In the picture of the red firebird from the back, it reminds me of a late 80's porsche with that spoiler and wide rear fenders. But that is definately the worst thing you can do to a firebird besides the evolutionize kit.

i think those quarters would look decent if they didn't mold into such a r!cer shape in the front.

they should blend in smoothly, exactly like the originals, but bulged, but not quite as much.

It looks alright, except for that one part on the quarter panels. You know what I'm talking about.

I kinda like em

Damn right they remind me of those Porsches from the 80s. I think the Camaro might lend its lines better to it. I dont' like the front of the quarters. Need to just cut off those tips and they would look hot. Oh every seen a racing VEGA!!!!????

I like the look too!
Gives it more of a race car look.
And it looks fast, without any decals!
