Default Few new shots of the Firebird

I had the urge to get a few new shots since I just got it back on the road again from a spun rod bearing. Hope you like

Looks very good. I just had one question. How did you install your wings west spoiler? I am about to install mine but it looks to me that it just installs with double sided tape? Isn't it going to fall off at high speeds? Thanks

I also like seeing pix of your ride motivates me to get the wings west kit for the formy.. but i already got the T/A/ high rise hatch so i wont be needing the spoiler. I also herd if you call wings west they still have it in stock... But im looking to buy some TTll' before the kits.. and after the wheels is some AFR 205 cc.. so ya it will be a while but i love your car!!!!!!!!!!!
