Thanks for the compliments. I am a die hard Firebird fan. I used to have 8 TransAms....but I've started to sell some and put the money into fixing up the ones that I really want.

There are some good writeups on polishing....or you could just send them to Josh. Personally I'm going to send some of my stuff to Josh....I've done plenty of polishing and it is hard, tedeous work . Josh earns every penny he charges .

wow sounds like a good idea on the whistler mod. Wonder how that would look. Thinking about buying another pair to try it. I want to keep the originals original.
