Pics of My Firebird

i did the the t-top conversion by myself a few weeks ago.
the dual tips are new.
the rear needs to be painted but i'm probably gonna re-paint the whole car a different color.

its got Wings West side skirts. i gotta take em back off and put better double-sided tape on it though.

the rear bumper and hatch are just spray painted until i buy the new paint. and yeah i painted over the side markers. i'm gonna shave those off anyway probably.

my plans..
take the skirts off and install them better. none of my double sided tape stuck
paint it a different color..maybe cherry red
Wings West front lip and rear lip
after its painted.. install dual vinyl or painted stripes..on the hatch/wing too

not wanting any new rims for it right now. cant afford it anyway. and no engine mods.

T-top conversion looks good... The stripes make the hood scoops look wavy, but it's probably just the angle of the pics..

I like the tips too.. I'd say get a license plate bird emblem also..

nice job on the conversion, also if i was going to repaint the car a diff color i would chose something that made people look twice or there jaws drop, to most people red is red and they will think its just factory, also any plans for a motor swap
