Yeah I wanna upgrade the shocks too when I get more cash saved up. The rears have bilstiens already. There is no way I can fork $1k for Koni's. Little by little though, it will get there

Got bored today and painted (VHT) the reverse lights.

BEFORE:


AFTER:


Pics are a little blurry, but in person they look good. I put a coat of clear gloss too so It will shine up a bit.

Still want to put red or chrome "PONTIAC" inserts, a WS6 emblem and maybe a "Hurst" or "5.7" emblem on the other side. Then the *** end will look a little better

Now I still want to do the other side and clear the hood latch cable. After that, fill in the holes and give it a fresh coat of black

UPDATED 2/18/13

I added the flat black Black Bird stripes on the hood, got a WS6 emblem, and added some HID's to the fog lights, removed all side moldings








My brother and I with our twin cars lol.



So the next thing I'm thinking about it putting on the Last Of The Breed emblems on the side fenders. What do you guys think about it? Also want to get all LED lights for the outside/inside, as well as the LMC headlights and HID's for those.

Wheels would deff set it all off. U should think about some black deep dish with a chrome lip that would look bad ***. I put all chrome c6 zo6 wheels on my sunset ws6 but they had them with the black and chrome lip. i liked them but felt i did not have the right color car to pull it off..

I actually wonder what everyone things about that too, is putting a "last of the breed" emblem on the side of a non2002 car ok? I mean technically the 98-02 4th gen TAs are the last of the Firebirds
