With all this talk about Knight Rider, I figured I'd post up some pics of a detail my buddy and I did over the summer. The car, an 01 Firehawk, was owned by my buddy. The new owner brought it up to us from CT to be detailed. I did break a cardinal rule of automotive photography and shot the car on the grass but we needed the shade to detail in.
Rebellious Photos :: The Hawk Detail
the pics are huge (3000x2000) but they make a nice background. it's what i have at home right now.
that has a LS1 great motor
Sweet jeusus....*drool*
If it weren't for insurance premiums i would have that exact same car, and no motorcycle.
I think i made the right choice though!
That it does. rated at 335 hp from SLP with the exhaust. This one had a few other goodies, most note worthy was the Bilstein suspenion upgrades and the Auburn rear dif...Quote:

Nice pictures, but there is some beater Mustang in the background with bad paint that is throwing the whole picture off.
Thanks!Quote:

I don't think any photographer should limit potential photo possibilities to any "Golden Rule"...
Good point Bergs!
one of the nicer trans am models.... aren't they pretty rare? i mean "actual" slp firehawks... 335hp is pretty nice, add a CAI, Power Commander, and full exhaust.... wakes them up really nice, had a friend i used to go toe to toe w/ in my LX hatch
Daytona440...where are you located? How much you charge for a wax job, for a super nice NESR chick like me? I do the detailing of my car myself, but for the first one of the season, I might want to have someone do the dirty work for me... :naughty
:drool:
Was never a big fan of those car's...They just remind me of a bunch of Gumbas from Revere cruisin down Revere beach on a Sat Night. But that's a nice lookin Bitch right there...:beerbang:
meh its got the same motor as my pickup..... jk detail job
