I'm now officially a poser.. but I love the look.
[Before Pictures Here (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=899149)].
After a couple months of delay of getting some new pics of the bird after it's new paint job, they're finally here. The cars dirty, the rims are dirty, and my paint looks like crap (can't tell much in the pics). So try to bear with me.
Before anyone comments on the alignment issues, I know about them. The headlight covers need to be aligned, the hood sticks up past the front bumper, the hatch is slightly off, etc etc etc..
I will eventually get around to fixing all these things. The car is not absolutely finished off yet, it's just about 3/4 done. I still need to do the finishing touches.
The hood wasn't my first choice, but I settled for it, mainly because of the price. I originally wanted the WS.6 style hood, but I got this hood at a steal of $350. I figure I'll hold onto it for now. The fog lights weren't my first choice as well, but they were free. I got them from the guy I bought the front bumper from, and they're all I have for now. I would rather have something there than gaping holes.
To finish off and proceed with the pictures. I just want to say please don't hesitate to give any constructive criticism. I know not everyone will like that I cloned a Trans Am, whilst I only have a 3.4L under the hood. But it's what I wanted to do. It's my car.. scratch that.. it's my baby, and I want her to look good. If you don't like it, that's fine.. If you do like it, then thank you, I've worked very hard getting this car to look how I want it to.

I think it looks good. I have no problem with modifying a firebird to look cooler. I would have a problem with moding a collectible model. My 79 had a 301, no spoiler, the red taillights, 1 chrome mirror and steel wheels w/hubcaps. Now it is different. Maybe I will post it.

That is sexual... Makes me miss the ol' Firebird... :(
Of course there is a dead sexy black 97 Trans Am just down the road from me for sale... Mmm... :)
It looks really good though man. Are you gonna lower it a tad to fill the wheel gap?

Nope, going to be getting some new rims eventually that should fix that. Might be some time though as I am flat broke.

Yep, that's the plan. Going to some years before I can get to that though. Figure I'll just try to buy a wrecked LS1 car, that way I'll have everything I'll need to do the swap. I believe I may also need the interior harness from it too since I have OBD 1.5 right now. Not sure how that's all going to pan out.
Thanks for the compliments fellas!
