I feel like christmas is coming, bought a ton of new parts for my bird Any of you guys get like this? I'm excited, this is my 3rd firebird but only the first time that I bought NEW parts for it instead of digging through the classifieds and craigslist to find the cheapest things I would "settle" for. I saved and saved and sold crap I didn't need to get here though.
So far what I have coming is:
- OE Wheels 17x9/17x11 ZR1 Silver with machined lip and NT555's mounted
- Set of Koni 4/3 and Strano springs
- Strano 35/22 Sway set
- UMI subframe connectors
- UMI roto-jont LCA's and PHB
- Trufiber WS9 hood
- LM1 catback
- MGW shifter
I can't wait to get all this stuff. Gonna take me a whole weekend just to install it all. I have a little money left over that I might be getting a small cam and some 243 heads with to complete the package. Heres a pic of it as it sits now, I'll update it with new pics once I get all the stuff in. Sadly my LT's and TD's have to go, both for lowering and because I have smog coming up and I have to go to the stricter test only station.

Heres my other goodies that came today 
And I made some progress on the suspension parts today, got the rear konis and strano springs in, and the rear strano sway bar. Very nice quality pieces, I'm happy I decided to buy new instead of cheaping out this time.

Well, the door overlays were a failure. I could not figure out how to get them to stick to save my life. I cleaned with alcohol like it said and it stuck like wax paper. I know it was sticky because it stuck to my finger and itself lol, just not the paint. So I ruined those

i have that same badge on the rear bumper of my car. its white though. word to the wise on the hood. make sure it doesn't rub your lid, if it does then it will rub the paint off the hood and scuff the lid. i had no problems w/ my door oevrlays.

I hope so. My only beef with my suspension now is it feels like the front and back are disconnected, so to speak. The front goes one way and the back goes another. Hopefully the SFC's will fix it. I have to find a shop to weld them in though.
