If I ever own a 3rd gen Firebird, it will look exactly like that.

I love it :lala:

is it the hood and shadows playing with my mind or does the car sit lower on the driver's side in the rear and the passenger side in the front?

Might be the way the pavement sits. It is not the most level parking lot.

One suggestion. Buff those tailights! It makes it look a thousand times better.

Yeah, needs to be lowered. I will be doing a full suspension upgrade this winter.

I usually buff the tailights about once a year. The lights still look good, the center panel looks like crap though.

FLYINLOW: finally sold my house here, still considering moving to FL. Have a few things to take care of before I can move.

Hey Formula8,
Just a quick question about the rims. Did you have to do anything special to get the 17x9.5 wheels to fit? I am thinking of getting a set of 4th gen trans am wheels the same size. I know I will need adapters but just wondering about the size and how they fit. Car looks awesome.

Gambit:

To fit 4th gen rims, you need to buy some thick spacers for the front. They can be bought from a couple of sources. I do not remember who, though.


J's T/A:

You T/A looks SWEET! My car does sit lower on the rear passenger side because of 90,000 hard miles on the original springs and 60,000 miles on some Pep Boys rear shocks.
