Default Pics of my new baby

I just picked up this 02 WS6 last night. I bought it from a retired Master Chief who is shipping to Kuwait for a government position. As you can see by the pics, he took very good care of the car. It was garaged the entire time he owned it. The exterior is immaculate and the interior is in very good shape as well. It has 32k miles and it is nearly stock with the exception of a K&N FIPK, Baer drilled/slotted rotors and 30% window tint. Anyway, it wont be long til the heads/cam/full exhaust come...just like my past LS1 cars. I got into a GTO for a while, but the f body is just what I belong in. Anyway, here are some pics. Since this is my first Firebird (all my other LS1 cars were Camaros) give me some suggestions on appearance mods. These things already look twice as mean as the Camaros. Anyway, enjoy

Damn that looks mean as hell. Welcome to the world of owning T/A's :nod"
I'd suggest maybe a charcoal gray metallic CETA mod.

So I threw a set of heads and cam in there along with a Yank SS3600, just to make my first auto LS1 experience memorable. Well, even with the tune, the low gas mileage got old really fast. Then I got into an 05 GTO for a short period. Alast, I just missed my f bodies, and being that Ive never owned a bird, well, I guess I picked the best model and the best color

So hows the car running? Remember when we both bought the anthracite TTMs at the same time with the same paint color? Im assuming your still running those??

How ya been brutha? I got lucky on this find. A couple days later, and the owner was gonna ship it back to Texas to store it until he returned from Kuwait. I guess I called just in time. Anyway, Ive had this license plate for a while now. This is the 3rd car its been on. So hows the moddin coming with the new bird?

Yeah the pewter ss. Last I saw you still had it but I guess that was 2006 ....didnt realize that much time had passed So you went through 3 cars in 1.5 yrs? My car is doing great. My b/f and I installed a cam last fall and I love it . Also got a WS9 hood and have done quite a few interior mods. Yes I remember that we were getting the TTM's at the same time and yes I still have them

That's the beauty of a Black WS6, they don't need any appearance mods because they are mean-looking from the factory!!

The only thing I would do to yours is: lower it, get tips, and tint the windshield lightly.

Looks awesome!!
