Wings West spoiler? Looks nice.

I'd add in some grille into your bumper. While it's nice to show off an intercooler, it just seems really lacking w/o a grille in it.

Not a fan of non-flip ups on Firebirds, but yours fit fairly well.

everything looks nice, but i would not have cut so much out of the front bumper, although it is quite intimidating.

This is just another opinon. I do like the wheels. And the red lettering, I had that on mine for awhile, looks good, I went to silver. I'm neutral on the wing, think the stock one is aggressive enough. And the front is just too aggressive looking, kind of 'in your face' stuff. But that's just me, and you asked.

The front looks like its teeth were knocked out by a bully. I would never do the headlight mod myself 'cause I think the flip up lights are part of what makes a firebird a firebird. But they're not horrible looking. The exhaust needs some shiny, shiny tips. The wheels look better than most I've seen, but I think they'd look even cooler in matte black. The wing looks good.

I don't think he cut that, I believe it's a purchasable bumper. I think it's meant to resemble the 421SD concept.

Thanks everybody for your opinions. All of you who did not like the non flip up headlights. Im with you, i got rid of them over a year ago. Horrible quality and just not enough light at night to drive. Thanks again everybody.

I don't care for the large cutouts in the front bumper, however the innercooler makes up for any shortcomings I can find in the bumper. Have you dynoed the car? If so what are your mods/numbers.

At 8lbs of boost the car made 620hp and 585tq. That was with the STS kit and a 402 forged.

The sole purpose of the openings was for the intercooler. I no longer have the STS kit so im bout to sport a new custom/stock bumper.
