You know what they say "once you go black, you never go back." That bird looks sick all blacked out. I will probably never own a car other than black, but I would never tint my taillights because it is illegal in my state, and I worry that if someone rear ended me, they might try to say that it was my fault because they could not see my taillights.

I'll have to admit, theyre pretty dark. Maybe should lighten up the Honeycombs... JUST A LITTLE. lol

10 Spokes fell through, going with Chrome c5 zo6's

I would remove the 'Not A T/A' decal between the lights. Looks cheap.

Other than a set of gloss black wheels, IMO the car looks fine.

I wasnt too fond of the decal at first, but it grew on me...

Plus when i had my M6 formula, i raced my buddies trans am, and was neck and neck, and none of the teenagers believed me, there excuse was "He has a trans am"... Retards, I know.

IDK, i'm getting a good deal on c5 Zo6's.

I would take Black 10 Spokes, or maybe C6 Z06's

Great choice

Just make sure they are 18's, not 17's. IMO they don't look nearly as good in a 17"

6 things I would do to your formula if it was mine.

1. 96-97 WS6 hood.
2. Corsa clone exhaust tips 3.5"
3. Black wheels with a chrome or polished lip.
4. Redo the VHT on the tails with some clear.
5. Polish the center tail panel and put a flat black bird and formula decals on.
6. 98+ formula door emblems painted flat black.

just my 2cents.

I love murked out cars even though they are a pita to keep clean and are cop magnets. Then again, all of these cars are cop magnets! I would stick with the murked look.
1.Get some tips
2.Get rid of decal on rear (unless its something you really love)
3.black wheels with machined lip

Def. considering putting the 96-97 Ram air hood on, IT LOOK NASTY WITH THE FORMULA FRONT END, imo

I really do like the corsa clone tips... Where can i find those at?

The tail lights will be re tinted, since i'm prob. going to be purchasing a set of honeycombs.

Decal is coming off!

Was thinking of doing Black Zr1's with aluminum lip, but there are way too many Fbodies with Zr1's. Prob gonna do C6 Zo6's, All black.

Where can i get the flat black tail light vinyl?

Im confused about the 98+ door emblems.

The 98+ door emblems are a different font I do believe. I haven't been around any LT1 formulas in a long time, but the formula emblem is painted in cursive, right? The newer formula emblems are just letters like the trans am emblems.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what he was talking about. I think the cursive is cooler anyways.
