Default Completed new look for my TA

After putting in a long weekend of getting this baby clean and applying my decals and stripes, I figured it was time to ***** out my daily driver a little. Broke up the solid black on black and here's the end result:

Thanks, I think it really sets it off and makes it look a little more alive.

good update with the stripes and the letters on the side, and the fill-ins on the back. on the interior though, not to sure about the red vent rings and the defrost on the pillars, but that's just my opinion. looks really good overall though.

Looks good!

I would have done somethings different, like kept the ram-air openings black, gotten the Zo6 wheels in deep dish and not painted the interior stuff.

Thanks guys. I posted up previously about the interior painting I did, and the defroster vents on the pillars I do plan to replace with some stock charcoal ones next time I find some in a junkyard, but the A/C vent rings and the steering wheel I like as is. I guess I just have different taste when it comes to the wheels because the Z06 rims I got are exactly what I've been drooling over since I bought the car. I'm personally not a big fan of the deep dish Z06 rims TBH.

That's whats great about the car hobby, we all have different taste and the cars become a reflection of that. I would say all of us can appreciate a clean modded car and that's what you have.

Looking good.

But you should never turn your wheel away from the camera.

But nice job on adjusting the air vents.

+1 to that, I love seeing others' cars to get new ideas and/or just appreciate what they've put together. I've seen some cars on here that are just gorgeous even though they're not something I'd necessarily put on my car haha.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! Next on my list is some internal mods, but I'm going to have to save up for a few months to get started on those. I'll put up more pics when the time comes. Until then, keep em coming guys

Any plans in lowering it, or are you happy with the stock ride height?

Unfortunately I can't lower mine any due to where I live. Everything around here has a lot of hills, humps, and too-tall speed bumps. I already bottom out here and there and scrape the air dam below on damn near everything around here. I thought about replacing my air dam back when I got the car just because it's a little chewed up on the bottom lip, but now I see why and it'd just be a waste of money cuz the new one would get ruined too If I lived in a flatter area, I'd look into lowering springs, but I also don't want to ever have to mess with repainting the bottom of my bumper. I also plan to get some LT headers on at some point which will only worsen my problem

Clean...

Painted red looks good since its done tastefully,chrome trim ring for AC vents is another option to go with chrome wheels.

I thought about it, but I saw in various posts that the chrome rings aren't being made anymore right now, correct? That made me wanna do my own thing to really make it feel like "mine"
