Are those 16x8's? They look pretty sweet.

 

I've been wondering this....why dont you just buy a 4th gen?

 

yup 16x8!

 

SWEET!!!...where did you get that hood and wing at and how much?Please let me know..Thank you

 

I'v been waiting for that question. Lots o' people have a 4th gen, Lots O' People have 3rd gen's, But no one has one like mine yet!

 

Hood and wing from GT Auto accessories, Link is on top of the page, it was a lil over a grand for both shipped to my door.

 

Wow...looks great!! Any plans to lower it? That would make it perfect in my book! My compliments to the chef!!!

 

Simply Beautiful man! I really like it!

u suck. posting a pic of yours in 7-11 when my 7-11 pic has the incredibly dirty windshield, and the missing hood screens. (some little f*cker stole them outta my hood. if I catch that little b*stard.....)

Oh yeah,I chose mobile (or any gas station) cause it was the only place lit up enough at night to take pics of it, but for some odd reason they do make for some Ok pictures.

 

Stunning! A huge improvement over the stock wheels.

May I be so humble as to suggest some 17" WS6 wheels next time around????

Looks awesome, sooo much better. Only thing I could even say is (again) get some 17" or bigger wheels on it and lower it a tad.

Sweet car though dude.

 

I might be the only one on this, but something makes me think clear marker lights would look better. The two oranges contrast against each other to me. Looks great though. Just lower it, don't worry about spending another large amount of money on new wheels and tires.

hey 86FyrBrd i was lookin at ur pics and like someone did with ur pics and droppin it sum, i think u should just drop the front maybe like an inch or 2 and then that would give the car a even more bada$$ look to it but besides that it looks great. keep up the work. later

Great ride man. You did a fantastic job on everything. You need a drop though, as the wheels look tiny. Maybe some Eibach springs? Sweet car man. Sweet car.

Ok heres the motherload of pictures from almost every angle I took today after I washed it, its so dirty in the last pics at the gas station that I'd be embarassed if it were day time shots.










The color is prowler orange, I want to drop the car, but I have to get my exhaust raised up a lil bit first, I scrape now. Lowering will have to wait till next spring atleast, I'v put enough into her this year.... I will have a web site up soon with b4 and after pics, but here is one for you

No, these are the ones you need, the Firehawk wheels:

 

the wheels look sweet but as said time and time again 17s would suit it a little better. I dont know what the hell that one guys was talking about with the before pic, something about a kinda ok/ ugly looking firebird. I dont know if he was high or something but that looked like a relateively mint condition silver trans am loaded with tpi. COrrect me if im wrong here but it dont look all that close to ugly to me is it? n e way the 4th gen theme is sweet but why did u choose orange rather than a 4th gen color? i mean it looks nice and i give u great respect for the car but jsut wondering as to what made u go orange? what is end up costing u? im getting my yellow trans am back from the body shop, thats a nice 2 grand adventure and thats a deal from a family friend! so i know how u feel, hell same deal last fall with my red 89. Paint jobs are expensive but man they make the worlsd of difference(obviouslylol) n e way im done rambleing..........sweet ride

Looks awesome.
your main problem with the lifted look is the 245/45/16 tires. I had that size on my 96 Camaro and it looked just like yours.
I have 255/50/16's on my 86 T/A which feels great and looks more aggressive.
