Re: For Sale: 1988 Firebird Formula in Utah

Re: repro dash pad - "OER" brand from Hawks

Add another vote for stock! As good as it looks in pics, it's even more striking in person. It's been years since I've seen a yellow-gold formula; definitely miss it.

Re: Aftermarket GTA look-alikes...

I guess I should clarify; I am thinking of wheels that are currently being produced. It's crazy that there are soooooooo many variations of 5-point wheels out there but almost nothing like the lace.
