Default Thought id post some pics

After my 4x4 mod and before i go for paint in a couple weeks.
Bilsteins with eibach prokit

New rotors and my painted calipers


My stereo system finished,
Sub box that i built

Amp rack, yes the trunk is dirty, i still need to put in my ttop holders.

Pioneer Avic-N2 screen open

Screen closed, HUmount, tshifter and shift boot.

Headrests by grant


Should be getting it repainted here after the June 6th meet in Irvine, CA, and i am going to have the body shop get everything straight on my front end conversion. I also have plans to replace the cloth door panels with the same color as my shift boot. Oh i am also going to be ordering new black C6 rims with machined lip so thats why the zr1's have been neglected, bought them used for 300 bucks so im not too concerned with them

lol i think you need more than a porter cable... you need a bad *** high speed buffer... buff and polish the **** out of it and then it'll be shiny as hell!

That is going to look great with those wheels once you get it painted. I hope you are leaving the blackbird stripe on it.

I'm diggin' the red 'Trans AM' above the CD player. That's the second one of those I've seen lately, and I really like them.

Im actually still debating on which stripes, im either going to do something like this, or it might be solid stripes instead of checkered

or like this, but silver with black pinstripes/black ram air decals.

I vote NO on the checkered stripes!!! I have never cared for them on the 35th LE SS cars, and I think there are MUCH better options for a T/A. I know I will probably anger some people, but for some reason the checkered flag looks like some cheesey hotwheels thing...I dunno.

LOL Never thought of them that way

You just might be one of the select few that feel this way though.

Clean that thing! Checkered stripes look lame on Firebirds IMO....get the top of each scoop painted, like the checkered ones, except no checkers, just get them solid
