If anyone has any info about how to get a WS9 outlaw hood plz let me know!! im dying to get one...

Also... im trying to find out how to order a T/A hatch for my car.. please help if you know!! thanks

Please rate my car!!!

Here are a few of my better pics that I have so far... These pics were taken the night of a sweet car meet that happens once a month right off of 123 and 95. The First pic is my firebird with my best friend Stephen's STI, the second pic is with my bird, his STI, Dan's TC, and Stan's GLI. The third pic is with a sweet viper that we raced on the way to the car show. Sad to say i didnt get beat by that much... he must not know how to drive... I will have may more pics and a list of mods and different car meets that we go to...

Here are the mods, repairs and little things that Ive done to the car so far...

- The first repair that I had to do was replacing my slave cylinder that went out 3 days after i got my car from a dealership down in Miami Florida... They gipped me hardcore, but o well. My friends, Chris, Mark, Jon, and I dropped my tranny and replaced the slave cyliner in my driveway... that was an experience ill never want to re live again. Took us 3 days to do the whole thing cause it was pouring rain 2 of the days...
- Replaced camshaft positioning sensor
- Replaced my PCM.. couldnt start my car for the longest time... so annoying!
- Replaced my passenger side window motor.. GM window motors are terrible
- Replaced my thermostat. I really should have just replaced it with a 160 thermostat but i didnt for some reason... I just wasnt thinking.
- I sent the bird to midas for an oil change and guess what?? I got it back with a hole in my radiator and a drive belt that was loose! I dont know how they did either of em but Im never sending my car to midas ever again. So I took it to a dealership and it cost me a nice grand for the repairs...
- Custom cat back exhaust, 3 inch piping with 4 inch slash cut tips. I will have pics of it soon. The work was done by my good friend Chris who works at a shop off route 1 in woodbridge, VA. He does some sweet custom exhaust.
- Eibach sportline springs. The drop was about 1.8 to 2 inches. Made the car look so sick. Chris did the installation for this and found out that my front struts were rusted so much that they had to be replaced... so the whole spring installation and parts were 800 dollars!
- B&M short shifter with an SLP knob. Made a BIG improvement to my shifting and overall feel of driving the car.
- Volant cold air intake. I dont see very many LS1s with this intake but it works very well and looks sweet too. I will have pics of the Intake up soon.
- Sony head unit. The unit is red and matches my dash and other interior red lights perfectly. Im tryin to get some new subs and speakers and get it all amped by Christmas.
11/30/05
- Got 4 new Nitto tires... finally! Ive been using legally bald tires for like 2 months... which means I havent been able to launch for 2 months... i forgot what it feels like, lol.

Here are a couple of pics of my intake. They are night shots so they may not be too clear. The Camaro is.. or was my friend Jon's 91 Camaro. He had to trade it for something else cause it was just developing more and more problems... very sad to see it go, alot of fun trips with it...

Hey man..dont listen to those guys.. if we just buy a car that we dont know about of course were going to have questions.. Go to vfn fiberglass.com Your going to find your WS9 hood there brother.. plus other type of WS6 Ram Air hoods.. I have a Firebird GT With the Wings West W-Type ground effects,its the 5 set piece. L/R ground rocker ground effects, front lip, rear dual exhaust design lip, and the wing..The wing you just bolt it to your stock wing. Since the wings are pretty small on the firebirds, it makes them look higher.Go to kgs engineering.com for the 5 piece set..And i have the raptor hood..Its supercharged, stage 2 com jet module, headers, full blown dual exhaust, and intake functional for the hood...Its a V6 3.8 dISPLACEMENT

you're sad. I know about the formula. I educated myself on all forms of the car. But you assume that I don't know. For shame. Why are you hatin? I don't understand. And the reason the formula is rare is because it looks like the V6 which is good if you want a sleeper. Yeh there you go talking about racing. DUH I said I don't drag. And what makes you so confident? You don't know what exactly I have on my car or what I am doing with it. Sorry for you dumba$$ closed minded attitude. I didn't just read some stuff and thought it would be okay. I did a lot of calling around (some boring days in Iraq) and I was told what things to do to make everything on my car serve a purpose. Damn man get a clue just because someone does something YOU don't like doesn't mean they don't know sh*t.
