New Here...let me know what you think Hey guys I've been hanging around here for a while but never really posted anything cuz i only have a little v6 right now lol. My dad wouldn't let me get an ls1 for my first car so I went with my firebird that I have done a lot of **** to. I finally convinced my dad to let me swap in a LS1 with some of my friends so this summer I'll be doing that. Here are some pics of my ride so far...Ws9 hood still needs paint coming very soon and rear hatch is getting tinted this week. What do u guys think

Why does it say Formula? 
Most people don't get cars that nice for their first, so I wouldn't complain too much! It looks nice, but with the Formula tail panel and the hood it probably confuses alot of people, especially when they hear it.

That car isn't really that bad, but I'm not a fan of making something it's not like a V6 Firebird to a Formula/TA or a V6 Mustang to a GT/Saleen. It looks like you've put some money into it, but I've never been a big fan of different color inlays/inserts on cars or that red neon in your hood.
Not meaing to bash you, but goodluck on your swap.

I agree with taking off the emblems or badges from the car. Thats actually pretty damn nice for a first car.
You probably could care less but Im gonna tell you anyways... My first car a v6 camaro w/ 6k miles and a 'salvage' title. I paid $5500 for it and was pretty content for a few months. I sold it for $8500 after putting 3k miles on it, was carless and bumming rides off friends for abut 3 months, and then paid cash for my 98' ss when I bought that for $13,500 w/ 23k miles on it. Now I also have an 01' s10 for my daily driver. My camaro is sort of like my project.. only thing is now I have no money to be working on her with.
Anyways, Thats a very nice car to start with. I'd feel fortunate to have that.

Thanks for the comments guys and yeah the hood is technically not a ws6 its the ws9 from usexotics so im not rly trying to make ppl think its a ws6 it's just what i like. As for the formula badges...I just put those on after having it blank for a while and im trying to decide which i like more but if i keep the formula writing there at least it will have a v8 in it soon enough to back it up

I think that is a great looking car dont change a thing(except the engine). Those wheels look real good on a Firebird, my friend has them on a black Camaro but your car looks better.

It's funny you say that.
I've heard a lot of people say that C5's look better on TA's and Z06's look better on Camaro's and I disagree. I just really don't care for C5's at all.
