no, its like the firebird equivalent to mystic teal, but i dont think they're exactly the same. the trans am color is
a chameleon color i believe, and i think it has more color variations in different light than mystic teal. i forget
the name though...

not much has changed on the outside

To Do:
20% Tint
Clear Corners
Wider Wheels (thinking 18" CCW Classics with black centers - long way off)
CETA mod
HID Headlights and Foglights

Bought in January 2, 2009 (in South Carolina)





As it sits now:

!4x4 and New wheels is it as far as appearance

Both of these mods were done on January 3, 2009 (in Ohio) - so I haven't done any appearance mods since the day I bought the car basically - Had to much money go into everything else lol.
