opinion's for an 84 firebird.

to start out. how often do you see a v6 in shows? method to the madness.........? no idea but it sounded like a good idea and it's too late to turn back.


I am going orange and black all around inside and out.

in opinion black flames, stripes or scallops for the body?

for emblems 60's or 70? if so what year? cause I want to match a hood bird.

gfx, will the 92 camaro gfx with the vents fit a 84 firebird?


now for int.

should I match the dash with orange or just go staight black?

now orange and black on the front seats at least. I mean viynal for sure.

orange neon and as much orange accent as possible for sure.


1 more ext question and thats orange lights around and be hind the grill.



your opinions are welcome. and I mean say what you want.

Everyday! Mine & Kari's are both 2.8s and are both show cars!

What orange? Hugger? Black flames will give you more black. It will probably look cool on a orange car. you don't see many black flame jobs!

Stripes would be easier. You could even have them done in vinyl to be sure they are what you want before you paint them on!

Not sure about scallops. Having trouble picturing them...

for emblems 60's or 70? if so what year? cause I want to match a hood bird..
Mine are red and black off a 2nd gen bird. But they might clash with an orange car

gfx, will the 92 camaro gfx with the vents fit a 84 firebird?
the sides will fit any 3rd gen f-body! The nose and rear gfx will not. Bird have longer fenders and quarters...

I would go black with some small orange accents. Orange is bright and alot of it will over power you and look cheap!

now orange and black on the front seats at least. I mean viynal for sure..
talk to Hawks 3rd gen... he can do Hampton vinyl seat covers in custom colors! They look and feel as good as leather, for a fraction of the cost. I have a red & Black set they are great quality. I'm installing them on a set of PMDs!

orange neon and as much orange accent as possible for sure.
Again try to not got to overboard. Do a little at a time to be sure you like it, you can always add more...but tasking it away is alot harder!

1 more ext question and thats orange lights around and be hind the grill..
That would lok cool! Just make sure you see the glow and not the neon tubes thru the grills!
