Default What else can I do for my car?

My appearance mods:

EXTERIOR:

G2 springs
black painted calipers
TRANS AM caliper decals
removed side badging
black decals over all stock lettering
LT1 Formula rear centerpiece
clear license plate cover with chrome caps
chrome lugnuts
custom valve stem covers and centercaps
tinted windows
new exhaust tips

INTERIOR:

embroidered headrests
embroidered floormats
ZBaron silver SRS and airbag Pontiac symbol inserts
HPA WS.6 pedals
HPA silver gauge covers
??thinking of some kind of quality dash kit???

ENGINE BAY:

not even started good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
removed all underhood stickers

plan for under the hood:

polished aluminum Hotchkis STB
remove AIR tubes
high polished aluminum caps and covers everywhere
custom FRCs
battery cover
polish all metal
paint (black) or chrome all visible bolts
have miscellaneous parts chromed/painted
???underhood mirrors for show???

Anything else? I think my exterior is pretty good to go. My interior is very close. And, like I said, I haven't gotten started on my engine area yet. Thanks a lot for any help. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

That's the beauty of powdercoating. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Just shot you an email about some powdercoating. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Also, I don't want a body kit, blackouts, different colored lights, or anything like that. I do have blackouts on my fog lenses with a firechicken on them for shows. I want to keep my stock wheels until I can afford a set of Fikse Mags (far, far future). Any other ideas?

Look awesome. How heavy are they compared to the stock ones? Could you tell any difference as far as driving between those and the stock wheels? Thats one thing I like about the Fikses is the weight and the awesome looks.
