My firebird and future mods

This is my 91 firebird with a v6. Lee7 and I have been working on it since I bought it. It used to be green.

Im thinking i'll get smoke tint and get a big red phoenix or a red pontiac arrowhead on the hatch which i think will look nice making contrast with the black tint. also ill get the red phoenix that goes on the hubcaps instead of the silver ones.

I was thinking about getting a v8 but since they are working on headers for the v6 i guess ill keep it. Besides, gas aint getting any cheaper haha.

Lee thinks I should lower it a bit and get a ram air hood on it. I put black crome tips on the exhaust i dont think it looks bad, what do you guys think?

the tips stick a little farout for my tastes but overall sounds fun, if its anything like the white 91' I drive till I finish my 84 its a very nice car.

I know they do stick out a lil too much but thats because they wouldn't let me pass the state inspection without em. They said they were too short.

I have a softspot for 91-92 birdys, for obvious reasons. I like...but IMO, if you get a ram air hood, you need a different spoiler too, so it doesnt look saggy in the back, like mine does.

youre right about the spoiler and i wouldn't lift the car. Mud flaps came with the car and i think theyre ok the have the pontiac arrowhead on the back so they dont look so bad

saves your paint though. especially in the front. it does hurt the appearence though. i dont mind them either way. my brother has flaps on the front of his firehawk and i didnt even notice untill he pointed them out
