Default Much better

I removed the LOTB emblem at lunch time today but, didn't get a chance to take a pic. It looks much better in my opinion. I'll tried to post a new pic soon.

Still the LSx ones should be put in the back part of the ground effects. Then it will balance out the Firehawk logo in the front, IMO.

I'm going to use some offensive language here, but it looks RICERISH. Too many badges.

Honestly, these cars look bad *** in stock form. Adding more badges or stickers RARE improves the image. The best thing you could do is switch out the badges, like get a different style badge but of the same thing.

You have a VERY nice and VERY rare car, keep it looking nice and clean! Change those badges!

I'm quessing your probably right and I even thought about putting them on the rear of the rocker molding but, I didn't. And I'm sure its going to be a pita to remove and retape them. I would like to try it though. Thanks for your input bro! Love your car and wish I could buy some wheels like yours.

Thanks for the nice comments but, I'm not quite sure what you mean about different style badge?

I vote to put the LOTB badges somewhere on the car. It's a badge that only technically fit the 2002 Firebirds. I would also invest in some better floor mats. Rubber floormats look like they belong in a truck, not a Firehawk. Otherwise the car looks great.

Default Your right!

Thats funny! I knew someone would catch that. I bought those on ebay a couple of months ago. The rubber mats have the word Firehawk on them in red and the tread pattern matches my tires. I though that was kinda of cool. I just wanted them to use while driving and getting in and out of the car. To be completely honest , like a bone head I went off and forgot my carpeted Firehawk floormats at home and didn't even realize it until I was cleaning the car up a bit before the show. So anyway, I do agree with you on that one. Thanks!

Original post...........Geez.......O-VER-DONE................too much on there man. Doesn't look good at all. IMO.

Removing LOTB..........little better. I think the "LSX" just doesn't belong on the car. Its too big and flashy. Plus, you don;t have an LSX in the car. I look at that emblem and I think of an LSX iron block.

Personally i like the lsx badges in general, but not where you have them. I have a camaro but I think they look best on the back. I have it on the driver side and the onyx with a red bowtie and z on the passenger side. I was worried bout it looking like too much but I think my car pulls it off.. My opinion tho.

I don't think the OP's intent was to try and advertise he has an lsx block. IMHO, I think his intent was not "hey look at me, I have an lsx block" but rather "I have a built/semi-built ls motor, why still call it ls(insert variable here)"
Not to stray too far from the OP's post...
Kinda like my story. I don't have an lsx block....yet... but I love the whole lsx thing. It is just a placeholder for the engine series' family. Take my stripes for example; they got a lot of positive feedback, and it was a "new", never before seen stripe that I had custom made.

Obviously Sir you are entitled to your opinion, and I appreciate that, I am merely stating that I don't think his intent was to say that he has an lsx block, but rather that he has an ls series engine. That was my intent, and I love the whole "lsx" theme I have IMHO.

I bought them from a guy here in Kansas City that sells hotrod parts out of his basement. I had to modify them to fit my car. I'll see if I can dig up some contact info for you. I would think that any hotrod shop in your area would have them or could get them for you.

Probably won't make Dallas this year. I do plan on attending the POCI's 40th Annual Convention ~ St. Charles, Illinois July 17-21, 2012.
