I finally got around to restoring and installing the snowflakes. I was gonna paint 'em white but decided on a satin aluminum finish. This was a more practical than aesthetic decision: White snowflakes would've shown brake dust and been harder to keep clean. With blacked-out holes the brake dust will be virtually invisible :mullet:
Anyway, here she is with her new boots on. The 16" wheels and 225/60R16 tires really fill up the wheelwells compared to the 15" 10-holes and 225/60R15 tires:

I likely:D.
I ended up painting the holes on mine silver like they are stock. It's ok as I wipe down the wheels after every drive;)
very nice now thats lookin better snowflakes look better then 10 hole imo
Meh, another white bird with snowflakes...:D
Yeah, Tom, but it's all in the details. Where you converted a TC to a 5.0 Bird, I converted a 5.0 Bird to a TC. Well, looks wise, anyway... And, of course, suspension/brakes/interior/rear end :hick:
...and Thunderjet302, you're just crazy :crazy:. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
It's a show car what do you expect ;)
i have 2 rear snowflakes on my car till i get new springs for the rear so its stops rubbing with my 275s.
looks good man
I agree with your treatment of the wheels, and the all-white car looks good with them.
Time to up date the pics in your signature, the difference is pretty striking. Nice job!
+1
I will say again you just can't beat snowflakes for looks on 87/88 birds. I will agree there are some beautiful wheels out there can look great too, maybe just as good, but not better. Awesome job!!
Those wheels look good on that white Bird!
When is it getting the Mach 1 chin spoiler?
But any way you slice it, it's still a white bird with snowflakes...
BTW looks good, just raggin' on ya... You've likely put more effort into yours, than I did swapping in the 5.0...
I like that!:)
Hate the snowflakes, but they do look good on your car...
