Default LT1 Guy :-x

My name's zack and I've got a 1997 Firebird Formula, LT1 w/ A4, Candy Mandarin Orange over Driftwood gold basecoat, dynomax 'catback' (nothing more than muffler/tailpipes/tips), K&N filter, stereo and a tweaked rear axle. It's a 97 with a 4-series rear? normal or not? i dont know, but I'm looking for a new one. Here's a pic of my car.

Thanks guys (gals?). No, its not the factory color. The original color can be seen on my cardomain, it was a putrid, faded, cracked up red color, it was ugly and beat up, and now it shows, the rearend is shot.
