2002 pontiac firebird formula walkaround/startup/sail panel bubbling

condition of my factory sail panel after sitting in the sun all day. car spends majority of its time in the garage. at this point the issue is consistent enough that I don't really care too much. at some point I may invest in a carbon fiber panel or find a pre 98 piece but replacement is definitely a big job. sanding & repainting factory piece will not solve the issue

    What a beautiful formi ❤ I have built a formula ws6 clone from a basic 3.8v6 with c5 ls1 engine swap, built tranny and many upgrade parts. Also did the Turn One PSP w pulley. Also did the alternator swap to a truck alternator from a 05 avalanche. These Power Steering Braces do work. I have built my own from a L-steel profile. It eliminates flex from the firewall. The secret is to fix the Mastercylinder so it is fixed but not so hard it punches the brake booster too much 😊 I also have Nittos on the back with the same dimensions as you have. Nittos are sticking as hell, but in the wet... ou ou ou😮 😅 but makes fun 😊 Yeah, these sail panels... have the same issue 😢

    Nice dude. These cars are a love/hate affair for sure but I enjoy messing with them

    I thought about upgrading to a truck alternator but decided to get a stock Delco..

    Beautiful bird! I have this exact car, and I feel your frustration with the sail panel.

    Thank you sir ! It really is frustrating as the rest of the car is pristine

    @@dant6546 I understand. My car only has 17,000 miles and is only driven to car shows. I still have half a dozen bubbles. One day I'll replace it. Keep posting Firebird videos and I'll keep watching.
