First of all, your car is an 82 so you added snowflake wheels from 85-92 birds, and so is that aero wing. I really like your tailight mod. I can see that you used the 85-92 base tailights and blacked out the reverse and turn signal lenses and grided the tail stop lights like on the trans am. How did you you do that because it looks good? I had planned to do the same thing, but wasn't sure how it would look. I want to do that to my tailights now. Since you added stock firebird parts of later years to your car, your car looks ordinary to most people. I know that the parts you added are not stock for your year. I like your car. looks good.

Looks good, Sammy!

One observation; it is time to change the coolant and wiper reservoirs because they look awfully cooked and brown, like they've seen 20 years of underhood heat. New ones are really cheap and make your engine bay look great.

You got it ¡¡¡

Thanks ¡
You catched me ¡ hehehehe
Yeah all true...well the thing i did to grill the tail is simple and kinda ugly ....but it looks good
i bought a black stripe.tape..then i stick a horizontal line
then the verticals hehehe Pretty easy ¡¡
and about the reservoirs ..yeah ..i dont like how they look
and im lookin for a 91-92 Nose or maybe the whole set of bumpers and gfx from a T/A ...im negociating a trade of my rims for Formula 16 x 8 ...but its on the process
The tail thing is simple
I liked the look of the whole tail lighten uop at night of formula /base Birds and also liked the style of the grill of the T/A
so thats what i did ..best of both worlds hehehe
Thank u guys ¡¡

I agree with sitting bull, you're engine bay looks clean except for the engine coolant reservoir. Nice work though, I like it.
