On my 02 camaro w/ LS1 swap, I dont having any emblems on the car. It even has the color matched top to help disguise it. I kinda like the sleeper approach, the only thing that really gives it away is the true duals, but they arent real noticeable unless your paying attention.

Sorry, wrong word use I guess, if the car isn't a Fomula model, don't call it one. IMO it would require the RPO for that.

WS9 - MODEL CONVERSION, FORMULA.

^ i here you but unless its something special like a 30th edition or a firehawk than i dont see anything wrong with it, if you have the same parts that would have come on it. nothing really that special about a formula or trans am. just my opinion.

I did the same over a year and a half ago.. I just call it a Firebird.. If I'm trying to get race together then it's a V6 car, because technically it is.. just with a V8 motor.. haha

just leave it as a firebird and leave the single exit muffler on the back get you a cutout and suprise the living **** out of unexpected v-6 haters. The ultimate sleeper people will give you hell thinking it's only got six slugs struggling to get going and when you hit that cutout and blow off their doors they will think twice befor they ever pick on another bird. I wish I still had the pics of my buddies big block fox coupe with that single 4cyl pipe out the back.

Better yet keep the firebird emblems on the car then underneath them put

TYPE LS1 or SPEC LS1, or you could put evolution as it evolved from a v6 bird to a v8 bird. Ok im done with the cheesy ricer suggestions.

or no badges.

How about "money pit"?


I say maybe throw some LS1 badges on it, and leave it at that.
