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

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