i cant find that many pics of them...
Looking to decide in which direction to go appearance wise. Open to ideas. I would like to leave the hood as is... for now
Wheels: Considering gunmetal z06's, chrome tt2's or even ws6 wheels... That is my "budget" choice selection so far...
Suspension: 1.5 inch lowering springs
Thanx, and post em up!!!
Here is my bone stock (yea i know, previous owner friggin drilled a license plate on the front cover
I fixed that already...)

Wheels you should consider black Z06's w/ chrome lips or black ZR1's with chrome lips. Then add some black overlay decals to the Trans Am badges. If your taillight center section is just the usual worn out red then I'd either sand the faded lettering off and polish or sand down and add a pewter bird & TA lettering decal overlay. Get some clear front side marker lenses. Then finish the appearance off with doing the CETA rear bumper mod.

Got rid of the sleek beak but gunmetal or anthocite in my opinion look really good on peweter cars. Ruff Racing 278's and lowered posting for an idea on wheels, in the first pic can't really see the hood if it gives you idea

that and that link on those aren't even the right bolt pattern... plus if it was me i would not buy wheels that are able to fit another bolt pattern too cause thats looks like a hole... i do agree though those wheels look good but if it was me i would want DD in the back...

I just followed this write up
https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...highlight=ceta
and for I'm not a big fan of that first one either.....The one stripe all the way back just looks odd to me....but whatever you like!
