I don't really mind the comments about rice.  Everybody has their opinions and I understand where they are coming from.  IMO, anything can look good on a car if done right.  I've seen a lot of different T-Birds on this site that appeal to me and all of them are different.  For example, I like a lot of the birds that are left fairly stock with only a little changed to the exterior, but I also like your GSTBird and 88SptCoupe's birds with the body kits.  The greatest thing about owning a T-Bird of these years is that no matter what, the car is unique.  I've probably only seen 2 or 3 other 87-88 T-Birds in my area over the past few years.

true man like the car its clean kept personally to me this car only looks good stock of its black but to each his own, and skrew them and their comments on rice if you want it on your car its your car. ive gotten slack about my car from these guys but my geuss is most of them are over the hill and are too arrogant to admit that the import cars are infact better than our domestic cars.


Over the hill?!?!  If i'm over the hill, you must be 8 or 10 years old.  And arrogant?  Sorry if I don't share your thrill for the fast and the furious.  It's not even a contest for import vs. domestic.  I don't think there is any asian import (riceburners) that I would enjoy driving as much as my thunderbird.  They have no style and ride like tin cans rolling down a hill.  Compare our cars to the ricers of yesterday and tell me fox cars aren't superior.

Better yet compare our cars to an import from the same year. Now which one is better. Most of the imports that are 16 years old are piles of rust on wheels.

But now back to our original topic.
I think the car looks good. No I don't think the exhaust is rice its something my buddy wanted me to do to his car for quite a long time now.

Personaly the only think I would do is fix the paint on the rear bumper and find some 15 or 16 in rims.

Those are basically my plans for the exterior of this car.  That, and to get the few small rust spots fixed.  I'm not sure what type of rims i'd like to get though.  Cobra-R's look pretty good, but I'm sure there are alternatives that would look just as good.  For now I'm saving up to pay my parents back and to get a sweet stereo system.  This car is going to be my money pit for a while, I can already see it.
