first of all your car is awesome, i love your paint. I am not complaing but it is a tip, you should polish or chrome your slp runners.

Also one more question. Do you guys think that that hood and mabey that wing would look good on an 87 firebird formula?

Yeah the tires were clean till I drove it in that field to take the pics, here in Eastern Pa we are in an EXTREMELY bad drought, who'd think that the field is soaked and it hasnt rained for days


Hood and spoiler would look great on a formula I think, but I also think they outfit the T/A a 'lil better w/ the ground effects and all

I havent dropped it yet because of low hanging exhaust bottoming out, but since i got my KYB shocks/struts and stopped bottoming out, I am not considering dropping it.

would you believe some local guy is telling me I should raise the back end UP...

here is the formula i am talking about, mabye someone can photoshop on that hood?, i think the spoiler it got is good enough. And if someone does take the time to photoshop it, can you tint the windows too? I don't own this firebird yet, i am going to look at it this sunday, and he wants 5000 canadian for which i think is a good deal! it is modded and has a 95 interior and rebuilt motor etc.

I didnt make the Ram Air, its suncoasts Ram Air Box.. DO NOT buy it, the only reason it is on my car is because sun coast wouldnt take it back after the filter had been opened, it was $200, $250 with overnight shipping since they took so long to ship it all ready

Its to big and has to be cut in order for the MAF sensor to fit between it and the throttle body, about 1.5" has to be cut off, the filter/lid dont seat tight on the bottom of the box, therefore it is not sealed at all thus making it "ram air" in no way, its more of an open element then ram air, and since its not "made for" this hood it doesnt fit flush against the hood bottom anyway

so basically it looks like my ram air is functional, but really it is an open element filter behind my nostrils

two words....LOWERING SPRINGS! I mean, the car looks great, but it needs to be lowered. Redo the exhaust if you have to, but that car sits too high.

Here's mine with a set of Eibachs on it:

Thats what I thought, but I called suncoast and they told me $200, and $50 for overnight shipping, and that was 3 weeks after I ordered it.

I just figured it was $100 if you had their hood all ready, or bought it together, ya know?

oh well.

Thats weird I emailed them and they said it was a 100 bucks for it. Hmmm.

I was planning on getting one later this summer, but I wouldnt pay more than a 100 bucks for a piece of plastic and the filter. I'll let you know what they tell me. And the 50 dollars is outrageous.

mine is prowler orange, not sure of the mixture but I know its got a lil bit of gold pearl and a lil bit of green pearl, the green only shows up under certain flourescent lights at night.

I like that color on camaro almost as much as my car, looks just like it, does it change shades during the day, at night mine is almost like a carmel brown

Lowering springs from Eibach run anywhere from $200-250 and they are pretty easy to do. The rear is simple because all you have to do is disconnect the shocks and let the rear axle droop until the springs fall out, then replace them with the new ones. The front is a bit tricky, but still not that difficult. It's well worth it in my book.

The viper blue I put on my camaro changes color during the day.
At night it has a blue/purple cast to it under the street lights.
