Did you replace the housings for your turn signals? Those things look almost brand new and very clear (which I need, mine are getting foggy). Also what did you have to do to get the fogs to fit? I've been looking into something like those and hear they take some modding.

Where'd you get the mesh kit or did you make it yourself?

Sorry for all the questions, but I've been posting a lot about changing my car around and that's the EXACT direction I was looking to go with it...

The polished SS inserts really makes a NBM or Black T/A beautiful IMO.......wish I could locate a set of nostril inserts for a Firehawk.

Very nice

E85 is popular here since it is cheaper than gasoline. I converted my car myself and the gain was maybe 5% more hp.

BTW, GM stopped selling the Firebird in Europe 1995 so i hade to import it myself.

All the stainless stuff still looks good.

relax your swedish panties, I, #1, was complimenting the look of your car, #2, was saying you should post up some new pics of your ride, which is nice, instead of bringing back an old thread.

looks excellent, Especially the molded body kit. I can say I don't think I've ever seen any other w-type kit that looks as good as yours.

So where did you get that honey comb mesh from? Please share.
