...i havent forgotten about those pics. I just wasnt able to get under the car last weekend to change the oil and take the pics.

Local embroidery shop. Best part, $15 for both. I almost didn't believe the women who did the work when I went to pick them up. She said it took over 2hrs to digitize the art work and to apply the logo. Guess some people just don't value their time.

Re: Fall 2011 picture thread

Mikes92firebird, I love seeing pics of a 3rd gen beside a 4th gen. The 4th gens are awesome cars, but the more I see them side by side, the more I always think to myself how much more class and beauty the 3rd gens have. I absolutely love the back end of a 3rd gen TA over the 4th gens. Just can't get over how great looking of a car the 3rd gen TA's are, and it's a style that has definately grown on me hardcore since I've owned mine.

Thank you very much! When my friend offered the idea of a photoshoot I loved the idea of being the only 3rd gen with two fourth gens. I gotta agree, the rear on our cars is too sexy! I like how 3rd gens look more squared as compared to 4th gens being overly curvy. Either way, both great looking cars, and you can still see how some body lines are shared in the pictures.

Gorgeous cars! What brand of ZR1 wheels are on the blue car? Did you use spacers? I love the polished lip. Did you use lowering springs and if so, what brand?

Re: Fall 2011 picture thread

I have an 84 Pontiac Trans Am Recaro I just had painted . Its black but when the sun hits it , it changes color . Green Gold and Red , Ill take pictures in the spring of it . It was a daily driver up untill I got it painted so it's kind of rough besides the paint/body work , but still worth taking a look at

Thanks. Not sure which brand they are I bought them used, and have no markings on them. Yes they have spacers 1.5 all the way around since I have c4 HD brakes in the front. No lowering springs just a set of stiffer z28 springs with a half of coil cut.

Do the C4 brakes change how large of spacer you would need to run? I'd assume you are running 275/40/17 tires too. Thanks again!
