Default Im gonna make her stand out!

Well i just got my 02 TransAm a couple weeks ago, have to say that i love the car, the way it handles, everything! now i want to make her unique and stand out.
I want to put racing stripes but i havent been able to find any good sites???
Its pewter and black leather so im taking off the interior trim pieces, sanding and painting them silver. I want order a Macewen overlay for the guages but i heard their customer services is bad. anyways i just wanted some input from anyone who knows of the best things to buy for appearance modds. thanks

Youll get mixed responses here about painting the interior. But for good sites on vinyl search for fourth circle designs (or something like that) and brent franker.

Look into a CETA and see if you like it to make your rear end stand out.

stand her out yes, . . but not in a bad tacky way, . . some of the meanest baddest lookin trans ams are the ones with simplicity, . . look at silver02ta, . . he took off his blackbird stripes (so did i) and i like his and my car 100x's better, . . keep your interior stock, painting it is rice and turns out tacky. as for your exterior: Black Ceta with nice exhaust tips and a set of nice wheels will really stand her out in a good way rather then racing stripes, buncha decals, emblems, stock rims and painted interior pieces.

trust me, jus take a look at the thread, "post pics of the hottest trans ams out there!", my personal favorite and almost everyone else's, is the STOCK black trans am on CCW 505a rims,

Keep it Simple

Unique wheels are about the best way to make a car stand out.

I painted a ton of interior parts an my car and it was unbearable to sit in due to fumes during the summer (lived in Texas at the time).

I mean the painted pieces looked good but do to the crappy interior fitment it sort of stood out against the vinyl and looked sorta dumb when you thought about it.
