Default "Phoenix Rising" my pewter 02 WS6
Here is my pride and joy:

My pewter 02 Trans Am WS6. Bought the car bone stock. Started off doing the Ceta mod, added some Blackbird stripes, tinted the tails and side markes and added some Last of the Breed badges. The topping on the cake is the Fikse Profil 5 wheels. 18x10 up front and 18x12 in the rear. Next on the agenda is to lower the beast. Hope you enjoy.

Nice looking T/A. What springs/shocks are you planning to use when you lower it?

I think I like the 17" fikses better. But it will probably look much better when it's lowered down on top of them. Car does look pretty good tho.

Lets see some other pics!

Definitely lower it next, it makes all the difference. Heres my car on Koni's and Stranos with 17" FM5's 17x9.5 front and 11s in the rear on 315's.

Not a fan of the Corvette offset but it looks great! I have a set of 18" FM5's on the way! I hope I dont regret getting 18's instead of the 17's

Looks good but I would take the stripes off the hood and put some clear on your tail lights. IMO

Thank you. Yeah, once it's lowered it will look like a totally different car.

Pretty strapped for cash, so will likely just put lowering springs on. What would you recommend?

You won't regret it. There are only a handfull of people on here running 18 inch Fikse wheels.

Good idea about putting clear on the tail lights, but I really love the Black Bird stripes.
