Hey guys this is what I found earlier and it's the the best look I think. A couple of months ago I found this car on a website and it tells you step by step how to do it with pics and everything… I think I'm gonna go with it.http://www.cardomain.com/ride/191601...tiac-firebird/http://ww.cardomain.com/ride/191601/1987-pontiac-firebird/
