My 88 formula....

I just swapped for older style tail lights today, and I took a pic of it lowered 2" front and back. The car is filthy, its crappy weather here today to wash it

The front wouldnt go any lower when I heated the springs, gonna have to take out the rubber stoppers....

The wheels are not a stock color, I'm in the process of buying TT2s in 17"

Oh and lastly the spoiler will be removed soon, its all cracking and bulging out, I piced up a lower firebird one today....

ive never liked those wheels. Best yet has been the black one someone posted. I do like the new tail lights. I had em on my t/a. I dont like the ones you had before. I like the 2nd ones and the ones on later model 3rdgen birds. Great job.

Get the single piece blackouts for the tails and that'd look good. As soon as you can buy actual lowering springs or cut stock ones, don't heat them...
What color are the wheels gunmetal or something? Look weird but cool.

I like the new tails...but I'm a bit partial I have an 82 =)


I can't tell from your pic, but are they the smoked TA kind or the non smoked base Firebird kind? Because it kind of seems like you have smoked outer ones, but the center piece seems non smoked. It could just be the picture though.

Those older ones only look good on older cars, like SC82TA's. They dont look good with the wing. I say put your old ones back on.

I like the new tails, sort of a throwback to the late 2nd Gen 79-81 tails.

What car did they come off of?
