Default Another delay

So there was another delay to get my car back from the shop, plus its still waiting to goto the mechanic shop to get checked out aswell. I called to follow up on my car because they said it was suppose to go into paint yesterday, just to find out that they are having trouble finding a new trans am bumper. It doesnt really bug me, i just miss driving my car, the way it sounds, and feels. Im totally bummed when i have to drive the rental car, atleast I have something to drive in the meantime. So I thinking and I was planning on removing the door sills, and trans am badging, and getting the firebird bumper later on down the road. So you think I can ask the body shop to order it, or no?

Ive always liked this look on the firebird...

wow... normally I'd say no, but having a white TA myself, and looking at that top one, that looks slick!

wonder what kind of wheels those are?

mines due for some body work and paint... I might just strip all the Black stuff off of mine (stripes/wheels) and go for that look...

I know Im very contemplative on it, because I love how the TA bumper looks, but the firebird bumper flows with the ta skirt, spoiler, and rear bumper rather nice. Oh and those are CCW Classics.
