Pictures of my bird Let me know what it needs and loose

[cgroh89]

Hey guys Here are some pics of my bird


Thinking about doing the ceta panel Removing the tint and getting a extra hatch and toy with shaving it to see what it would look like on my car. On some I have said it looks nice on others I think it looked gay


Other mods coming this winter c5 brake upgrade(or ls1 not sure yet)

Black rims , More than likely zr1's since my second choice is not sold in our size

And it will be getting a t top conversion if I can swing it

[jsteele90]

i like it as is i love the lt1 style t/a

[fortmyerspolice]

NO T-TOPS, seriously, that car is sick as hardtop

[nhra-trans-am]

Looks great. Once you get some wheels on it will look even better.

Take that sticker off your tail lights, then after brake upgrade stop messing with it. Looks sweet like it is.

are you missing your ram air grills? it looks like the one on the drivers side is missing? if so you can get a new pair here for $50 shipped (much cheaper than the dealership)

I havent had the grilles since I bought the car one of the little things I need but arnt #1 priority


I think at the bbq at my place was the first time you saw my car. That was after it sat in the shop for 3 months and all I did was dust rag it , Now its got a coat of sealant and wax on it





Different Thought. When I get the grilles for the hood getting the black bird stripes for it as well?>

I like your car, reminds me of my 93 hard top.

I was going to buy the older style one, I like the front end and if you put a molded front spoiler on it even looks cooler, kinda of a Nascar hugging front. My only reason for 01 was the engine.

Thanks!

I dont think I have ever seen or heard of this any more info on it?

[99problemz]

you could do a lil armor all on the tires next time but other than that i think it looks perfect.

Remove the tint if you want.

No CETA.... it looks TERRIBLE on any color car.

Don't shave the hatch. T/A spoiler is one of the best looking spoilers EVER made. The only thing that looks worse than a Firebird hatch is a shaved T/A hatch. Looks like a Ford Probe.

[1995blacktattop]

you could get jim to do a t-top conversion for you, lol. i had to get T-tops on mine. the thing i gave up was the WS6 package since it was about $4k more for a comperable 96 with the same or even more miles, so i decided that i'd get the ram air on my own later, and i knew i wanted black rims at some point so i would have spent more to get rims i would have ended up selling anyway. I did a waxjob on my car a few weeks ago and now its in the garage for the winter. i'm beginning to get sick of nw indiana again because of that. its so freaking boring here from november to march

as for shaving the hatch......ewwww.

want to see what it will look like????? a Ford anal Probe

^^^ 1995 beat me to the post but... here's pics of the shaved t/a hatch. IT SUCKS BTW!!!!





As previously stated.... It also looks like a Ford Probe!!!!!!!!!!!

[DTB_LS1]

Nice pics Chris, car looks awsome, where did you take them? BTW my 17x11s and 315s are still for sale if your intrested.

[cgroh89]

Trust me guys I know what it looks like without one , Been over it many times in my head , That is why I am going to get a extra hatch so it is no irreversible




Thats the pic that made me want to do it

Hey Darren ,

I took them at that new St marys extension just south of Kroger on23, I geuss I tripped a alarm since I ended up with two different ppl who worked there flying into the parking lot and bitching You get your car put away? We are getting mine ready to go on the trailer for one last run at Byron tomorrow before I put it away Finally think I got the bugs worked up between rpms and tires since all it used to do is sit there an roast them

[DTB_LS1]

I don't have the car put away just yet. I've been busy as hell, I actually just picked it up from Speed Inc. last Wed. They installed my Mcleod RST and Tick Performance Adj. M/C. Hopefully I'll get it put away by next weekend. Good luck tomarrow at Byron, what E.T.s are you shooting for?

[cgroh89]

Not to sure yet I sure would like to get it into the low 13's this time I have my sumitomos in back instead of the fusions I have them at 18 pounds I went out to some country roads last night I practice launched about 10 times Just been getting to know how to race in a t56 car is all.

I just need my 60 foot time to get down I swear at anything more than 35% throttle is just sits and spins but it feels better with my other tires on it Last time I went I couldnt cut more than a 2.8 60 foot and that was putting me in the low 14's So tires would rly help next season lol

Been wondering if I should unbolt my sway bar I see alot of ppl doing that

[LS1 Melly]

wow! That is so shinny!!!!!

Keep the TA Hatch, the shaved look makes it look like a Sunfire, and causes the car to lose it's aggressive looks. I think I'd start by getting some new wheels, the stock 16's look ok but a set of 17 or 18 inch wheels will really make the car look even better. As much as I do like the CETA mod and I think you can make it work with the metallic green if you did it in the typical flat black, though I'd kind of say don't do it since everyone & their grandma does does the CETA mod. Also if you have the stock exhaust tips or the basic aftermarket exhaust system tips, get some polished tips of some sort, polished tips makes the rear look 10 tgimes better. I'd also leave the tint on, I think if you removed the tint that you'd regret it once you did. Then finally maybe finish the car off with some nice overlay & ram air decals. Just my 2 cents, and it doesn't really matter what everyone else thinks as long as you like how the car looks, and you have a nice LT1 to start with.
