Interesting concept..does that paint glo in the dark..hehe JK!
The interior is nice and clean, although the wing looks a bit out of place IMO. Also the chain around the drivers license looks a bit aloof.

Sorry I never read your sig about those being S-10 wheeles,I just never thought they had those pair of nipples between the spokes. I also agree the chain frame looks out of place without any other chrome on the car.

well, I guess if thats what you like. The wing isn't workin' with the car. I dont really like the color,but hey if thats what you like you doin good. Does the green hurt your eyes after a while. it kinda seems like a bother

WOW. Very very bright! The only thing I don't like is the wing, I mean, why? But the car is very clean and good job with it. IF it were my car, I'd paint it, but if you like it that color than congratz. have fun with it.

i like the steering wheel....ya thats about it.
LoL definitly not my style but its well done. The only thing that i think looks like crap is that wing. It has nothing to do with the style but its just the completly wrong size for the car. Its not wide enough, doesnt look like it was centered properly anyways, and is a little bit too tall for how thin the spokes that attach it to the hood are

Excellent work on the paint and interior, however the style is nowhere near my taste and I find it tacky, however
and great work, whatever floats your boat.

Its not what you like, its what he likes, but you have to admit, there is quality in that work, although his taste leaves a lot to be desired.

I like the wheels, stance, and the exhaust tips.
I hate the wing and bright colors don't do much for me (except orange). I think maybe if the whole car was lime green not two toned and you got rid of that wing it would look a whole lot better. :lala:

I'm telling you, instead of putting a big bird on the hood........You should this logo on there
That would be absolutly hysterical
on a more serious note, the wing looks a little out place, but the rest of the car flows together nicely with what you have done with the colors by incorporating it into the interior?
Did you carry the color combo into the engine bay?

I think the wing is A: Too small for that big of a car B: Too high for that car C: Doesn't flow with the symetrics (SP&lack of better word) of the car D: Is over all no good for the car.
The color scheme all works together, yes it is bright but its still pretty cool. The wheels look good on the car and atleast your interior all matches and goes with the exterior of the car.
I give it a B- because of the wing. Change the wing or get rid of it entirely (Unless you like it then keep it)

Theres some stuff here and there i dont particularly care for but the diferent"ness" of it makes it cool. I love thirdgens that push the limit and are done the opposite way everyone thinks they should be. Definately cool, and that interior is freaking wild. Good job making something different bro!

Over all i like the car, like the wheels, like the paint scheme, and rather than saying that i hate the wing I will say that I think that car would look rather good with a factory camaro style hi rise spoiler or something similar
have fun with it

flynlow i forgot about the j-d logo

85 zed28 no adapters but it is a drum brake rear the wheels have a little more ofset
THE WING it is centered and the ends cut to try and match th angle of the tailights and rear window from behind i like flynlows wing but i thought it was TM to him still lookin at at my sons 93 t/a spoiler but it needs to be more square i think
pasky thanks for getting it i do work on it a lot i wont pretend i dont care what people think but ultimatly i have to please myself

Immediatly brings to mind an old qoute from American Grafitti
"Looks like a cross between puke green and **** yellow"
You did a nice job for what it is. The interior (although way to loud for me) looks very nicely done. Not like you just taped and spray painted, you obviously have alot of work into it and its definatly a clean car, just not my style.
Do you have another shot from the side, I wouldn't mind seeing a better angle of those wheels.

imo the wing is dreadful. The wheels are a nice touch and I like the fact that its all color combo'd like that, even though I hate the colors.
But great job on it, looks like you worked hard!

i like it besides the wing. my vote is sell the wing to some *****, and buy
A. High Rise Z28
B. Hawks 5 Inch
C. 4th gen T/A
or if you wanted to keep the different aspect going, mold on a spoiler off of a 98-up SS

If I rember right he paints cars etc for a living, right? The car looks great except the wing, I wouldn't have a car that color for a daily driver but for a show car its good.
I would say you really need to get a trans am spoiler 90-92 style that would match the scheme of the car far better than what you have. These cars need a spoiler that adds to the shape of the rear end other wise its rear is odd looking to me, I cant stand them without spoilers either. I would avoid the high rise z28 also they don't line up right on the birds fenders.

That car is hot, if you get rid of the "do it yourself" wing..
Whenever I get a TA, it will not have any type of spoiler. I just love the way it looks without it.. But hell that's just me.
The wheels look awesome on that car, and it is definitely clean.
I you kill the wing, I'd drive it...

you should take the wing off and paint the whole car black, That would match well with the yellow in the interior, that be a nasty ride

I'm kinda in the middle ground of liking it and not liking it...
The good:
Excellent workmanship and color matching
Nice wheels
Aluminum e-brake and B&M shifter (plus pedals) look great
The bad:
The wing doesn't fit at all... even for an import it would look strange
Color is a bit flashy and importish looking
As far as I can tell, no emblems to show off the "Firebird" designation (that's really a personal thing I have though)
All in all, I think you have a great car there with excellent workmanship which shows very easily. The color scheme is a bit flashy for my taste but I really do admire that you did such a good job with it and didn't just throw crap on there.
I really think the wing is the only thing bringing the car down. Ditch it and go with a standard 82-86 Trans Am spoiler (flat-wing). I think it would go perfect with that car.

Yeah nice job, I also like the Camaro ground effects on it with the air dam on the side. Interesting wheels, they look good. Overall real nice job. I would tend to agree with most on the wing, but its your ride and as long as your taking care of it, do it how you like it.
