What is new in this picture?



Again... no performance enhancement just something I've been wanting to change for a while now.

The top is next and is on the way. Hopefully before the meet (If I can afford that trip).

An EA game to whoever can guess it straight away.

I think I beat Terrell by 1 minute.
He had the different color bird before.
They all say PONTIAC, unless you have a GTA, it's just the bird.

The bird in my center piece is actually removable, but I haven't found a suitable replacement.
I don't care for the orange-ish one that's there now.
Planning to do blackouts eventually anyways.
The base styles, like Mike's, are etched in.

We have a winner.

Steve, I told you the new top is on the way. The current one is pretty bad, huh?

So it's no the mudflaps? What's up with those? Ever take that thing off road? J/K By the way, I like the mod! Your new top will add class to the ride as well. Very clean!

Of course. How forgetful of me.

I had a set ordered and on delivery from ThirdGen USA but then changed my mind. I'm really waiting on a pair of '91/'92 tail lights but those are rare and expensive. Maybe I'll get lucky though. In the meantime, I'm OK with the current lights. Afterall, it's not a T/A... it's just a Bird.

Air conditioning doesn't work too well with the top down.

Please tell me you are not kidding! I'll pay a good bit for 'em (don't tell him that though). Ask him how much.

I'm seriously interested.

Sweet deal. I'm not holding my breathe or anything but hoping for another cool opportunity via TGO.

Not really, i had em for the longest (car came from mississippi) and didn't even realize I had it till my friend started to make fun of me. I took it off and noticed how much cleaner it looked (not that my car looks clean to begin with but u know what I mean). Up to you

I get flack for them for sure.

Dad always had them on his cars. Damn him.

The burnt rubber on burnouts is easier to clean off when they are there. ~shrug~

I happen to dig the burnt rubber quarter panels on my IROC, but your car has always been tastefully modded Caddy and looks great flaps or not.

My S-10 has mudflaps
