Default FINALLY!! black with blue pearl flames and DMS springs (56k can die!)

just got done washin it up and took some pics... I'm not the greatest photographer in the world so the shots prolly suck, but here it is. 2000 Trans Am convertible Black with Blue Pearl ghost flames, DMS lowering springs, and !side molding!. Also sporting DragonZ28 stainless steel fender vents, PONTIAC fill ins, and ws6 hood grills. Thanx Dragon. Enjoy.

On the hood, and forgot to mention the custom painted license plate bird.

Down the side


The Stance

The colors
Now for some other random pictures I took:



Where did they go?



So.... what yall think? Here is a link to a previous post of mine so you can see a before and after comparison:old picture

I cant wait to see what it's going to look like with 18" Iforged Aeros with black centers!

Simply stunning. That pearl blue is a gorgeous color and the vents really set it apart. Can't wait to see it with the wheels!

That is SICK!!!!! I love those flames. I got a 99' NBM WS6 & i was just lookin into gettin those nose inserts & side vents. By far your pics have sold me on the same brand u went with. I think im gonna go with very very light white ghosted flames on mine, but im keepin the "Trams Am" lettering on the doors. Again VERY VERY nice paint & accents. Now time for some wheels.

I'm keeping the Trans Am on the doors too... The painter is doing some custom paint on it also. He's doing a silver that fades into the blue on the last letters. Similar to the bird.

Flames arent my style, but those are very tasteful. They have a ghost-like apperance to them, and the blue sets off the black perfectly. Looks good.

lol, hey ya find it wherever ya can

Thats a good color tho. Its not extra eye-catching @ first, but its not overly subtle. I think its a pefect match w/ that black (and it does look better on the car than the goal )

Awesome job, not too subtle but not too overdone like most flames are IMO. Very nice indeed. It'll look 10x as good when the wheels go on.

If you don't mind me asking what does a flame job like that cost?

it cost me $2,000 total for a complete repaint in the black and the flames. That includes a tailight that was busted and whatever bodywork was utilized to fix scratches and stuff like that. The painter is a real awesome guy. I personally know he spent 2 or 3 all nighters with this car, and has done an amazing job. I still have to take it to him to be repolished and have the emblems put back on. Then I can wax it and do my best to keep the bugs off it. He's a heck of a guy.

Ls1tech member DragonZ28, makes them and sells them on Ebay. You can get the Ram Air grills and the fender vents off Ebay. They are not chrome, they are stainless steel. He also makes rear PONTIAC fill ins. Very high quality!

actually... the only thing Magnaflow on it is the muffler. I should probably specify that in my signature, but I went to an exhaust shop and told them I wanted Dual tips for my exhaust, they found me a couple different sets and I picked out the ones I liked the best and tah dah. I originally had an ATR PITBULL 3" Catback exhaust which I HIGHLY recommend! That muffler was seriously straight through! It sounded VERY tame at cruising speeds, but when you go WOT that thing was crazy loud, people asked if I had cutouts. I loved it, but some rodent hit it and busted it and at the time i was in a hurry and just wanted a fix and told them to put on a matching Magnaflow. I dont have any power comparisons, but I guarantee you that the ATR flowed like a ****. Do a search and check them out if you are interested. I'm actually thinking of switching back, but I doubt I will ever act on it though.
