i don't want to start a flame war so i want to say that up front. this is only for sportcoupe lovers. don't come in and spread the gfx propaganda.

here is my challenge to all sportcoupe owners. provide pictures to let everyone know how good these things can look. i am in the middle of simplifying my car. these cars, if done right, can look like some of the meanest cars on the streets. very drag race looking. even the ones slammed to the ground with 17's look right. lets get these cars looking great! i will provide an updated picture of the car within the day. gotta get my parents camera. you can see in my sig how it looked about 2 months ago. my plans for the next month or two is to get a 3" cervini's cowl hood and get it as much prepped for paint as possible. what's your goals with your sportcoupes?

 

heres mine...

 

GFX ROCK!!












jk... i think sport coupes look aswome with no gfx

 

my sport coupe doesnt look good right now, its half primer and half factory red. i didn't wanna paint it right before winter as its going to sit outside. i should be repainting it by spring.

as for my goals. the 350 is gettin bored .030 over and ive already got the performance goodies that are going into the motor.
my car was originally an automatic 2.8 car. now ive got all the interior and automatic stuff out of it. and its all getting switched to a 5 speed. 8 point roll cage is getting installed soon. i will also be keeping my car lightweight.

probably the only thing im not changing about my car are the GFX, they're stayin off

o and heres a pic of how it looks right now.

 

heres mine

 

my sport coupe has gfx....always has though, so I dont have any pics w/o them. I admit that they look mean as hell without gfx, but I just never liked the front bumpers on our sport coupes

 

...

 

i always loved your car man :hail: I would never dare to put gfx on that sucker

 

...

 

do you have more pics of your car?? also whats your AOL >

 

.......

 

hey i emailed u

 

82firebirdta you have one of my favorite birds on this site. another one of my favorites is 1tinindian, his car also doesnt have gfx.

btw i lvoe that color silver, do you have the code off hand? or name of it for that matter.

 

that car is beautiful.



i think no gfx third gens can look good but problem is...they are rare to come by...most people who put lots of money into third gens will upgrade to gfx...so im waiting to see a very customized third gen with no gfx

 

Here's the most recent pic of mine with 92 RS wheels. It needs a matching door as you can see.

 

No GFX.........

 

those are some clean sportcoupes! i should have an up-to-date pic of the car in the morning. didn't get to my parents before the sun went down. oh well. i just took off the spoiler too! other then the holes there, i think it looks WAY better. i will be filling the holes in on friday or saturday.

 

anyone have an extra sportcoupe front grill laying around by chance?

 

as you can see, i need to do some body work to the car yet. filling the holes in on the side of the car and deck lid from the spoiler sometime Friday or Saturday. Cervini's 3" cowl hood should find it's way onto this car in the next month, then new doors and mirror assemblies. i have a rust issue on the passenger side rear quarter panel that will need attention after the holes are filled in. anyhow, here is some pretty good pictures from this morning. don't mind the dirtiness, it's been raining here everyday i have the chance to wash the car. no i haven't been mud bogging, my driveway is grass. (live out in the country)



thinking about cutting 1/2 a coil or 1 coil in the front to lower the car a little. won't make it too stiff since it has v6 springs up there. don't want it too low, just maybe a 1/4"-1/2" lower than it is right now

 

Needs some body work and a fresh coat of paint.

 

I dont car what anyone says the sport coupes look 10x better lowered on 17's or 18's then the gfx do. They do look better as drag cars to u see more of the tire in the back half isnt covered by the quarter ground effect. Not saying gfx cars are ugly i love them to but i would take a sport coupe over gfx car anyday of the week. Im in process or redoing mine.

 

I also made this in paint. I think it looks pretty sweet.

 

What's up with the "GFX haters unite" thing?


Anyways, there are some nice looking non-gfx'd thirdgens in this thread!

 

Not mine, its ugly but fast. lol

:lala:

 

you know, i am not really sure. i was being funny one night and just put it in my sig. i think my thought behind it was that everyone seems to rally behind people that say "put gfx on it!" that's all i heard when i got this car from locals and people that post on the internet. i considered it for a long time, heck, my old 89 was a gfx car and so is my dad's 85. but i got to thinking about it one day and said "hey, it looks pretty mean without the gfx on it!" funny thing is, the "haters" ARE uniting! and more and more people are standing up for what they really think looks cool as opposed to what the masses think. just my $.02

 

I don't hate GFX, I love them. But we SC brothers need to stick together!

 

Do berlinettas count?

 

yeah, berlinetta's count

but yours doesn't, it's a z-linetta!!!

 

lol maybe i need my own thread "Z-linettas only"

 

Im def. not hating on gfx just sport coupe is nicer to me. Although i own an 84z28 and im in process of buying a 91 z28. Just think sc's are cooler.

 

I'm bringin' this SC back to life! I wanted to put the GFX on it when I first got it, but I've grown to love the way it looks without them. I won't have to worry about ripping them off after I lower it either!

 

Heres a couple of pics of my sc. I like thirdgens with and without gfx. The cars without gfx cars look great as drag cars while the ones with gfx look better lowered with 17in rims for the pro touring look.

 

I've cut the front springs lowered the front end since this pic..I need to take some new pics in the spring.

 

Werd. That looks killer! :hail:

 

jbenge can i get some sizes of those weld pro star wheels?

what backspacing did you use also

 

Boss!

 

yeah, jbenge has by far, the best looking sc i have ever seen, and his is the inspiration for my car. mine will see a slightly larger cowl (3" instead of 2") and will be red(wished i could do black, but....money...)

 

i would also like to do black with my car........but......money.....have none

 

jbenge, your car is awsome!

:hail:

Kyle
