looks good to me
but as for suggestions as to what else to do to it, if that were my car, i'd get rid of the formula hatch and replace it with a standard T/A hatch
i've always thought the lower-profile formula hatch looks out of place on the firebirds
it's kinda like a fine-*** woman with a nice, round, perfect ***, but a 12-year old boy's chest.
or the other way around.....a fine-*** woman with a killer chest but an *** that's as flat as a piece of plywood....
anyway, that's just my opinion, and i'm sure many others will chime in and disagree with me, so take it for what it's worth

hmmm not really sure yet. Definitely chrome or polished, and definitely not ZR1's lol. Not bashin the people who have em, i think they look great, just way too common. TT2's are also very common but if I cant find nething different then I can settle for them. Id like to keep the price at about a thousand prob.

I disagree. On my last car that I had re-painted my painter immediately wet sanded the car when he was done then applied several coats of wax. He said that a freshly painted car without wax + bird poop = . It did not seem to hurt my paint, I could have taken my 240 to shows although I sold it shortly after getting it out of paint!
On another note, very nice Formy!

"By waxing a new paint finish you are trapping the solvents that have not yet evaporated. Trapping the solvents can lead to blistering, refered to as "Solvent Popping" Although a paint finish may dry to the touch in a short time, the paint does not reach its complete hardness until all solvents have escaped. For the first polishing, I recommend using a polish that does not contain wax or silicones. These products are referred to in the industry as "Body Shop Safe". 3M Imperial Hand Glaze is good product for this but requires a lot of elbow grease. It hides all swirls, rags marks, etc, but will not trap solvents. "
Uh Oh lol. I actually may have some time friday after work. Maybe ill leave school early and wash that **** off the car lol Im sure it will be ok for 2 more days. IT LOOKS SO PRETTY THOUGH
