If your car looks identical to that then there really is nothing you can do to make it look more appealing. Just drive it and take care of it.

Re: 91 Firebird GTA - Need Opinions

if you dont like it, i will take it off your hands cheap

but seriously, if you car is that clean, leave it alone, its a veru nice looking car. If you really need to do something, custom wheels are always nice.

What style do you prefer? Spoke or Mesh? What finish? Color? And what price range?

Re: 91 Firebird GTA - Need Opinions

That is a very nice looking car.

I wouldn't do a thing to if it looks like that. Tint the windows, custom exhaust and very clean interior and it is as appealing as you can get. Don't change a thing.

Keep it original, there aren't many 91-92 GTA in good shape anymore.

I have a 91 Firebird that looks like a GTA and I am in the middle of a new paint job due to the old GM paint and peel effect.

The gold stock rims only look kicka$$ on a clean BLACK car.... And if your car looks like that I wouldn't change a damn thing!

Re: 91 Firebird GTA - Need Opinions

In most cases the hood bird just looks tacky on our cars. If your set on it though, sticking with the black and gold theme it may not look too bad. And to go along with your hood bird being it was big on the second gen cars, someone photo shopped the snowflake wheels on a third gen and they looked pretty good. You can get larger size or even custom at yearone.

I'd leave it alone. Gold wheels on a black car like that looks classy.
