Talking new pics of my snake skin green ws6

well its been a long time coming....i only had a few pics of it and none of them did the ws6 any justice. i wanted to get pics before flames are added. some of you may remember i started a poll / thread to help pick out the paint scheme. im about 80% sure im gonna do it....if i didnt have the blemishes on the hood i would be even more torn cause it looks great the way it is. i got about a week to make up my mind so there is still time to vote.

heres the link: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...bird-poll.html

i picked out a spot by the lake i thought would be kinda cool & different. got the docks on one side and a rock wall / cliff on the other. i climbed the wall to take pics of the top. took several angles with t-tops on & off. im by no means a photographer so maybe you guys can tell me what you think + some tips. btw - i didnt clean the interior...sorry!

Honestly what I would do with this car is add the mirror stainless nose grilles and side inserts from emblempros, then maybe blackbirds stripes (in silver, or even white). Flames are too mullet for me.

the blackbird stripes in black would look badass. and also black inserts for the PONTIAC in between the tailights. maybe even a black ws.6 badge? sorry, i like black on cars way to much. lol

Looks good! I have to disagree on adding stuff too it though. I'd keep it tonal like GM did them....it's part of what makes them great-looking cars.

The car looks great man. I personally wouldn't put flames on it. Maybe some black stripes on the hood or something along those lines. Other than that, I would save the money for interior, cosmetic engine bay, or performance mods.

If you insist on getting flames, however, go with green. Hopefully I'll see you at a show sometime, it would be interesting to have two unique color TAs parked next to each other.

the main reason im considering the flames is to conceal some imperfections from when the car was painted. before it was cured properly the previous owner was driving behind a vehicle leaking some kind of fluid. it left alot "raindrop" streaks on the hood. flames would be the best to cover them up cause they are so random.

That sucks, I've always been afraid of seeing another T/A with the same yellow as mine, I enjoy being a unique color. Tell all those damn copycats to go find their own green.

Nice Viper man always loved those cars Just messing with you. Car is sexy as hell. Dont get flames it will ruin it unless you get those ones that depending on the way the sun hits it, it stands out.
