Looks absolutely amazing, despite the swirled covered surface of the black paint.
I'd seriously consider getting a conversion kit for my Camaro if it were available. Im loving that front........ It actually looks like everything a new Trans-Am should be like.....

Don't Like it? Suggit.

I'm with you, this design is better ...er, less bad?
Still, there's no denying the Firebreather's interior looks pretty good, and the Edelbrock S/C = sex on a stick. Still not a giant fan of either exterior design tho :/

The tail lights on fire breather look kinda tacky... The unlit portion looks good, but then there are just 2 circles that light up, bleh. Should make the whole thing an actual tail light instead of a cover...

I disagree. The phoenix t/a strikes me as more of a Smoky and the Bandit knockoff than the Firebreather, which I see as a loose interpretation of a T/A with some originality. I think the Firebreather is to a second gen bird what the Fifth Gen is to a first gen Camaro.

That firebreather is one butt ugly car. That so ugly one would have to sneak up on it to get in.

I'll get some pics of the production lights up here asap. BTW we love the honest comments, of course some will like the design and others won't. If everyone liked it....it would probably have been too boring. www.firebreathercar.com for more pics and info. |

the phoenix t/a looks like they hardly changed anything at all. firebirds should look dramatically more different from camaros. the fire breather looks way more dramatic, and thats what firebirds were all about.
