Hot! Very pretty birdie.
You need to work on your parking....
j/k very nice, maybe my next 5.0. will be a bird
your car looks awsome! Did you get it repainted or is that the stock paint? gotta love the lowered stance :bowdown:
*shudders* Some of the speedbumps around here se between the wheels on even my stock bird, I'll probably never let it go lower
What color is the paint? It doesn't look as dark as the moulding so I'm guessing it isn't true black.
I can't clear most speedbumps so I just go real slow and hope nothing important falls off :giggle: I can only imagine what his would to to a speed bump
Now THAT'S a nice looking ride!
Looks great. Very clean. If I had a black 'Bird, that's pretty much how I'd want it to look.
Can't agree on the "gotta love the lowered stance", though.. I mean as if it's an automatic thing to love. I'm not real wild about lowering on vehicles in general. Modest lowering on a Bird looks OK to me, say an inch or so.
That's a sharp lookin Bird! Wow!
Thanks for comments! As for paint, it's stock... with some good polishing :) The hood sucks though... all the more reason to get a TC hood ;)
As for stance, it looks awesome... functionally... it sucks. Those are Mustang springs (Many people say you can't go with Mustang lowering springs in the heavier Tbird... I did :P) I also have Koni Mustang rear shocks. They have about 1" of travel. But I need them because they are super stiff so the rear doesn't bounce or s the fenders (because of the lowering). I'm going to be making clear corners as well as something custom I thought up for the grill... :)
Try sticking clear reflectors from some other vehicle in them because I'm sure it'd look a lot better and possibly look like it was manufactured that way. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you think up for the grill as I can't imagine what one would look like (being that all you ever see is the stock grill or tc nose)
So is that factory "black" paint? If its black, I may use your car in some photoshops in the future to see how certain things would look. 2 weeks until graduation from college means I get to have more money to spend on the car :D
you just love disagreeing dont you? :p
I know what I like and I know what I don't like. Whether or not that coincides with the likes and dislikes of others doesn't really concern me too much. :p
I will be... I saw that other post about making your own and having it just 'clear' wouldnt look that good.
This car just makes me want to get another 87-88 Bird again.
Thats a clean bird. It looks good. I like the stance, looks mean. The ROH wheels look good as well.
Dude. The first time I saw pics of your car was the day I realised t-birds are at their best in black.
Keep that thing beautiful.
:bowdown:
looks like a very clean body. very nice bird nice rims too
