BOTTLEDZ8, now that I know you're in the NECF area, goto www.necamaro-firebird.org and look me up. There you'll see where I'm going to be and you can check out my hood work first hand.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
You gotta love the New England weather and its affect on any car that's more than 2 years old. Both of my cars were a bit rough on the underside by the time I got them. Unfortunately, both have gone to the great junkyard in the sky by now due to various reasons.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
I took them off along with the spoiler, I think it looks much better this way, It was just to much white and now mine doesn't look like the 1499 other 15th anniversary T/A's, I still have all the parts to put it back.

Racing ARE's and a trailer hitch.
Is your driver's side recaro seat power?
How does your louvers attach and where did you get those headlight covers?

I agree there is nothing wrong with a personal touch or any mods that makes your day. my 1983 Daytona 500 looks better with American

The louvers I had to modify so they would fit with the 85 wing, The hatch is very heavy with the louvers and wing, The headlight covers I bought back in 84 before I even had the car. I don't think the are available anymore.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Another MassMan here. I'm moving up and over to Pepperell, (represent 1A Tony!), and after looking at these last few pages, I'z gotz some comments.
KITT1983, why does your '83 look so much like an '84? Like, everything about it screams '84 to me. I don't closely follow the submodels, (Daytona, Anniv, etc.) so maybe I'm just ignorant, but I'm surprised to see the similarities.
shota15, your car is frigg'n gorgeous. Breath-taking in fact. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you just rolled it out of the showroom. If I had that thing, I'd sleep in it. Kudos.
And to both of you guys, love the Recaro seats. Those are great. I saw a pair in an '83 in a junkyard down on the cape last summer, but spent all my cash on other things. When I went back about a month or so later, they had CRUSHED all F-Bodies older than '87. I checked every VIN. It's ok though because I still love my PMDs.
Rduffy123, I grew up in Marion, MA. Nice to see the tri-town representing on here. Did you go to ORR or Old Colony? What year did you graduate, (if you're not still in school)? Class of '96 here.
Well, enough outta me, here's my '82 T/A...

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
New Bedford... Now I'm craving a linguica pizza again!! (Cafe Roma)
Dot Rat moved to Carver (Old Colony '79) now in Leominster.
Tried the snow thing the first year with GoodYear M&S 150 mph snow tires...waste of money. Bought a Delta 88 for winters.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Keep the TBI, (even though most will beg you to drop it), and get a Renegade. http://www.crossfireinjection.net/DCS%20News.html
The TBI showed tons of hidden potential with the old X-Rams and this takes it even further.

Re: Anyone in Massachusetts?
Near Springfield MA here...
Yep, daily driver for 22 winters. Put four studded snow tires on it, and weights in the rear trunk well, and it actually will get good traction. I passed some front wheel drive cars that were stuck last winter. Yeah!
The 4 studded tires are the key. Without them, forget it. No chance.
