That entire car = FAIL.
His attempt of a CETA bumper on his bumper looks like MF garbage.

The color is a gross between ZX 10 green and John Deere green, an absolute total failure, including the matched wheels. poor F-body lol

its very interesting. The bird would have to be much bigger..
And I also agree the tips on exhaust dont look good either...

But a few changes and it wont look too bad. I see how they were trying to be different.

I agree.
Accent colors are one thing.... painting your gas door a different color just doesn't do it for me.

the design of the firebird back bumper is different from the T/A, that's the body lines that he had to work with to do it. car's not exactly my flavor either way though

You ain't missing much. Sublime green Firebird with black headlight doors, black accents and black wheels.

EDIT: The car does look pretty clean and straight though. Someone put some time into it.
