Oh, I've tried. Unless I completely strip them and refinish them, they won't look nice. I'm just gonna keep those as winter beaters until I get a nice set of rims.

Sorry for the confusion. rwdtech was right. I meant use some tire shine. Makes a huge difference in appearance. Car looks great either way. Where did you get that hood?

The Blue 'Bird is my dad's 84 LC1. Sorry, not pictures of it.

I do plan on removing the door guards / fender Firebird Emblems, along with the Fuel Injected emblems on the cowl, just waiting for warmer weather so the residue they leave behind is easier to deal with. Thanks for the comments all!
----------
The Hood is a 3" Cowl from Harwood Industries. Bought it on ebay used and already painted Arctic white for $150.00. =D
