Do you still have the original Firehawk wheels? (Wanna sell'em?)
Did you pick the paint color when it was repainted?
yes it is, although when it was painted all the conversion stickers were removed, and the stock wheels didnt come with the car unfortunately other wise she would sell the black ones and run the chrome, car looks killer with chrome wheels on it. and the car came as is for the most part a few engine goodies have been changed/ added and some serious underhood changes are comin over the winter

But yea ive seen your car too you might have seen me it was on golf going under the 294 bridge, i had open headers so it was hard to miss me. I was headed up to the track lol. Its definetly a different color which i guess is why i like it!

At night, it even looks almost white...its not lime green, but honestly that is what a lot of people call it because it really has no name to it. I haven't even thought of a true name for the color, but thats the least of my worries now!! And I probably saw you. I work almost right by Golf and 294 so I'm sure I have seen you. I have seen a few a couple times around this area, just seeing whats out there =) Yeah, my car is pretty loud, but I have an exhaust waiting to put on, but the car might be going away soon so who knows if I will get driving time with the new exhaust I bought for it =\ but as it isn't hard to miss me.... ::laughs::

ok MY ? is why'd you repaint it, and what was the color before? If you repainted it just for it to be custom....thats ok i suppose, but if it was a SOM.... well you need to be shot! lol jk jk who cares what color it is anyways.....Hawks are the sexiest cars alive. If money was no factor I'd still buy a Hawk or absolutely anything!

I've seen another firehawk around the area, near Maine West. I am pretty near Wolf and Golf intersection.

I didn't paint the car...the guy I bought it from had painted it, but it gave me ever more reason to buy it b/c its different. The color before was black.

Oh--I want in on this meeting up =) Been telling my b/f about Matt and he's all for it and I def want to watch the fun =)
