Favorite Firebird 2004

I can't let Mark get away with just having a Camaro thread and no Firebird thread. So go ahead and post your pics of FIREBIRDS ONLY. Use the other thread for Camaros. Keep it 1 picture only, preferrably your best one...starting with me...

15x7 with P275/60R15 Tires on them. They came with the car but I took them off and they are just sitting on the ground now.

300hpse: Nice 84! Love the original Spectra Red/Black paint! That was how my '82 was originally painted.

Here's my little story- bought the car for 600 bucks, from a friend of mines neighbor who had caught a guardrail on some black ice... he had been told the frame was bent, i bought it as a parts car. car had low mileage, only 80k, and had all the original paper work!!! so after some investigating, i found that it only had a bent spindle, and decided to put all my good stuff in this car!

Needless to say, 1000bucks later including the car, i had a car to start modding!!! i ended up replacing the nose, some of the headlight basket parts that were cracked somehow, and the fender of course. spindle was free from a donar car heheh.


Here's the LF fender banged up...


As you can see, the rest of the car was in excellent shape no rust, minimal paint chips and so on...



what makes it so EVIL now....



Heating up the tires



Yellow light..... yellow light, yellow light, yellow light, GREEN LIGHT!

Dang, I doubt my car can compete with any of these firebirds but I will submit it anyways. This is before I lowered the car about 1 inch with Eibach Pro kit springs. It looks just like zimmstoy's car as far as ride height goes now.

A lot of nice birds on here.

Wish I had a more recent pic, this one is old (paint was peeling everywhere, especially the front bumper...hence the bra)
