Just wonderin.....

I replaced the firebird hood with a TTA one, I put most of the Ground effects except the nose which I will look for this weekend.

And next week I'm gonna paint car, was wondering if I put TA bandges on it, would that be lame? since I am putting a 350 in it to replace my 305...

I am a big guy on there actually being a difference between a base firebird, and a trans am. I am not militant about it or anything, but people really need to step up and realize that their car is not what they say it is just because of a few stickers. On top of this the idea of trans am is getting really popular, showing up a lot in pop music and retro clothing.

I'd say just go with a cool firebird emblem. Maybe get a 4th gen FIREBIRD, how it is writtenagressive.

You ask yourself this..

Do think type r stickers look stupid on stock CRX's?

....I think they look dumb anyway lol



Anyways I'd say go for it, but just remember that your title and VIN says its a firebird....I heard you can get into some trouble if you try and sell it as something it actually isnt.....hell after the mods Ive done for my car it's the equivalent of an 86 iroc but it'll always be my sc

You know what? I will keep it, I was planing on putting the emblems after I do the swap anyway, but now that I think of it....

It's my litte bird, my first car. To be honest I wanted a vette as a first car, but I was afraid of wrecking it, and paying tons of insurance, so I had to go with my 2nd favorite car which always been a bird, I won't disrespect her like that!
