Hey I'll admit I dont like the rims.

I find very very few rims I like on cars, mine included so thats not personal.


But u do have a damned fine looking Bird.

I cant wait for the day my 91 Formie 350 looks like that again(like when new)

Reason I bought that car is I love them in that red

throw a few more pics fo your car out for us to drool at lol

later
Jeremy

I don't think the kick panels are in it right now, you can see the holes they look like they mount to.
