You could do an HID setup. Looks better and can see better at night.

Those rims HAVE to go ASAP!

I think some gray Z06 wheels would look great on it (the same wheels I have on my Z28). They look great on red, especially in your case since they would match your stripes.

Then after rims, I'd lower it

Im sorry im just not a fan of TA spoilers on non TA cars. Its like im always looking for the rest of the pieces that should belong with the setup.

I say keep the car like it is.. Lower it, !molding and !side badges. Darker Tint. and some wheels.

Get a front plate cover and put that plate in the dash or something. Really cleans it up.

Nix the stripes.. and do a blackbird stripe and get an emblempro's package deal with a front bird, rear pontiac fill in, and door overlay in whatever color you decide (silver or black if it were mine)..

Dual exit tips
Diff. wheels
Lower

Ummm... Trans-Am spoiler... Spoiler has to go?!? What am I missing here? Looks like a stock Firebird/Formula spoiler to me...

Anyways, yes, the rims are hideous. TTIIs are pretty over done BUT they are over done for a reason, they look good and are cheap.

If you are keeping the stripes I'd say get TTIIs with the spokes painted a silver (to match the stripes). Ditch the side molding and Formula wording (or at least take the white overlay off of it).

Get some Corsa Clone tips, paint the part around the license plate satin black and call it a day

Well, after you add a splitter

If it was in my garage... I'd pull off the stripes, get some 18" or 19" rims, lower it, get new exhaust tips (oval or dual tips), paint the top black, remove the side molding, remove the formula emblem, paint the center piece between the tail lights black, tint the front parking lights and probably the fog lights too and tint the side markers. Most of that is pretty cheap too...

Hmm..

New wheels ASAP
Lower it
Take off side molding
Take off those ram air stripes and get blackbird stripes instead.. Umm..
Tint the windows
Either black or stainless PONTIAC fill in.
Either corsa clone dual tips or Pypes ovals...
Maybe a TA hatch and TA bumper (I know those are expensive, consider those low priority).

Definitely wheels, lower, and tint first.
