Pics of My Firebird

i did the the t-top conversion by myself a few weeks ago.
the dual tips are new.
the rear needs to be painted but i'm probably gonna re-paint the whole car a different color.

Wings West front lip and rear lip
after its painted.. install dual vinyl or painted stripes..on the hatch/wing too

T-top conversion looks good... The stripes make the hood scoops look wavy, but it's probably just the angle of the pics..

I like the tips too.. I'd say get a license plate bird emblem also..

nice job on the conversion, also if i was going to repaint the car a diff color i would chose something that made people look twice or there jaws drop, to most people red is red and they will think its just factory, also any plans for a motor swap
