FYI, ya might wanna check out the fenders tabs under the front fenders behind the wheels. It looks like the car was lifted incorrectly at one time or another & they bent the tabs out.

Welcome to the club, when I bought my car over the internet (eBay too!), I was nervous like a **** until I actually saw it in person and looked it over, the car was real clean other than needing a new battery and some tire repairs from nails. Good Luck.

I was looking at a black Firehawk before I got my red one. I despise the color purple, and when I found out the flame in "Firehawk" was purple, I was immediately directed to another color.

But it looks good & good luck with it!

More incorrect information, ..., Please , If you don't know the whole truth then don't spread rumors.

The OP purchased a 2001 car which would have had the original equipment GM/Trans Am airlid.
(Which is actually shown in the photo in the first post, ...)
