Interior/exterior appearance mods Looking to do some mods to my car to get her started and im leaning towards the visual aspect of mods. Interior and exterior noticeable but now to much and maybe a lil performance mods... Make it my own ya know. But i was wandering if there were any spacific sites out there just for trans am's, ws6 to be really spacific. Help me out ideas are welcome for altercations.
Well I don't wanna fight, but I'll give you a few ideas for alterations! Removing that ugly strip on the doors, Mirror stainless hood and fender vents, dark tint tails, shave antenna and bumper side lights, Black mirrors and sail panel, corsa clone tail pipes, in dash PC computer, wire mod in engine bay, repaint engine bay, relocate battery to rear, re-do door panels, paint or polish brake calipers. LOTS more!

without being critized ignorantly , i say
get atleast a 2DIN headunit and bezel , door panels , seats , new speedo overlays etc for the interior.. maybe a splitter/rear diffuser outside , HID's etc.
+1 on the painted brake calipers and stuff like shaving the antenna..

Putting together the right engine to run x.xx in the quarter mile is a science and there are specific ways to go about it. Appearance is an art. Find your own voice by studying what you like and don't about others' cars. That will give you a car that is really your own. Lists of what people think will do very little for you. Ask us, and you will get a car that we like. Searching for yourself, and you can get your own car.

Then do what everyone else has done, look through this section. It will take you hours and hours to find what you want, but you will.
And...
I'm not usually one to be a complete dick, but I'll make an exception:
WS6 specific?
Its just a damned hood as far as appearance!

"critized ignorantly". If you are talking about my post, I was nearly joking with the typo. I'm not the one to suggest a lawyer proof read one's postings for spelling, grammar and political correctness.
To the OP, try cardomain and search Trans Am or Firebird and see some of the cars that come up. Some of those should give you a few ideas!

off the top of the dome, some sites you'll want to look into for exterior/interior appearance mods:
- www.WS6store.com
- www.afterthoughtsauto.com
- www.Emblempros.com (emblems/badges/engine bay)
- www.Yofab.com
- www.SpecializedStainless.com
- www.LMPerformance.com
- www.6LiterEaterDesigns.com
- www.Redlinegoods.com (interior)
- www.HawksThirdGenParts.com
- www.OEWheelsLLC.com (corvette replica rims)
- www.fourthcircledesigns.com (stripes/decals)
- www.camarographics.com aka www.3rdgendecals.com (stripes/decals)
- www.autografics.com (stripes/decals)
some typical/simple mods:
-painted calipers
-remove molding on doors/fenders
-debadge "trasn am" on doors, or get overlays for them
-overlays for front license bird, fill-ins for rear "pontiac" letters
-lowering springs
-rims
-blackbird stripes, or ram-air stripes
-ceta mod (do a search if you dont what it is)
-fixed shorty antenna, if your motor one has issues
-tint
-depending on the color of your car, swap front turn signals from amber to red ones (from camaro)
-nice exhaust tips, corsa clones are very popular for t/a's
-my one personal suggestion i feel all t/a's should do: tinted reverse lights. get rid of the out of place bug eyes!
just some basics to think about. i won't get into specifics, thats for you to decide. but these suggestions should help you out a bit. like mentioned above, cardomain is an excellent place to look around and see what others have done, and figure out what you like/dislike. Just for the hell of it, I'd suggest browsing through all of those sites inventories to see what they have to offer, especially since many similar things are sold at multiple places, sometimes with slight or no differences, but prices will vary, so it's good to compare
okay, i'm done for the night. have fun with your car
