yet another 5th gen Firebird pic

Hi all,
After seeing a lot of cool interpretations of a 5th-gen Firebird here, I just wanted to submit a picture I made of one... I know it's not as good as the pics other people have done, because I did it in Paint. But since I don't have Photoshop or anything like that, I did the best with what I had. If someone out there can make a cleaned-up version of it, be my guest!

Cool Re: yet another 5th gen Firebird pic

Thanks for the comment... I went with the circular lights because they sort of reminded me of the first-gens, and partially because I've noticed a lot of other chops with the square lights, so I didn't want to duplicate what someone else had already done. But here's a hasty chop with square lights in...

Re: yet another 5th gen Firebird pic

I see you like the idea of a wider bulldge like the one I did

I had a hard time with round headlights too, they just didn't look right to me

I am doing one right now that has more of a 70 T/A feel and it has round headlights and looks OK

If you did that with paint, you are the paint master

Yeah, I think the wider bulge looks a lot better too. I wanted to put some Ram Air inlets on the hood too, similar to what you did but larger, but I couldn't get it to come out right. Thanks for the props on my Paint skills ... I just got a copy of Photo Impact through work but I'm still figuring out how to use it.

I really like that second chop with the squared lights. This car has so much potential it is incredible.

I like the front bumper . Could we do a 4th gen Ws6 cue with the hood.

Cool the Firebird is picking up steam .

Ok, I tried to add some Ram Air scoops to the hood, it's about the best I could get them to look.

Re: yet another 5th gen Firebird pic

I decided to try a more 3rd-gen/4th-gen inspired front end....
