help me decipher my firehawk

Post by hvactechfw » Wed Oct 02, 2013 10:13 pm

When I bought my car a few days ago, you would never know that it was a Firehawk.

It is a 2001.

So, does anyone know what "base alterations" consist of? Also, what suspension is BUPSS?

If you remove the hood, rims, and any of the options like floor mats, and the car cover. Sell those separately, and then sell the car as a regular low mileage T/A. You can probably get more money than if you were to just sell it as a Firehawk..?

Just a theory, anyway nice looking (what used to be a) Hawk! Base alterations are the hood, rims, catback, badging, ect. BUPSS is the "Bilstein Ultra Performance Suspension Sustem." You can check if the car still has this, if it does the shocks will be yellow as opposed to the factory orange.

How was the process? Enter a vin, wait a few days, data shows up? Or was it instant?

Thanks!!

I think he needs more than an emblem, ..., :lol:
Hood & Wheels would be the major items!

I was trying to order a birth certificate for my car. When you do, they ask for first and last name. Where does that appear on the certificate? Does someone have a picture of one?
