I got them from Summit I believe. They are Monza duel chrome tips. I'm not sure on the part number. I have similar rims to Teals, except mine are painted white.

Here's one of my rims before mounting:


The tires (Bridgestone Potenza RE730 245/50-16)

Welcome aboard. Mine looked alot like yours when I got it back in 89, but not anymore. Meet RAIF. He's not the most popular around here, but I love him, I like different & original.

Who me? Thanks! I hear it so rarely on these boards. Less $, more blood, sweat, and tears. Most of it is custom, done by me and my friends.

Thanks guys!!

I got the red because it matched the car and was very catchy for shows, but believe it or not I found the red is very soothing on my eyes. I have severe migraines. I can have the tint due to a medical release I recieved from the state. I'm a mess if I have to drive mom's car or the truck, but are tintless.

Coming out of the front end is a fang. It has been modified a bit since this pic, more pointy. Its still a work in progress. We are planning to eventually make a custom nose ourselves, so it looks less pieced together.

Here is the front shot:

Redraif, I noticed in one the the pics you posted, you have a stb that is 4 point?? Is that one thats for v8's, and it happens to fit our v6 , and is that hood a true functional ram air, and if so, how much power did you notice. At first I didnt like it, but the more I look, its kinda cool.

a 300+ pound football player and his big chevy truck... on a 2 lane road... i went 2 take a left turn and go behind him into a parking lot and he threw his truck into reverse and slammed into my passenger side door... that was November 9th... then a few weeks later my Uncle sold me his 90 Firebird for parts for $400 **no engine... tranny... leaking t-tops... no front end... no hood** So I used both doors **cuz they were manual and mine were power and my passenger motor was dead anywayz** and I'm going to switch out the interior plastics for my broken ones. I also used the power pull down motor as my plastic supports broke last week and my hatch wouldn't shut...

sounds fine, gets YOU more power, however, i go for QUALITY over power when i comes to my sound....

Take a 4 ohm dual voice coil sub and take that 150w X 2 @2 ohm AMP and wire that into that single sub. Now do that to the second sub. Now thats 600w and better quality, just a thought

Doing this alwows for an even more power output from your amp and instead of dividing that power .

Your taking that 150w X 2 @ 2 ohm and wiring that in parallel into that one sub. So instead of that amp providing that 100w to that sub, its now providing 300w, see where I am going ????

You should have keep those dual voice coil subs, when you only paid for the single ones!

This is the car as it looks right now. I have a set of 1985 16" TA wheels that I am polishing out and will put on there within the next three weeks or so. That is the original color, I just painted the inside of the wheels and added the hood.
