I would go with white face guages from McEwen Motorsports. I just put mine in my camaro and they are awsome.

I would get a front end bra they look good, plus they protect against bugs and other stuff.

ok heres the deal...i can't do white face gages cuz i got a bird which has a different dash than camaro's...i have all full round full size gages which extend almost all the way across the dash so they dont make a kit for that...black-outs are another "no can do"...i have a Firebird which means hide-away headlights...thanks anyway...i know sombody has some good ideas

Yes you can install white faced gauges on your firebird - i've seen the kit. And yes you can put blackouts on your firebird, i've done it personally to my cousins.

Screw spending 100 bucks on blackouts, spend 6 bucks and get the blackout spray and some clear coat...spray your tails black and then clear coat those suckers. 6 bucks and i think the spray looks 100 times better then the blackouts.

No offense to the people with blackouts...its all in the eye of the beholder. I just personally like the spray look better.

oh this is a no brainer, go to walmart and get a @ssload of masking tape, tape it on your car to protect it from overspray, then paint a mean pink racing stripe down the hood,roof, and hatch. hell man, thats a 1 day project.. hey man I had to do something stupid for my 200th post.....
but seriously,hmmm...if I had a hundred bucks burning a hole in my pocket, I would probably redo my rims, and spray the wheelwells with the black rubber protective spray. not only would it look cleaner, but the wheelwell gap between the tire and wheelwell would not seem so big....
