Default Fresh out of storage.... and the day after.

Took the TA out of storage last week while i was on spring break. stopped by the local closed down pontiac dealership for some pics.

uncovered and out of the car jacket on the lift









YES it is a CETA, YES i repainted it. The stripes are going on next time i go home. now to the day after at 6:26 am. I at a stop light and a honda civic decides to go as soon as he sees the green. this is before i see it. he proceeds to "look down" and not see me and insert his car into the back of myne.
first one shows cracked paint in the corners from flex on impact, second if you look closely you'll see some white lines going horizontally going all the way up to the indented Pontiac logo, third is where the main impact was where paint chipped off (old color underneath)




yeah in reality its not that bad but at 630 in the morning before i had my coffee and being the first real drive of the year and after putting in all the time i have in it for the redo, it supremely aggrivated me.

+1 I think it looks damn good without the stripes, beautiful T/A.

Poor Pontiac dealership

And I would whoop some *** if that had happened to my car, sorry to hear that.

I think the hood stripes are needed, but maybe not the stripes for the doors. I love the firebird license plate decal not being completely black!
