Hello everyone, I have a 1990 Pontiac Firebird. I am looking to do some customizing to the car. I am currently using VHT Niteshade to tint the rear lenses. I tinted the windows. What I really want to know is color of the car. What color does everyone think would look best?? And what type of wheels would look good?? Open to any and all ideas. Thanks(:

 

i have a 92 firebird base and my color is teal with the gold rims....i used VHT to tint my lights and colorwise....go with something that you like and that flows...and wheels? um i would check out black rims because that is what looks good with a smokin' paint job

 

I was thinking maybe of doing a complete blackout of the car. Black Paint, Lens, Rims everything black. Or a completely different look with keeping it red and doing black racing stripes. As for the rims what I mean is like what style?? (example: Deep dish drag rims, 5 spoke street rims etc..)

 

bullet holes actually look pretty good on these cars, if you were to do a total blackout with the black bulletholes and a set or whitel letter tires it would look awesom

 

i was looking at cragar for my rims 5 spokes, look so mean you could scare people XDD

 

Lol that's what I want people to think. I want them to see me coming and run and hide XD

 

Also how did your VHT Niteshade turn out?? I've never done it before and looking for any tips.

 

i wet sanded my lights with 2000 grit sandpaper and then wiped them clean with a wet towel...waited til they dried and put 3 small coats on and then 3 coats of clear gloss enamel hah its easy and they look good...just put some tape over your back up lights....dont wanna backup into anything

 

Very nice! Thanks for the tips!

 

Thanks! and No Problem

 

What kind of cragars were you thinking?

 

I was looking at Cragar Black V-5 wheels

 

Oh, because I have black Soft 8's on my T/A and I like them, they're similar to the v5's.

 

I was also looking at the Soft Black 8's How much did those run yu??

 

those were what im looking at too hah

 

Pretty much right at $400 shipped to my door for 2x 17x8 wheels, 2x 17x9 wheels, all 4 center caps, and 20 new lugnuts. Here's a pic:

 

Nice! Also can I ask yu how much and where yu got those rear window louvers??

 

Actually, they were on the car when I bought it.

 

I see. Some guy offered me his for 350 new in the box but he lost the install kit when yu can buy them brand new for 250 and yu get the install kit lol.

 

paint the middle..PLEASE! lol

i did on mine and it makes it look 200% better

 

ummmm i did lol

 

So I just got my new rims on my car. They look great! got the soft black like yours bradley. Adding pics later in the day. And new paint in a month or two!

 

Btw bradley who did yu buy from?? It cost me 250 for all 4 of my rims and center caps shipped to my door. The 20 bucks at tire barn for 20 new lug nuts. So all together it only cost me $270.00

 

Good choice on wheels! I guess I'm not as original as I used to be, but thats cool with me lol.

I bought mine from Summit, what size wheels did you get? I got the biggest ones that would fit a third gen.

 

I got mine from summit as well, but I only got 15's so thats probably the price difference right there. i love the rims though haha

 

Here is my car with the rims on it. And as you can see in this pic I also got my headlights to go up and down again haha

 

Those wheels look pretty good! Time to start savin' up for some paint though.

 

Haha thanks(: And yeah my dad is painting it for me in April or May for my graduation present.

 

So was messin around on my computer and was lookin at what a complete black out of the car would look like and here are a few pics I made of my car. Not the best but gets the idea across. Lemme know what yu think.

 

Where did you get your louvres?
