Ugly 3rd gen on route 80 in Jersey!!!

Ok I don't have a picture of this car but elt me describe it to you. Friday night going to the movies in Wayne, NJ on route 80 I seen the UGLIEST 3rd gen in the world. The car was white looked maybe like a 89 or a 90. I really couldn't tell. It had the Turbo Z body kit (thank *** I never got that it is friggen ugly), a really weird looking cowl hood (never seen it before, kind of looked like he had his runers comming through the hood), a sport back window (i thought it was the nicest part of the car), and there was no sound to it. The was all white, white everywhere. It also looked like the back portion of the kit was going to fall off the car. Well needless to say a 3000 GT SL pulled along side him and handed him his *** big time. When the 3rd gan passed me it was disgusting. Has anyone seen this car before? If so someone help him in doing something wtih his car.

Sounds ugly. Your signature picture is a little big. Everytime you post, the whole thread get expanded and won't fit on my laptop screen. You are the only person that causes this Could you shrink it a bit?

Yep it works now. That is a verry cool looking camaro you got there. I love those ground effects and the rear side moldings. Where did you get that wing? That is a sweet wing, kind of like the T/A wrap around wing but not. And the color is awesome. Nice looking car. Not a big fan of the bras but I think I'm going to have to put one on my car as well due to highway rocks.

The groundfx aren't that nice in the front--without the bra it looks older(or so I've been told). I also drive on gravel once in a while. The rear spoiler is from JCWhitney around 6 years ago. It's urethane. I can't remember what brand it was though and I haven't seen it since. I do remember is was around 550 for the effects and 130 for the spoiler. Thanks for the compliments. Do you have any underhood pics?. I'd like to see that engine.

I saw first saw that car six years ago- it was originally black with a custom yellow interior. I stopped and talked to the guy at a gas station. all the body work was custom, he had the tubes fiberglassed over the daytona hood , he had a motion targa hatch with a custom wing that emerged horizontally from the rear window, and of course the wide body.. I`m sure it`s the same car and I did notice it changed to white. I`ve seen it around morristown, on 287 and on 80 over the years. It is a bit over done. I thought mine was over done till I saw his, I had an 87 formula with the twin turbo hood and the motion targa hatch with a callaway twpe wing , and 91 t/a tail lights.

Man I've got you beat. Last week I saw a white Firebird with a fake Xtreme badge made out of electrical tape. It had a black spoiler with two of those JCWhitney/Knightrider lights mounted on top. The wheels were "bow-legged". A huge antenna hanging from the roof with a little alien head on it. Chrome fender flares too.

Neighboir

My neighbor has the ugliest firebird
Ive ever seen!

The red is so faded it looks pinkish white, hes got a set of cragars on the front that are all potteed and rusty, and then tthe old SLOT wheels like people used to put on chevelles and stuff in the 70's on the back.. the front tires are smaller, the back tires are huuge..... then the engine
is the 4 cylinder, and he has no exhaust so its loud, and it barely starts and runs like helll, he has to keep giving it the gas to keep it running, and it blows black smoke out all the way up the street.....

the interior is even worse!!! he has spare tires sitting in the back seat, and mcdonalds bags everywhere, and ciggarrette ashes allover..
plus one of his headlights is broke from an accident, and the fender is smashed in, and that headlight sticks up (winks at ya)

Those Formulas are about my favourite 3rd gen Firebirds!

Did you see the black one they had in GM HITech Performance about six months ago? Man, it was gorgeous

Gee whiz, I posted this picture a couple of weeks ago and I got jumped like a two-dollar hooker on payday, and then the thread got locked to prevent the forthcoming flames I was certain to receive.

Oh well, I guess nobody was in the mood to discuss ugly cars at that time.

Yep thats the guy. I normally don't knock peoples taste when it comes to cars, to each his own, but that car just took the car. Way over done. I could see if he didn't go to wide on the back with the circle taillights, and the fiberglass runners, come on. The coolest part of his car was the Rear Window, I love that look. DO you know if they still sell those windows. I know GTA auto accessories sells a notch back window but I really don't take to well to the side fiberglass otherwise it looks great.

Flames on a thirdgen, don't see that too often... Not too bad of a car but the flames are a bit overstated, leave them on the 32 duece coupes I think. Ghost flames on the other hand...

that camaro doesn't look to bad. I have seen worse but with is with the blue green stripe on the bottom? I can't talk to much my ground effects change color so does my cowl hood. For my next car, either a 68 camaro or a 73 vette i am going to do either electron blue with silver ghost flames or black with chrome illusion flames

Motion performance sells that particular notch back --they call it a targa hatch. It is the same as I had on my car and saved me about 60#`s(the original reason I got it) . they want 700 for it new , there # is 1800-866-3172 . i believe that it is the best looking hatch on the market and the weight savings is a very nice bonus. One just sold on E-bay last month (W/ a high rise Z28 wing ) for 500.
I `ll probably get one on my next Formula.
