Very interesting car.

Overall I think it looks pretty badass. I love the front mount through the bumper and the entire black theme you have going.

I would only change a few things including removing the black vinyl women from the rear center panel, replacing or painting the rusty rear rotors, and give that thing a good buff/polish.

I bet it runs real nice too...no engine shots?

I like it, It may look like it needs cleaned up but keep in mind that it is atleast 11 years old. I have seen 02 cars that have paint in much worse condition. I also think the sunlight was working against you. Maybe mid day? Either way I like it. Nice pics.

13 years old, over 147 thousand miles of weathering and garaged kept as best as possible. it's been buffed and polished usually 2times a year. for a firehawk that is actually driven and not a garage queen it looks freaking awesome! thank you for your constructive criticisms though

Looks good! I agree with BlackbirdWS6's additions though.

This is my old car, it had 165k on it in this pic and was daily driven in all weather. The paint can look as good as the time that's put into it:

Looks good! I don't look to into the pics like some folks, only thing that drew my attention was the dull tires since the car and wheels were glossy.
