This is what my headrests will have on them: I have a red Firehawk with yellow lettering and a charcoal interior.

Same here! Never done much to the appearance, but everything else pretty much has been. Forged bottom end to 12-bolt w/4.56's and 6-speed to rossler th-350 w/4500 converter. 6-speed is back in the car as well as the a/c and power steering. Alot more pleasurable to drive now, I've lowered the car and put the sway bars and such back on. Cool to see other Firehawks modded to crap too lol. Dad bought the car new. When it had just over 1K miles on it, it was shipped to texas to get h/c and clutch put in... Didn't get to stay stock for long.

There is a guy around my neck of the woods that used to be a runner or something for the dealer I worked at that has a Firehawk. Its a 93-97 model with a 6spd. I didnt know much about the Firehawks or I would have checked if its ledgit. It had the dual slp exhaust and decals that I know about. A kid I worked with did an LOF on it. The car is just beat to no end. Had tons of miles on it. Paint pealing, Interior probably hadnt been cleaned in 5yrs. Bald tires, dents. Its just a shame, especially if its a real Firehawk. It was black on black(or dark grey). The exhaust had been cut off for some reason betweeen the cat back and y-pipe but the catback was just hanging there. I heard that the car was gona be up for sale. Not shure what he would have wanted for it, but it would have needed a lot to make it nice. If I find that car again im gona see if its for sale. I stopped working there and have only seen it once since and it was sideways coming out of another dealer in traffic (moron). Sorry for my rant but what would you pay for it? Oh It had the right wheels also

Default Headrest covers

Just got mine back today and they look great, very happy with the work and how quickly they were done. Just need a little time now to get them installed.

Thanks Grant,
