Default picd up a new TA convertible

its a 98 trans am convertible with about 120k on it. needs some paint work work on the front bumper and also the rear.
all stock the only mods are a magnaflow exhuast and K&N fliter. runs great
my plains for it ...
1.black ZR1s
2.paint the bumpers
3. buff and wax the **** out of it
4.CETA mod
5. add some (maybe) black "trans am" on the door.
im not putting alot of money into it. just making a nice driver.

i took off the ZR1s from my black TA and installed them on the red one.

wheels look great. Nice Looking Ride. lose the side molding, add the black "Trans Am" on doors and some black Blackbird stripes would make the hood pop and break the red up a little

Did you get that from Maine? Looks like the one that had been on CL for a while. Nice pick up, price was good if that's the one!
