Default Many appearance mods done, more suggestions needed.(PICS)

Finally put some pics on the web, let me know what you guys think and what I could do to improve on some of the things.
Stuff I did since I bought the car (bone stock)
http://www.cardomain.com/id/ls199redta

1. VFN hood (good quality, make sure to pick a good body shop)
2. Powdercoated Wheels to look like the 35th Anv wheels)
3. Painted all emblems black (Paint enamel pen $4 )
4. Fuel Rail covers withe Trans Am decal and LS1 emblem
5. Battery Cover
6. Screaming chicken on the head rests
7. Tint (don't know what %, but I liked the look)
8. Eibach Sportlines (Best thing I ever did to my car)
9. Flomaster w/ 3" Magnaflow tips
10. Sound system (pics are in Webshots, not on cardomain yet)
11. Painted Calipers (front only, rears will be done soon)
.
Soon to come:
1. Key lock accent covers with the pontiac arrowheads
2. Fuse box and PCM covers


Comments and suggestions are most welcome

Delete the side moldings

Maybe clear front side markers from afterthoughts

get two more WS6 wheels and have your back ones widened to 11". Sportlines and factory wheels in the rear can be an eyesore cuz of the Pontiac fat ***, but the car is rad overall. Don't see too many black wheels on red cars but that works. Good job.

VERY nice. I agree with the side moulding removal, but not the clear corners. 315's in the back would look terrific.

Thanks guys, yeah i was thinking of the side molding, might do it soon.
McTullis: Is it possible to widen a whel that much and who does it n what does it cost for something like that? that would be great.

The wheels don't look like 17s. You should get some 17" WS6 wheels and then widen them.
