First... This is a pic of the rims that I want... 20's in the back and 19's in the front with some wide nitto drag radials in back and not sure about the tires in the front.

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.
