Lightbulb Wings West W-Type Body Kit on my Trans Am??

i have a 1999 Pontiac Trans Am. the Color is Medium Metallic Blue, a very rare color and not many made. i was thinking of putting the wings west body kit on it. there are no blue trans ams like mine in Virginia and i want to have the baddest bird around. i think the body kit would look good seeing as the medium blue trans ams i have seen on google do not have it. what do you all think about it??

looks nice, but my 2 cents is this. The more stock and clean the bird, the more bad *** it looks and respect I have for it.

The 98-02 WS6's are the sickest cars ever made IMO. Every other car ive had, i have wanted to change something about it. Not this one. remember, less is more...

My car isn't a true WS6, but I have the WS6 wheels and love them. I'd rather have them re-chromed/refinished then replace them.

Those look nice, they kinda have a neo-classic cragar appeal to them. But in that regaurd I'd lean more towards the torque thrust wheel design. Either way I'd agree 18" would look nice.

I'll probably be made fun of but I wish the 98-02 t/a bumper would fit on the 93-97's I like the hood, fenders and flipups better on the 93-97's but I like that bumper better, I have toyed with making the latter bumper fit on my 95 and smooth out the top like it is on the earlier cars. I saw a pic on here of someone who did it, but it looked like crap, he used diomand plate to fill in the space. I guess I'm trying to think out of the box, not have a cookie cutter car.

Seriously-that kit looks like something from Vato-zone. The T/A is one of those cars that doesn't need a thing...

That's not a body kit though. That's the factory Trans Am body with an added front chin spoiler thing.
