          I did it to mine and I like it a lot. I did it myself with spray paint, so of course if you get it prayed professionally it will be even better.

          Even my spray paint job looks better then all of tha peeling paint did.

          I did the roof, mirrors, and the vents in the Firebird hood.

          Brings tons of compliments on the car...

            Summer is always better for paint it dries quicker and less flaws in the paint.

                      top, yes, mirrors no

                      black mirrors look cheap and out of place IMO, and i dont think they had them in 00'

                          I have black mirrors in perfect condition I will trade for maroon colored mirrors. I want body colored mirrors and paint black on my roof where there would be t tops. I think that look is very clean.

                              If nothing else, it'd be easier to paint it black then trying to match the maroon color... especially if you do it yourself...
