Default Heres my TA + $3000.

Ok, so I have about 5k to get the car where I want it appearence wise (its fine performance wise and I'm happy with it... for now), I'm definately getting a paint job, so thats 2k, now I will have 3k left to do whatever, whether that be hood, wheels, combination off etc. What would you guys do if you were me?

EDIT: CRAP!!! Can someone move it please? Sorry.

hmm...I thought your car already looked good??? I like the ZR1 rims on the t/a, you don't see that very often. I guess you could get a WS6 hood, but honestly I like the car how it is.

Firehawk or WS-6 hood.
Tints
Clear corners
CETA (graphite grey)
Ram Air stripes for the hood (grey)
Some rims (again grey or gunmetal)

Honestly I'm don't know what shape your car is in but judging your sig the rims look fine. How's the interior? Tint, WS-9 Hood, Remote Starter and call it a day imo.

Tint is new, 5% all the way around, interior is honestly pretty good, no tears, rips, smells. Remote start would be sweet. The wheels are good, they just aren't as shiney as new ones and I really wanna get some 315's out back. (285's right now). Thanks for the comments, and a hood would be nice too, keep em coming!

WS9 hood possibly, depends on how much you could get (find) one for. Otherwise I would get some rims.

But the option I argee with 110% would be to give me the money. I accept paypal

what color is your t/a? If its black then maybe some black z06 motorsport wheels with the polished lip? I think that would look sick! I also agree get the ws6/ws9 hood and call it a day.

My car is NBM, I really like the chrome, i think black may look a lil off on NBM. I wonder if a CETA sail panel, mirrors, and bumper would look good in gloss black with some new wheels and hood?

Some 18" chrome TT2's, ws6 hood, clear corners, paint your calipers and put "transam" decals on'em.

i would leave the hood like it is and get a set of ccw's or somthing like that. or possibly new rotors/calipers like baers or ssbc, or even c5 z06's.

I used to have ZO's, they didnt seem to flow with the lines too well, CCW's would be nice, but I dont know if i'd have enough to get some with tires, I like the painted calipers idea, either black, or have them polished. Rotors are good too, not too pricey either. Keep the ideas coming, so far i think im going with a hood, brakes, and a couple decals (rear fill in, front bird, and hood stripes).

Trust, I have told you before that I thought your car looks awsome, I guess if your gonna do something mabet a firehawk or ws9 hood. Thats what "I" would do. I like the ws6 but everyone has them....

you could add a bird to the front, silver or white... Silver always looks good on a dark car.

I say leave the stock hood, get some 11" chrome ZR1's w/315's out back, paint if needed and call it done. Take the rest of the $ and get something you can DD and not worry about door dings, retarded drivers, etc.....or you could save/invest it.

I have a '02 NBM T/A and was looking to ge a diffrent hood, but I see more WS6,WS9,Firehawk hoods than our stock hood so y bother? Your car looks killer the way it is now so y ruin a good thing? I also like the fact that stupid people look at my car and say "its not a WS6 so it cant be fast" And the look on thier face after the get smoked is priceless.

DO NOT PUT BLACK WHEELS ON THAT CAR
