Default Pics heavy, UK WS6 ......

WS6 in the UK, enjoy.

(Wonder how many will post 'lose the wing? ).





































Much more planned.
Many thanks to: Emblem pros, Third shift studios, Brent Franker, Grant, and many more who have offered sound advise and recommendations along the way.
Car was a stock WS6 when I imported it back in 2004

You might want to black out your nostrils, and because you said it " Lose the wing". Looks nice otherwise.

Looks good. I think the ww stuff has it's place. Front yes, wing only looks good from certain angles.


I do like the "driving lights" under the headlight doors. Any info on that?
What do you have in the highs and lows?

I'm all for a call out, but 3 "Trans Am"s and 5 Bird logos under the hood alone, I'd personally scale it back a little. I'd keep the Bird on the lid and lose the ones on the strut towers. The "Trans Am" under the lid looks out of place IMO. Sharp car, but a little too busy in the sticker department.

And, you know what else to lose.

But on the positive I love the steel vents in the fenders/hood nostrils.

Where did you buy the car? It does not appear to be European spec.

How many Trans Ams are in the UK?

I ask that because your broadcasting too much, let the people in your country enjoy the lines and not force them to notice 3 dozen emlems.

Your car has potential but your over thinking the situation.

Thanks for the positve feedback guys.

I know what you mean about 'too busy' under the hood SweeTbone.
I've just yet to decide what too remove, I tend too agree with ya on the birds on the strut towers, and the TA under the lid.

LowBird, the leds under the headlight doors are my indicators and daytime running lights.
I had to add them for our SVA test, to make it comply with UK road law.
Stupidly, I couldn't use what was already there

I like the LED's under the head lights, also like the front lip.
Not a big fan of the second wing, but that is just me. Over all a really nice car.

I think it would pull everything thing together, even the wing, if you lowered the car.

I bought the car from Flushing Michigan, from Sovereign Autos, yep not Euro spec. I had to add amber indicators at the rear, a fog light, and side amber indicators too.
I guess there are probably only something like 20 - 40 LS1 TAs in the UK.
I plan to lower with Konis & perch mod, mabey springs too.
