lol i'll get some pics of it, its really shabby.  the only GOOD part IS the interior.  well i need to vaccume it, but the seats other than the seats being a bit sunfaded in the front, and floormats from a 86 pontiac grand am, its clean.  just recently the armrest latch broke, im ganna go to the pull a part and get a new one.  the labels around the switches on the center console is chipping away.  im in the process of putting in an aftermarket head unit so the dash is taken apart.  in my fender thread im missing the lights, so i've just put black racing duct tape over the holes for a quick fix.  oh and the center lights have been removed b/c one of the lenses fell off.  i got some good fog lights that are ganna be either fiverglassed in or something similar.  should look stock, not stock like showroom, but stock like an idiot would think its stock.  oh and since everything on my car is black, i painted the grill.. i have to redo it b/c of driving on the highway so much and the rock chips. but yeh, i'll get some pics of it.  its nothing special, basically a beater and thats what breaks my heart.  honestly i am a chevy guy.  i will own many chevys, but i will never get rid of the aerobird.  im ganna build it into a show stopping track car.  oh and whats up with new headlight lenses being 160 on ebay?  are they glass?
