Default Grabber Blue TA/Formula PICS!!!

Just got my Grabber Blue TA on the road. Originally the car was a 96 TA LT1 (wrecked) transferred everything (from sheet metal up) into a V6 98 firebird body (with a few additions i.e. TA spoiler and ws6 hood). It's not quite done yet, just got new exhaust tips in today and put on GS stripes and a mini CETA mod but I haven't gotten a chance to take pics of it yet. Let me know what you guys think so far.

I personally would have done satin on the sail/side mirrors..
Need to change caliper color IMO.

Otherwise looks great.

Still trying to decide how i feel. Think it needs a blackbird stripe, front bird decal and maybe blackbird wingtips.

I have added a ram air decal to the hood since the pics were taken, the front bird decal is on its way along with rear pontiac decal, and I am in the process of installing dual 3 1/2 in. exhaust tips as well. Thanks for the feedback though.

I absolutely love it. Reminds me of the aqua blue that the 5th gens had/have.

I love the look of the car, but I don't care for black rims on anything. IMO, if the rims were silver, the car would be perfect.

I was under the impression it was gonna be more of a matte finish... but I still like it. Looks good.

That's because you were thinking of the other Trans AM getting painted this exact color...

After seeing it, I like it on the 5.0s much better. I give you props for trying something new though.

It looks great. The gloss black matches well with it.

Car looks fantastic! I was originally looking at a 2001 Laguna Blue M3 when I bought my junk but it was 2x the price. I absolutely love the M3 in that color. There is something about that certain hue of blue that catches my eye every time.

color looks great, not fond of the ta spoiler on the formula . I think the mini ceta mod , blackbird stripes and the nose bird all in the same color would finish it off.

looks nice.

Looks good needs some more black to break it up, cause thats a bright color, maybe once it's good and dry play with some plasti-dip to see what u like, like maybe some GS stripes or something
