On ANY F-body some color contrast is good. Black would look good with that color. Black mirrors don't look good on Camaros IMO because they seem to flow with the fenders...but it looks GREAT on a Trans Am! I'm assuming it's that T/A in your sig that's getting paint so my suggestions are this: Black mirrors and sail panel, black CETA rear bumper, Black underside of spoiler and black stripes on top of the hood. Then paint the Chicken on the front plate cover black along with the Trans Am door emblems. Have fun with the painting!

Dont forget to remove the spoiler to get the underside. Also, pull those black plastic triangles from behind the windows. I'm pretty sure you already knew, but some people overlook stuff like those! Looks like it's going great! The color looks awesome and it'll look even better with the black stuff I suggested...will give it a bit of a break up since it's such and intense color. Awesome looking choice!
I love this picture. I also am going to do the ceta mod in a gloss black. I have GMMG exhaust as well and it looks killer from behind the car. I pland on getting a new Rim tire set up real soon here to go with the new paint job and give it a better stance and some fat meats in the rear!

Those pieces are held on with foam double-sided tape. Just use a butter knife or a small metal scraper to get em off.
Some C6 ZO6 rims are easy to find and if you get them in the Vette measurements, the rears a 12" wide! I'm running a set of those and my rear tire is a 325/30R19 and looks SO fat from the rear! Requires a LOT of work in the wheel well to get em to fit though. I recommend a mini-tub but it can work if you do a little cutting and a LOT of hammering.

thats a bad *** color, green is my favorite color anyways, in alot of different shades. I say if you do a black sail, you have to tint all the windows pretty dark to let it all flow together, but thats just me

Haha funny thing is, we sealed up the doors pretty good but somehow overspray finds its way everywhere and got on the tint so instead of wasting my time getting it off somehow im just going to tint it darker! the hatch and ttops are already real dark though.

That is EXACTLY what I Am doing....I think I may do the blk roof, sail, and mirrors tho. I even thought of doing the top of the spoiler lid in black & the underside in the SSG....
Guess that's a good thing though
