Default Finally joined the F-body club... 2002 SOM Firehawk 6 Speed

I have been looking for a nice low mileage 2002 SOM Firehawk or WS6 6 speed for a very long time and I just haven't found the right vehicle till this past weekend. I am a frequent reader here on LS1 tech and always visit the vehicle classified section and came across my new car here on LS1 tech. The car ended up being only 2 hours south of me and I finally have it.

Car is a 2002 SOM Firehawk 6 speed and has 36k miles on her. Build # 797. I haven't taken any professional pictures of it yet so i'll just use the pictures I got from the sellers ad. Without further adoo...

















This is the pic I took with my cell phone after I took it for a test drive

Is this something common that a tail is dark? I had one of the bulbs on the most outboard burnt out. I replaced all the bulbs in the whole tail except for the reverse light and it is not near as bright as the passenger side. There is also a little condensation in the drivers side reverse white light, is that common either? It looks like I need a new tail light because you are right that it is dark. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I just got confirmation today that my new custom plate order went through and I got my 1st choice. In Wyoming you can only do 4 letters/numbers or mixed. Since it was only 4 characters I tried for "Hawk" and noone had it yet in Wyoming so I'll have that for my custom plate. I am entering it in my first car show this weekend in Cheyenne, WY on Sunday for the "Rib Fest" weekend.

yeah its a common problem , its bs of a bad seal around the bulb so the light darkens , nothing can be done once its dark , you could get another dark one or another good one . Wanna sell the spoiler , 6le was trying to get that made . Do you know how many had that spolier in 2002 . What a great combo you have with that car

som , firehawk, 6 speed , 02 , rare spolier , low miles

I have to agree with you about the combo, I especially love the camel interior too. I however am keeping my spoiler. I really like it too. That is usually one of the first comments I get is wow, that spoiler is awesome or something along those lines. Thanks for all the information on the tail lights. I looked at some new ones on ebay and they seem pretty pricey. Maybe I can find another dark one for cheap, we will see.
