thats really sweet. the black engine bay looks better than white, but one bad thing is u might get people asking if the car was repainted cause the engine bay is black.

could you also post exterior shots of the car? i have a thing for 91-92 birds

that is actually one of the better lookin thirdgens with Z06 wheels i seen. i normally dont like Z06 wheels on our cars but they look good on the 91-92 firebirds/transams

Really looks great. The way the wheels look and the lowering really add to the overall great look. Nice job taking the pics as well.
