Last pictures to ever be posted. Car totalled by woman running a red light and totalling my car.

Check out the new clear park lamps. From an accord but I cut the hell out of them and made them fit. looks awesome with blue bulbs.

I finally lowered my car using eibach sportline springs. It was a pain in the ass but worth it. Plus I installed KYB gr2 struts and love the improved handling. check it out.

I finally took advice from my poll and friends and took the chrome trim off my car. I think it looks a lot better, what do you think? I also threw in some clear turn signals up front.

I got it to about 128 mph but this is the only picture that turned out good. Wouldn't go higher than 130 mph.

Here's my first subwoofer enclosure Ive built. turned out nice and sounds good too. Completely fills back and goes all the way down into the trunk for max cubic feet. Pain in the ass to build tight but worth the hassle now.

I ditched the black-outs and put on some Grid-Style taillights. I had to buy some new light sockets for turn signals but turned out looking much nicer. These taillights are sleeker than firebird lights and black-outs. Here some pictures:

Cartoon picture, playin with a new camera.

I installed some kick ass lower control arms and panhard bar from umiperformance.com and what an improvement!! I had a real wheel hop problem and now i can do burnouts and fly sideways around corners with ease!!!! i highly recommend to everyone! This pic isn't my car, haven't taken pic yet:

Edelbrock TES headers and MSD 8.5mm plug wires. Headers are GREAT!!! You can also see the two y-pipes here which are much less restricting than stock. They come with the TES setup.

Looks AGGRESSIVE!!!!!

I decided not to use the headers listed 6871, I ordered a complete set of y-pipe and headers (6875) instead so if anyone is intrested in the TES headers, I would sell for probably 150 bucks. I paid 190 for them plus I painted them with 1500 degree paint. They look good and sign gb or email me if you are at all intrested. Enjoy the site and check back for the new header install!!

Hey There! Thanks for checking by my 88 Firebird, Hope you like it!! It's the 305 Throttle Body Injected. You probably just sighed but don't underestimate it, it runs pretty strong. I want to keep the motor fairly stock but here's some current mods:

=Center console from '98 Camaro 6 speed (Highly Recommend!!!)
=3" Flowmaster American Thunder Cat-Back Exhaust (pretty throaty)
=4" tall K&N Open Filter (huge difference over stock 2")
=Jet Stage 2 Chip (I can't tell though)
=Just bought Edelbrock Headers (eBay)
=Bosch platinum plugs
=Eagle Alloy 117 Rims and BFG Tires (15x8)
=20% Tint (not really a mod, but helps)
=Black-outs (anyone intrested in buying??)

Here are a few pictures of how the car is sitting right now. I bought the car with 46,000 miles 2.5 years ago. It now has about 65,000 because it has alwasy been my daily driver. I have worked for this car since i was fifteen so don't think I'm just getting things handed to me!!! I'm 18 now, and going to college next fall, still some things I'd like to do though. Enjoy these Pictures!!

Hey, did you have to modify the locations of any screws on the 1998 center console, or was it pretty much plug and play?
