thanks guys. windows are tinted. i wanted to take those side moldings or w/e they are that run along the car. but i'm afraid if i take those off i will get a door dent maybe. i am careful where i park but you just never know. anyone had a problem taking them off and then getitng a dent??
VHTing the tailight is a go since my one tailight has water on it.maybe i can get it all out and re glue the whole thing find the crack or somethign..

car does look great, as is, with the drop and rims
There really isnt much you can do, with a dark paint, like yours, and it being really noticeable.
If it were mine, I'de just debadge it, remove side trim, maybe different exhaust tips or a firehawk styled hood.
BTW, what kinda drop you got?

I got my side trim off with no problem. Take some fishing line and start at one end and kinda slide it under the trim. Go slow and pull the trim a little at a time. Get some goo-gone and clean up the sticky stuff left behind. when I took mine off there was alot of sticky stuff left so I sprayed it down with water an kinda rolled it off with my thumb. Your thumbs will be killing you by the time your done, but its worth it IMO.

Easiest way to get it off, is heating it up with a hair dryer or heat gun. Alot of times, when you peel it off that way, it will leave little tape behind....just a dirt and residue outline of the tape.
It also keeps the scratches down with that method, compared to using strings and creditcards/scrapers.

Its your car but I like it how it looks. I wouldn't debadge or take the trim off. Hood looks great and so does the wheels and stance. I can't find anything I would change but maybe the tails but even that is not a life or death change. Whataver you do with it i'm sure will be great but it looks good already

If the rear window is already tinted, you should get it darker....I don't like the silver TRANSAM on the door at all...other than moulding[which I like on my car]..and badges..looks good...[thanx for the great pics..better than mine while runnin' down the road]..

i think i'm gonna debadge it. the white lettering the the trans am symble is starting to chip off and the door trim is a lil wavy up and down from something falling on it at one time and putting stress on it. if it doesnt look good i'll put it back on!
