Re: Post your firebird pics
I claybared, waxed, and put fresh gas into my GTA. Been a long time since I have taken it out of the garage, since probably July. I really miss driving this car. Pic is from tonight! People were staring at the car hardcore at the gas station

While we are at it, Polly's TA needs another bump. Probably the fastest street legal thirdgen in existence right now.

Re: Post your firebird pics
IROC rims are good looking in general, and do look decent on a bird....I just hate the fact that they are camaro wheels, and most people who know cars will notice that. I'd prefer GTA wheels if going with a stock style wheel, but thats just my preference. And The Project, thats by far my all time favorite color combo on a TA! Nice car.

Re: Post your firebird pics
I've always loved the interior on the birds 100 times more than camaros. I like the outside look of each in thier own ways, but I def prefer a bird....but I am a bit biased. And good luck with the sale on your bird, the project!

Re: Post your firebird pics
That's kind of a random statement. I don't see any cars on here with bras on them.

Re: Post your firebird pics
Every car with a bra that I've seen had some sort of front end damage, or a really rough bumper. Thats why I hate bra's. I don't know why you'd want to cover up such an attractive front end on a car! If anything, I'd go with the clear adhesive style bra instead of the clunky looking vinyl ones. Guys, would you rather look at a women with a bra on, or off? Thats how I like my cars too!! LOL.

Re: Post your firebird pics
whitedevil: i respect your opinion and yes mine covers up the rough bumper it has now but i would have to say mine looks pretty decent. it was custom made back in the 80's just to fit my car and i feel it does a really good job unstead of making the cars front fascia look mummified

Re: Post your firebird pics
It's funny how one comment can totally change the direction of a thread! I was wondering if the mention of the word bra would eventually lead to *****. I guess it's just a natural progression for us guys. For those of us that live in Florida, we use bras to protect the nose of our cars from Love Bugs. I'm not sure if any other states have the Love Bug problem like we do. Anyways,
And Happy Thanksgiving to all!
