Pimp my ride... Hey guys, need some thoughts on making my car look better.
We have a black 98 Trans Am. So far, I have a WS6 hood and 17x11 and 17x9.5 polished Torq Thrust II's going on.
I was thinking of doing the calipers while I'm at it. Should I go w/ the polished calipers, black paint w/ trans am decals, dark grey w/ decals, or some other color w/ decals? Red is not an option, too common and I want something more subtle.
What else should I look into doing to make the exterior look better? Subtle, classy, and clean is what I'm after.
Thanks.

I agree with the lowering springs for sure but for something a little more cheaper IMO and really adds to the appearance get...
Reflective badge overlays
Strips always look good on the WS-6 hood
some other expensive things are RIMS and tint

I think its the yellow vents that are killing that car.

Yellow + Black = Ick
Just my opionion though. Use silver, charcoal (for subtle accents) or pewter. I used to like a black car with red, but thats a bit played out now.

well if you piant the calipers then do them in some other color than Black or grey. I have red and they stand out alot, If you dont want to do red then I would go with the polished look but Ive seen a black car with Anodized blue calipers looked great too

Been out of town for a couple weeks...
Thanks for the suggestions. Can you get the Wings West front air dam only? How's it look on the car without the sideskirts?
The blackout kit looks interesting too.
