looks GREAT as it sits... i'd put some black or charcoal Blackbird style stripes on it along with some rear Pontiac fill-ins (either matching the front or stainless steel)

think the blackbird stripes would "fit" the raptor hood?

paint the lower portion of the bumper black, black out all the emblems, front and rear side markers, and some black stripes of some sort. i also agree with the blackbird stripes.

Blue!!! Always loved the classic white/blue TA scheme. Especially the 30th anniversary cars!

Something I don't think I've ever seen on a white F-body is ghost stripes. I think ghost stripes on a white T/A would look KILLER if done in pearlescent paint. Subtle, yet really jumps out at you when first noticed.



This paint is called "Ghost Chrome." I think this would look really hot to contrast a white paintjob as well, especially if you blew air on it to fan it out and give it a marbled look like this:



This paint is called "Eclipse." Imagine having a set of racing stripes that could change from a colored stripe to a ghost stripe. This is what that paint achieves. It's heat reactive. It turns from black to white or blue to white based on the ambient temperature. As the temperature outside rose, your stripes would slowly morph from blue to white, and then back to blue when it cooled off again. Pearlessence was mixed in for a more dramatic effect:



Just some ideas...

Everytime i see those rims, I fall more and more in love with them... Car looks great. I would paint the lower bumper black and get some black bird stripes and the car would be perfect

WOW... that heat reactive paint is amazing, but I bet it brings a pretty price.

If you like blue and you wanted to do something really over the top, you could do this in a racing stripe. It's called "Crazer.":



This stuff here is pretty basic, but has a nice "pop":
