An old favorite gets a refreshed look …
Usually, when an Instagram graphic designer Photoshop uses to give a classic American muscle car such as this Pontiac Firebird, the Widebody treatment becomes the stomach. And although we do not expect everyone to like the results (or even accept that the Firebird can be called a muscle car), this is one of the best of these examples we have seen in a while.

Instead of including JDM styling instructions in an American car, this display keeps things more true for the original appearance of the classic Firebird. It also has a clean, slender look without exposed bolts or rivets. That fact, in combination with the use of black, makes the fender flares out as if they were meant there, despite the grim departure of the oe look.
The enormous haircut is a cool function and is more appropriate for a car like this than some other options. It is tight yet muscular and combines perfectly with the rest of the body. Since the front fascia is not unrecognizable by using a huge LED light strip or such nonsense, the overall identity of the Pontiac is stored.
Although the wheels are a major deviation from everything used in the Golden Age of muscle cars, we think they look suitable on a build like this. As for the back, the spoiler is appropriate subtle and the rear lights are quickly recognizable, just like the headlights.
We would not want to propose to do something like that in real life with a clean Firebird. A rough barn found or something that is usually separated and left behind to sit in a garden would be an excellent candidate, because such a car already needs a great effect, so that it is not entered. This display works well in that context.
