I'm a student at Texas A&M University, and upon graduating I'd like to do something to commemorate the time I spent there. I have a '99 Arctic White T/A that is begging to have some appearance mods done to it. Here's a quick 'shop I did of a 30th to get a maroon/white scheme.

Thoughts?

Also, I've seen someone take a black '99 T/A and turn it into a 1 of 1 Bandit/30th Anniversary Edition, badges and all. What does everyone think of making a 1 of 1 Texas A&M/30th Anniversary Edition? Wrong to badge it that way?

As a disclaimer, I have NO intention of trying to pass this car off as an original 30th I never plan on letting it go, so selling it as such is not an option for me.

Any ideas for color changes, additional mods, etc?

do the maroon wheels work? or would a dark graphite with a polished lip look better?

i think the wheels would be a bit much i would go for a graphite wheel myself but i have a two tone bird so my opinion means nothing here

I'd go for some chrome rims myself. I think the maroon wheels are pretty tacky, along with the blue 30th annviersary rims. If you're going to do maroon accents, I'd avoid black/gray rims as you are adding another color tone to the car and it can start to look pretty busy(and a Trans Am is kind of busy looking to start with).

I'd also maybe just do maroon badges, maroon blackbird stripes, maroon bird on the front nose, maroon Pontiac letters on the back, and leave it at that. Painted grill inserts are kind of ricey. Maybe a matching maroon Texas A & M logo on the sail panel would look cool I think.

What would look real cool is some custom maroon uplohlstery on the inside. Maybe do maroon inserts on the seats, and a custom Texas A & M embroidery on the headrest. I'd also change the door panel inserts to maroon if you do the seats.

I like the polished lip. Definately would look good with the red stripes to go along with the color scheme.

Not a fan.
Also, will the school be paying you to do this/support/advertise for the university?

No sponsorship unfortunately, haha. We catch a lot of flack for school spirit but I'm not as crazy as most of us are. I just actually happen to like a maroon/white scheme.

Other options for wheels: graphite w/polished lip (like the Columbia edition Wrangler). I think that a more grey tone would look better than the black like on the CETA wheels.

Or possibly a graphite wheel with a maroon pc'ed lip? Ricey?

I'm starting to agree with AronZ28 about just stock WS.6 sportlines...unless a dark wheel helps tie the scheme together rather than making it too busy. I'll try 'shopping a few more pics.

I really like the 30th stripes. I'm considering finding a shop to do a two-tone graphite stripe with maroon border pin-line (just like the two-tone blues on the original 30th). Maybe a 3-tone maroon/graphite/silver mix feather stripes on the side like on the CETA?

I'm already set on how I'd like to do the interior, it's just a matter of saving the money to pay for everything

Maroon badges and custom sail panel (Aggie seal) are already in order. Still wondering about using maroon 30th badges though. Bad idea?

I like it. At first I didn't know when I seen the title to the thread but after seeing the wheels, I really like it. Atleast some one is stepping out of the box or atleast thinking.

It looks tastefully done and it has meaning for you. Go for it.

99superhawk

thanks, man. i appreciate the kind words. hopefully the thread title won't turn too many people away.

here's another mock-up i did with graphite wheels/maroon pc'd lip compared to the original idea. both make me

which do y'all think looks better?

I like the first one.

the first one.

99superhawk

thanks for the input on the wheels. keep 'em coming. this is helping me a good bit on deciding.

with that in mind, here are a couple of rough 'shops i've done for stripe schemes. i realize this could depend greatly on the wheels (or vice versa), but maybe throw in your opinions on this too? maybe suggest which wheels pair/match which stripes?

thanks, all.

i like the first one again, but the second one wouldn't be bad either.

First one for sure,I like it because its diffrent but in a way kinda looks a barbie ws6 lol,I do think its diffrent and looks good though,

I like the grey wheels and second shot.
That red is too pinkish to me and I would think a girl drove that bird but I understand why you are doing it so I mean its really whatever you want to end up looking at everyday that you go outside to start up your car. The gray stripes look cool too
I also dont like super flashy either IMO.
