Re: Post your firebird pics
Thanks man! It's off the car now... I switched to a little 3" tin bucket which was pretty cool because it would smack speed bumps and other stuff but it ended up getting stolen while I was at work... Oh and I really like the paint scheme on your car by the way.
Thanks man! You should sand them down and paint them or hit them with some POR 15... metal louvers are really hard to find and fetch some decent money!
Thanks!
Nice cars kitt_me, GICATA, and midias... always nice to see the early third gens represented
And makS10, your engine bay looks great and so does the rest of the car!
Everyone's cars look so awesome... the clean cars look so sleek and beautiful and the "diamonds in the rough" have a certain sinister, post apocalyptic look to them. I still don't think there's such a thing as an ugly third gen Firebird haha.
BigbadGTA, what kind of camera do you use? Your pictures always come out crystal clear and the color's amazing... and your GTA's insanely clean too.

your car is so gorgeous it hurts!
Have you done something to the lenses in the parkinglights? They seem more "red" than the original orange.

Re: Post your firebird pics
I was unaware of that.. that's unfortunate. It's definitely unique in a good way.
Maks, really hard to see your door panels because the photo is so dark. The other pictures look amazing. The scenery around there is beautiful. I'll have to come visit you one day.
Update from my wheel shop...my wheels should ship to me by mid June. Keeping my fingers crossed. Still undecided on what tires but i've been thinking the Nitto Invo's.
Here are the wheels.

Re: Post your firebird pics
The KDW-2's I can get for around the same price as the Invo's. Those were another option. I've never seen the Invo's in person, but have seen PLENTY of people running KDW2's.
Karl, they are XXR 526's. Brand new wheel for this year, some people have pre-ordered them and have been waiting 6 months. I've only been waiting 8weeks. Inexpensive wheel, but I don't drive the car much so they should last me till the day I have the cash to lay down on some custom forged wheels. Going mostly for looks so the weight of them is of no concern to me. Nice 91!! I would love a 91-92 Formula.

Re: Post your firebird pics
The fronts in 18s have two offsets. 25et and 35et. With some upgraded brakes that set the mounting surface out further you wouldn't need any spacer. Stock brakes you would need a very very small one so I went with the 35et and 1.25" spacer for the front. Rears with 20et at 10.5" wide will fit without a spacer but I'm really hoping they don't stick out too far. According to <<86ta>> they will be flush with the outside of the fender lip.

Hey bro nice ride! I just had a quick question. Is your paint the metallic gun metal paint job? Or is it a type of primer? I was considering doing the same thing to my 88.
