Default One year later...my appearance thread

Well, its been just over a year since I bought my '01 WS6, and I thought I'd post a thread showing how far I have come. I am mostly done with appearance mods now, except for stance, which is the next major hurdle. I'll probably tackle that early next year. What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

On the lot...


Once I got it home, tidied it up a bit...





Now the appearance mods. All listed below.
-Navy metallic blue BB stripes
-White "Trans Am" with bird filler panel decal
-Blue calipers
-Side moldings removed
-SLP badge opposite WS6 logo on rear bumper
-CETA mod (done with plastidip)
-Magnaflow catback with Quad tips
-Torq Thrust II's, 17x9.5 up front, 17x11 in back
-Pontiac Concept Dart on the nose (just added, can be seen a few pics down)

Looks good. I really like what you've done. That says alot since I'm normally not a fan of white, haha. Very clean.

Looks excellent!! Really dig the tips. It's gonna look infinitely better once you get the springs though, they make such a huge difference.

Only thing I'd add are some black fill-ins for the "PONTIAC" on the rear. And maybe tint the reverse lights, I love how they look blacked out. But either way, looks great as it sits.

Looks pretty good. I would probably do some kind of blue wheels though similar to the 30th cars... Oh and get that plastidip crap off of there.

If anyone needs a good price on those, the place I bought mine for was far below even JEG's price.

I love the sound, can't wait to get some headers and really make it rumble.

I'm sure it's just me, but I think the car looked better with the factory wheels. Clean lookin' car, though.

Dr. Tran-eventually I will have the CETA painted, I did the plasti dip as a temporary thing and to see if I would like it (I do)

Carlos-dont get me wrong I love the WS6 rims as well, I just really like something with a lip, and I also like staggered fitments. I know that many are tired of the TTII's, but they are popular for a reason...and no one around me runs them. Where is that WS6 emblem from?

Lighting-Koni's may be in the future...most definetly will get Stranos when I get springs.

My recommendation is do the springs and shocks at the same time as they compliment one another. Hold off until you have enough money for both. I went with the 4/3 Koni's to save a few bucks. Talk to Sam, he'll hook you up.

Lookin' good, ...,
Yea, Pontiac fill-ins in black,or maybe blue.
The blue WS6 badge definitely.
I wouldn't go as far as advertising the SLP emblem.
What do you have from SLP? An Airlid? Know what I mean?
It's like puttin' a "Jeg's" or "Summit" emblem or decal on there.
But to each their own, ..., You've made good progress so far!
