This goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Take your time with the sideskirts (and anything you do, really). If you rush to get them on, they will show it. I know you want to look good for school, but even if you don't have them on until December, if they look great, it will draw attention on the spot. It could make or break the car if they're not right, and with your car, that would be a shame.

IMO id just keep it as neat, clean and tastefull as you can. those are the ones i notice. i personally would rather fly under the radar. everybody knew my car but for some reason they all loved a white ratty irock rs pos cause it had blue raceing stripes down the center of it. and a 15" sub.

Just be happy you get to even have your Tbird at school and drive it yourself. I didnt get my license till 2 weeks before college started, so my high school years were mostly spent driving mom's Accord because she always had excuses to not take my Tbird. Dont ask.

BTW, I agree with Shame.

yep. i had a code 33 light silver blue 88 sport in highschool. everybody thought it was a granny car. i took quite a few people for rides that had no idea what it was let alone they were RWD V8 cars....opened a few eyes. the car actually had some respect by the time i graduated.

A nice paint job is probably your best ticket. There was a girl in my school that had a py slow mid 80's Firebird, her dad put some chrome wheels on it and a nice white paint job with blue stripes, everyone thought it was the most awesome car in the world.

I don't remember many nice cars from high school (but I went to a very small school).

One guy in my class had a Chevy Nova....no, not one of the good ones, one of the py little FWD hatchbacks. He painted it bright red, put on aluminum wheels and put in some subs, everyone loved it.

There was also a guy that had lowered S-10 that was really nothing special except he had some subs in it, and again everyone thought it was just awesome.

So yeah...paint.

OMG don't put racing stripes on your car lol well..have somebody photoshop them onto your car to see how it goes..but ask around for skirts though..they take time to look good..God knows it took me 6 months...i had to fix rust on the rockers and under the moulding first..then prep and paint the skirts and everything under the moulding. and when you get skirts...make sure the double sided tape is off of teh skirts bc it wont' stick if you don't do it correctly..and when u apply double sided tape..dont' take the plastic covering completely offf..then try to stick it on the car..YOU'll F*CK UP!..trust melol..line up the skirts and when you know you got it in teh right spot..drill the holes in teh wells..then pee off the rest of the tape and apply pressure and then screw it in..and make sure you can open and close your door =;).

yeah, no stripes. i was just saying people have no idea what they are looking at and have no taste. people see those and instantly think the car is awesome reguardless of the POS they are on......they have their home. it needs to be done in taste.

1) Make it rumble. (Nasty dogs never wimper.)
2) Make it stand out with paint. (Tasteful. Photoshop first to get the feel.)
3) Put a decent sound system in it. (No need to go overboard.)
4) Make it whip the ricers. (This can get pretty expensive and be slow to complete.)

I would do it in that order if the budget can stand it. And make a budget. Figure out how much each step will cost and make sure you can get the whole thing done in the time allotted. If you can not at least see if you can cover the first three. The rumble will set you apart from the ricers and they will know you are serious. (Everyone loves a muscle car.) Even if you can not back it up with an HO. They will not know the difference. Very few people in your school probably actually care about the performance, it is all about style, sound and sight. And the ones that do care, I seriously doubt they are on the yearbook staff.

Do all that and you will have a dang fine machine worthy of the yearbook!
