I did mine in plasti dip, and am about 97% satisfied with the job I did. Other than that, my '99 arctic white t/a is bone stock. I want to eventually get a LM1 catback with some quad tips like yours. Very nicely done!

thanks...make sure if you get the lm1 kit that you leave your cats on...otherwise itll rasp like crap (i know from experience). even though its quite now, im much happier with my current magnaflow set up (with my lt headers and ory)

Thanks for the tips!
I did the whole "no cats thing" on my old camaro back in high school, along with a lot of other stuff that I would consider dumb today (ripped out perfectly good a/c, put hoodpins on a steel hood, etc.). The t/a is going to remain as legal and pleasant to drive as possible.

I also like that you went with the 4th gen bird on the filler panel. I also did mine in white, but with the stock-style bird. Kind of regretting it now after seeing yours.

yeah...the old bird just didnt look right at all....i also did all the lettering in black all the way around, removed the molding (actually, the old owner did, but i wqs going to anyway), and blacked out all my sidemarkers and driving lights. dark tint too...black and white everywhere except the nice honey comb tail lights.

@arapitis, did you put a darker 3rd brake light lens on? It looks darker in the 2nd pick.
