For the most part, I have the performance stuff down, with the exception of a few more goodies

The big question I have now is, how can I get my firebird to look as good as my old Camaro did? I have been debating on ground effects, because if I put them on, it should look really nice, but then again, it is added weight and will produce higher drag when going down the 1/4 mile.

I thought about 85-90 ground effects because it would take minimal modifications to put them on and they would be cheaper, but then I thought about putting on a Ram Air II hood on as well, but they look a lot nicer with 91-92 ground effects (imho) but that would be more costly to switch to 91-92's and take more modifying.

Of course, I am going to be painting it soon. The big runners so far are yellow, platinum or color changing paint with ghost flames. Any thoughts and/or pictures GREATLY appreciated!

1 solid color and ROH ZS wheels. Beyond that I wouldn't touch it.
Just picture Tom Keliher's car in your color.

Well, maybe a RA1 hood, but I'm not finding fault with your hood.

 

Tom Keliher's car? Do you have a pic? The hood is a 2 1/2" cowl hood already.

Also ... what about the front and back 'black' rubber or plastic bumpers? Paint over them or make them the same color as I am getting it painted?

Jim, nice cars by the way

 

I agree w/ Jim...I would not change a thing with your Birds appearance. Looks perfect. (Can you say sleeper!)

 

It's funny because no one even thinks about it being fast Then they hear it start up and go 'hmmm...*maybe* 13's'

HAHAHA

 

Did you ever sell that supercharged camaro.. just curious..

 

Yup, I sure did ... and interestingly enough, the new owner made $200 off of a big mouthed modified LS1 T/A Ram Air in a race. He drug him from 0 - 115 with it!

 

Honestly, I would not touch one thing on that car. I really like the sleeper appeal too....I can see you making some money on the side with the Firebird, if you know what I mean.

 

I suppose you are right. It may be best just to leave it like it is, and get it repainted along with new wheels and call it a mint condition stock formula....then take people's money Any other thoughts from other people, let me know!

PS ... I looked at Tom's Car ... turns out I have the issue of GMHTP he was in. The previous owner of the Red IROC on the front put on my supercharger for me on my IROC that I just sold. Anyway, I never thought anything of Tom's car because I normally am into the more flashy type of car, but after really looking at it, I have come to realize that his car is very nice looking! ... Go figure ... he was featured in a magazine for cryin' out loud!

 

I would keep the black bumper inserts black. I have seen them painted and I really don't like it. Not to mention it will chip at the slightest hit. Leave them be. Your bird looks good, a definate sleeper!

 

I am just used to sticking out a bit, thats all. Here are some birdies from the board that I liked (and photochopped a bit too )
