sounds pretty damn good. I love the white/black theme. guess I'm biased. but I think it's a good mix if done right. Here's my setup..
Bow Tie grille, Blacked out side markers, Black Harrell stripes, Black rims, Black smooth Berger, black halo's and tail light covers

Here's my white and black theme. It's not finished yet. I'm currently trying to trade someone identical rims, except black powder coated. And then I wanna VHT my tail lights and side markers and I'll probably be good after that.

When I re-clear coated my head lights I think I started with 600 and finished with 1000 grit sand paper. If you take your time and sand off all the old coating it will come out sick as hell. Make sure you get them as smooth as possible and it will look like a stock piece.

if you clear coat the intake you can do white... no clear and it will turn yellow from dust and dirt... or powder coat it...
black is the easiest..
ceta if its not done...
do the side markers and third brake light but leave the tails IMO... looks much better IMO..
black rims with polished lip..
!side molding and !Trans Am..
tint... you better already have that...
black decal on front bird, white on rear center filler and black the PONTIAC on the rear bumper...

I want to polish center peice on the back..... and VHT my tails and leave the reverse lights alone if possible......WHITE intake manifold after sanding it down then followed by clear coat.....never thought of the black bird on the front bumper.......black TRANS AM on the side soon.....possible filler on the back in black........ I guess ill leave the intake alone and start the outside in one shot...

if anybody is interested in emblems u need to check out www.emblempros.com or u can visit their thread here just do an advanced search for dragonz28 as a user and it pop right up for you. they have some good **** and they can custom just about any emblem you want and as far as i have the seen the cheapest by far (like half of the others out there). i just ordered a stock style nose emblem but in stainless and says LS1 instead of the Chevy bowtie.

Ok well since I have so many white and black fans in here. I was thinking about a rim scheme like this a while back. Have the spokes painted half white half black powder coated and leave the dish/lip and center piece chrome. I made a poorly done paint of my car with them. I just did the rear rim.
