before and after

when i bought it

now

i guess you could say it looked better before.
i havent bothered waxing it or painting the rear bumper or side skirts cuz the whole car needs painted. the headlights have chipped paint cuz they kept hitting the hood. it'll be painted soon though..a different color cuz i'm tired of the green.

only new things are
rear bumper
hatch
wings west side skirts
autozone tips
hood stripes
t-top conversion by me

It looks good. Love the t-tops but the stripes could go. Just my opinion.

Could of already bought a ls1 t/a a different color for the money you put in this..

I like the before better cause I just like the v6/formula style better.

i havent put much money into it. traded a 99 mustang 3.8 5-speed for this. both were selling for only 4,000 so i did an even trade.

rear bumper = $50
hatch = 100
t-top conversion stuff = 150
tips = 40
painted stripes = free

i cant afford a t/a unless i was making payments.

thinking about selling this firebird though and buying another early model 99-04 mustang 3.8 5-speed to make a Roush clone out of.
