Default Great looking 4th gen LT1 Formulas or V6 Firebirds?

Hi,

What are you favorite great looking 4th gen LT1 Formulas and Firebirds? Specially something not stock. I don't mean some funky body kit. But maybe some interesting paint job or wrap, interesting color combo or even livery. If the body kit is tasteful or only subdued ground effects, it's fine too. But something special, outside of just the stock look.

I'm looking for inspiration. So if you know of a great looking one, please post a picture. But only 1993-1997 and only Fomulas or Firebirds. No Trans Ams please. Thanks!

For example, IMO one of the best looking Firebirds is the Hurst Lingenfelter.

That is IMO not only the best looking Firebird but the best looking 4th gen F-body.

Has anybody topped it? It doesn't need to be an official car. It can also be an one of or individual custom.

Thanks for posting the pictures. Yes the Firehawk is up there with the best looking Firebirds. Although I still prefer the Hurst.

The red one I also already knew. It has that body kit, which the name of the vendor I can't remember right now. But it was a pretty common body kit back in the day. I just don't think it is as slick and classy as the W68 used in the Hurst. But it is still a good looking bird.

Like I said I think it will be hard to beat the Hurst. I googled for hours and couldn't find anything that looked better. But it's hard to find random pictures. So maybe somebody will show up with something.

Not much love around here for the streamlined birds I see.

I don't think there are many LT1 Formulas and most people that drive V6 birds are not into performance or mods. They just drive their V6 cars, note I did not say all.

I can appreciate what you are doing and wish you luck with your ride! ;-)

If I remember correctly it's got the trans am rear bumper, side skirts, and a wings west front spoiler.
