New Wheels Just got these this week and was able to wash her and snap a few.
I already know I need to lower it. The wheels were my first big mod. I'm still trying to save for exhaust and then hopefully I'll be able to lower it.
Other than that I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks and enjoy

Probably do the side moldings and I definitely want a WS6 hood. I don't think I'm going to do a spoiler swap though. I don't think the Trans Am spoiler looks good on the Formula bumper, if I put it on I'd want to swap out the bumper for the Trans Am one too.
Next is exhaust and then lower it by Christmas... hopefully

Wheels look great man, exhaust would be a nice upgrade. I personally like the Magnaflow setups. Marylandspeed.com has the Magnaflow Catback for $384 shipped. I'm not sure about the sound of the TSP rumbler but either way new exhaust is always nice.

Thanks Nine Ball, awesome rides you have by the way 
Magnaflow is too quiet for me. The best way I can describe the Rumbler is a it's like a cut-out without the rasp

Sweet! What size you got in the back there? Looks like a deeper dish on the lip on the back.
As far as lowering? I think your front height looks fine. If I had mine to do over, I wouldnt have lowered it. I would have just done the hose mod out back and been done. Thats a super super cheap fix and then you can spend the money on something go-fast
I just ordered these wheels for my 99 Z last week

I was parked on a inclined driveway so that's why he front looks a little lowered compared to the back. I still want to lower it though. Won't have that much planned after suspension and a few bolt-ons since she's my daily driver and I can't even get headers cause of the CA smog ****'s
You'll love these. I don't see how they won't make any car look 100x better

Actually, I hadnt noticed the driveway! 
lol
Was just looking at your fender gap in the front which looks perfect to me. Match that in the rear and IMO the stance would be perfect.
I can understand the desire to drop it though! Ive been lowered for more than 2 years now and a lot of people gave me the list of reasons why I would hate it and be raising it back up not long afterwards. Still holding out on bringing it back up a little but I think about it a lot more nowadays! I tolerate the drawbacks because it does look so good
Then again, I run longtubes and a 3" exhaust system. The 2 dont exactly go hand in hand!
Looking good... enjoy it
