So I bought this car July 2017 as pictured with some flames on her (lol) got it for 9000 Canadian.

Ended up lowering it, putting on some C5-Z06 wheels, getting hood painted, headers and a tune

Over the winter I installed 4 OEM C6 Z06 wheels with Michelin Pilot rubber, changed ram air stickers to red, did some red caliper paint, did Hawks 5th gen conversion shifter. Cant wait to get this thing out this year

Were the flames air brushed? They actually looked good.

VERY NICE! Now you need to paint your garage so it looks at least half as nice as your Bird!

Awesome car. I never had a Firebird but I see from your pics the interior doesn't look as dated as it would seem for a 2002.
