Default Any nice looking Firebirds?

I don't know if any of you guys are like me, but I can never get over how the front end of those cars look. The T/A and Camaros look mean, even stock, but I have yet seen a Firebird that looks good. Anyone got pics of some nice ones? I looked through the sticky thread at the top but didn't really see any that looked good IMO.

Since when do Camaros look mean if it's not an SS? Firebirds aren't meant to look mean, especially if it's a V6. The Formulas are pretty much sleepers as well. I DO however like the front and rear bumper and hatch on a trans am. I would def. change mine, get them painted, with a new sweet hood.

You talking about the 93-97 Formulas? I think they can look really good with simple things, a nice set of 17s, maybe a slight drop and a nice hood, they can look plenty mean. Its amazing what some 17s, a nice drop and a nice hood will do for these cars. You can turn a plain jain car in to a real nice head turner with out much. These cars were designed to look good so I mean it doesnt take much.

Now I dont feel so bad, but mines not a ws6, I would like to get a ws6 hood though. I think my formula looks sleek and more low profile compared to the TA because of the unraised spoiler. Dont get me wrong, I love them TA's. I havent decided which spoiler I like better. Sleek and simple (firebird) or tall and badass (trans-am).

How can you not like the look of an LT1 Formula?? Personally, I think they look bad @ss but to each his own I guess.

if i could post pics id show my silver WS6 formula right now. i dont have any front shots though. in all honesty i only really like the LT1 cars if they have SS hoods or WS6 hoods respectively. unltra Z hoods look pretty good too. the factory flat hoods just dont do it for me.

when i was looking for a car i knew wat i wanted. i wanted a 93 to 97 trans am or formula. 93 to 97 because they cost cheaper than most ls1s and i like how they looks. the problem wiht the formula i couldnt find a nice one for a good price most of them i looked at had over 100 k miles which i didnt want or where beat up. i was gonna buy a formula ws6 that i found and i did some research and if not mistaking i heard there are only 500 of them made in 97. so i went to the dealer and looked at it and turned out to be the biggest piece of $hit and i think it was jsut a normal formula wiht a ws6 hood. i still sometimes wish i could of find a nice formula ws6 or a nice formula but im not complaining i love my trans am
