well, new wheels obviously if you're looking for a great appearance mod. Ceta mod is good to. If you have an automatic you can work on the inside a little by buying an adapter and one of those firebird shift *****. Then that's probably as far as i would go with the appearance.

remember bro, sometimes less is more. Get an Lt1 ram air hood and do the ceta mod (honestly, do it with gloss black).
as for right now, take off your side molding. your car is gorgeous, dont mess that up!

Hood, wheels, ditch the front plate completely, please ditch the chain surround on the rear too, gloss black CETA, and be done. When you're running out of ideas that's probably a good thing, don't want to over do it.

CETA mod for sure. Then honestly, get some new wheels. Nothing against the stock 17x9 WS6's but there are a lot of aftermarket options that will make the car look a lot better. If oyu're going to get a Ram ait hood you should consider finding a LT1 Firehawk style. The LT1 WS6 hood looks good but it's over done. Overall, your car looks very nice as is, probably would look a lot nicer with aftermarket wheels.

Good looking car! I'd say, some different wheels, paint the door handles and TA emblems red. I'd probably stop there, but deleting side molding and a gloss black ceta would go good too.

I agree with ditching the LP but for some people its not so easy. Maybe in other areas of the US they will let you get away with putting the plate in the windshield. But here in Montana, Both State and Local Police (WILL) pull you over. First time is a warning, even if its in the window. Next time is an automatic ticket. No ifs and's or buts about it. So I had to put my front plate on. I hated it because I had to drill into my Comp Ta's front bumper to mount the bracket



Edit: First offense for no front LP here is 85$, 2nd is Minimum 175$ Maximum is 350$..ect..ect...I think after the 2nd offense they deduct 2 points off your DL for each new offense. Don't quote me on the exact fines. But I did get the 85$ one. Probably didn't help when I told the judge. "Ok ill drill into the front bumper of my RARE car to mount a front license plate. But when Montana passes legislation becoming a single plate state. I am going to bill the city, county and state for the repairs to my front bumper." I was ******* pissed, we are about to become a single plate state and they are pulling this bull ****. I almost told the judge and cop to go **** themselves.
