Well honestly, I dont know how its bringing home trophies. What shows are you goin to? And if it runs low 12s NA, awesome. Thats what I'm shooting for. But if the car is that gawdy, low 12s aint gonna make up for it. the hood bird, the banner, that "system", how low it is, all poor tastes. Looks like another very nice, rare car that has been ruined. sorry

I beg to differ. He has a very valid comment. A lot of the thigns you did to the car you would find on an import. Not a rare firehawk.

That sticker looks absolutely herendous. The suspension setup belongs on a lowrider. The interior paint does not flow with anything. Your exhaust tips look like they belong in underground utilities of an apartment complex. And for crying out loud, a freakin TV in the trunk of the car? What purpose could that possibly serve?

you guys are just digging now. I already said the bird will be gone soon. the suspension is just a set of sportline springs that im sure a hell of a bunch of other f-bodys on this forum are running. thats all. there interior paint (what little there is) is silver and matched every other silver , chrome , or polished piece on the car. the TV (only) stays in for shows are we have alot of fun with it there. this is the first time in 7 years i have ever heard anything but good about my exhaust tips. and i really dont give a **** what you think about it.
