I wouldn't do stripes... Ghost flames might look good. If it were me, I would just get a decent paint job, nothing fancy if this car is a daily driver. Accidents happen all the time, especially rocks flying at the car. Happened to me a few times. And maybe tint the windows.

I wouldn't bother getting a kick *** paint job on a daily driver V6.. or a daily driver V8 for that matter. I agree, just tint the windows, maybe lower it or get rims. Up to you, its your car.

Its really up to you dude. Doesn't matter what any of us think, it's your car..... Personally I think flames and stripes get used more often then they should. Do something original. When I paint mine I think I'm gonna go with a custom drawn Firebird, something new ya know? Here's one design I did, but not really great enough to paint.

the ultimate advice ¡¡¡¡

Here is my advice :
Follow it ....oh by the way it has a 91-2 Formula Nose ¡¡
Follow my advice :
Get a Ram air II Hood -----
Get a Set of Cool 17"s rims
Get a Set of T/A 91-2 Taillights
Thats it ...and if you want to
Repaint it to give it the Maximum shine ¡¡¡¡
No stripes please ....You will be happy if you follow my advice
I know ...it costs money ...but its an invest ¡¡
Time is Money ...so Save and Just Do It ¡¡¡
Best Of lucks ¡¡¡¡¡¡

Ouch ¡¡¡ Dont touch that Nose ¡¡¡¡

Its personal taste but the Nose you have is which i like ...
Im in Chile so i can found NO 91-92 Nose but im tryin to ¡
If you will swap nose for T/A -BASE nose ILL BUY YOU THE FORMULA ONE you have ...wanna know why that and not the another ???
cause the one you have has the complete Hole llike it was designed for and its all black...that gives the car a little meaness
and the T/A-BASE its like its covered or something is missing there ,,i dont know what you think ?
