Default Long time coming

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster... just wanted to introduce myself and show some pictures of my car. Its a 97 Quasar Blue Trans Am, pretty rare color though im not sure of the exact number. Ive been told its less than 300 but ive never confirmed it. Car has pretty basic mods, full exhaust, intake all that good stuff. I have big plans performance wise but i decided id work on appearance first. From the time i got the car till now ive added 18 inch c6 wheels, ceta mod, several interior dress up items, ram air hood, custom badging, silver blackbird stripes, and a fresh paint job (still factory color). Heres a few pics, tell me what ya think.

Day after i bought it


Present (1 and 1/2 years later)

Not a big fan of removed side molding on an lt1 car... love the way it looks on the ls1 cars but i just dont think the lt1s carry it as well. The molding breaks it up a little bit. As for corners, i have been thinking about it, might go smoked instead though. Thanks for all the great comments guys! And keep the suggestions coming too, always need some insite!

Those C6 wheels look sweet with the sharp edges of an LT1 TA. I like the blue and have only seen it on a few camaros in person butnever on TA. Keep up the good work and welcome.

Sweet TA, where ya located? The Quesar blue is very unique on your car. Appearance looks good, now just save some money and work on the suspension. That car would look even better with a certain 1.25" drop.

Im in Harpers Ferry WV... real nice place, about 30 mins from fredrick md, haggerstown md, winchester va... good central location, lots of car stuff going on around here. As for droppin the car, i had originally planed on it but my exhaust hangs pretty low and where i live theres a ton of killer speedbumps, so for now ill keep the stock ride hieght. I eventually thought about putting some sort of air ride set up on it so i could adjust it... thats down the road though, i have a motor to build and a 12 bolt to install lol.
