Default My TAs transformation

Well started out as this



A mostly stock 00 Trans Am with 130k miles on it with Tan interior and here is what it looks like now





It also has charcoal interior as well. It needs detailed inside and out. I also have the front center caps, but didnt get done till 130am and after pulling and putting the wheels for grinding the calipers, I was too tired to take them back off to put the center caps on. Today I will put them on once I detail it.

What you guys think?

Damn I have the exact same exhaust system on mine too. Put some tint on and do the CETA mod next if you haven't already done that.

You and I think alike. I just got done having the same style strips put on my ws9 hood and when I get more money to spend I was going to put the black on my back bumper just like that but I'm also going to do the wing too. Only my car is pewter.

With the big and littles it still left alot on the table as far as looks. Once the strange shocks and coilovers went on. It took it over the top and finally gave it the look.
