Updated pics

Here are some updated pics of the ol' girl. I finally got around to taking the pinstripe, side moldings, and all the other random firebird stickers off of it. Next on the list is cleaning up the engine bay.

And these are the plans i have in store for her in the near future, i didnt want to just throw this out there, but ive already seen others with black chrome. I wanted to be the first though. My buddy did the photoshop, hes pretty good.

I got my wheels/tires combo from a local place in miami called, WTW (world of tires and wheels). They were 1500 bucks mounted and balanced, theyre sumitomo htrz 2's on 18x9.5/10.5" zo6 replicas in chrome. But prior to buying them i was looking on ebay and they were actually cheaper(1200) but they were polished alluminum.

Thanks man, i personaly love this color, the fact that it only has 18K miles helps too, but im also on top of it constantly. Good luck shinin' her up! MRM FTW!

I bought it online at ramairhood.com. It was 1200 painted, with the ram air decals, the vents, and the lower airbox to make it functional. The color match is very good, and it lines up pretty good, but there was a run in between the nostrils on the very front, and the clearcoat on the pass. side wasnt that great, and it recently started bubbling up and peeling :cuss:, so now I have to take it off and repaint it. You know what they say, if you want something done right, you gotta do it youreself. So if i had to do it all over again, id probably get a factory one and get it painted, or find another better aftermarket one.

I actually bought a factory GM one that was already blank brand new to keep my original one intact. But theres a way to sand down and wax youre current one to look like that. Its in here somewhere.

And thanks to everyone else for their kind words, i really appreciate it. :drivin:
