I wonder how the OP feels about his bird after all this bashing. OP what are your plans for the bird now? You going to redo the paint job or keep it like that or are you selling it?

I like it. Must be fun to park next to really nice cars and watch them freak out. How did it affect your gas mileage considering the increased drag?

I want to like it but I just can't.

On a side note I love listening to people bitch about how you ruined this V6 F-body. Jesus Christ are 4th gen V6s the new ******* '69 Camaro? Pretty pathetic.

Oh yeah, and the guy who busted out the Asian crap can go sit naked on a spiked pole. Gotta love internet toughguy hillbillies.

cant wait to see someone cover there entire firebird in aluminum foil. Maybe the herculiner kid might try it. Dont worry your not the only one thats been bashed on here. Ive been bashed on here badly for admitting taking my Camaro to 150mph once in a blue moon. Its easy to act tough online.

I dig it. I would love to not worry about scratches and crap, and from a bit away it looks like a satin black! Props.

I do think it needs more 4x4 to be complete though.

Like I said before doesn't really matter what people say or think about it, hate it or love it, I plan on keeping it. I did the same thing to my Mustang without any thought to selling it, but when I was randomly offered cash for the Mustang I sold it. I like the Herculiner thus did it on the firebird. I was specifically in search of a Bird knowing what I was going to do to it so didn't really care about the exterior condition when I bought it as long as it ran strong. I came across this Y87 package for $1800 and so plan on keeping it til it blows up.

Don't know what stock gas mileage is since I had it one day before covering it. Haven't gone through enough gas to really know but it's probably minimal. Some of the racist's fatass wives would create more drag =)

Are you f'in joking me??? How exactly do you humiliate a firebird? Even if it's a figure of speech, it's still a ridiculous thing to say.

It's a damn car, simple as that.

When you add that much weight you have to add some power too. Yeah it was local. No one has seen the car in over a year.
