Just looks like he painted a "slingshot" underneath the nostrils and put in the BPP headlight kit. Doesn't look too special to me.

Except for the filler plate and the ugly black "slingshot" under the nostrils... Just my opinion.

Honestly those headlights are hideous.... but I'm glad to know this was a bullshit car, it's clean for the most part, but it's sad someone will prolly buy that thinking is a super rare ws6

I might get those headlights and custom fab them a little bit to make them look right. I'm already sick of the problems with my pop ups.

I'll keep that in mind. The only thing that stops me is the $ price on those headlights.

And yes... $1100. I think it would be cheaper to have a shop make a custom set if they're up to it.

It's a dealer specialty car. It might be worth something. I know they're not on the same level, but the yenko and copo cars are worth more. This is is kind of along the same line. It has paperwork to back it up too it looks like.

Default slingshot firebird

such an irritant-- it was a stock firebird-that the dealer changed the hood on and peddled it to this guy and hes been holding it like his virginity.. must be the big thing in his life-- its a plain jane ls1 --NOT A GM BUILD---wasted 3 minutes of my life to research it---hope he quits selling it as something special
