Huge Appearence Opinion Needed... (the feng-shui Firebird...)
Huge Appearence Opinion Needed... (the feng-shui Firebird...)
OK, my woman and I were fighting last night, so I went to my happy place, and remembered the way my bird looked back when I first had it, before a few small bang-ups and a botch paint job on the hood, and I came to the realization that my Black 88 Firebird might look pretty sweet if I just restored it to it's original conditions, so here are my two options, please tell me which you like better.
Option 1 (Original): Ram Air hood, 91 (the flattened out wraparound) GTA spoiler, Formula 16x8 wheels, tint, and custom red lighting from inside the ram air scoops and the Firebird in the back.
Option 2: (feng shui, and much cheaper: Find a stock hood, (have a bondoed TA one now), pedastel spoiler (mine has a chip in it), still use the Formula wheels, and tint.
So what are you guys up for? Bad and loud, or understated and lethal?

GO stock on the appearance, modify the engine and such if you want but if you want to get any resale whatsoever stay stock. Check out my IROC restoration page.
