Re: What's a girl to do? I second the vote on making your car look like McTullis's car.
I think MTI sells Fikse wheels now too. Mucho$$ but some of the best.
You said you upgrade to a Hurst Shifter. If it is the Hurst Shifter for the dealer the one that comes in the WS6 like mine it is still a piece of crap. I would suggest either a B&M Ripper or the Pro 5.0. I love my ripper. Lots of poeple like the Pro 5.0 b/c you can put Lou's short stick on it for even shorter throws.
BTW gets lots of Zaino!
If you lower be sure to gets new shocks, like some re-valved Bilstiens that are adjust for the lower ride height. Great choice of cars.

Also does anyone know where you can get the big bird decal(aka seventies TA)for the hood. I have seen them on a few fourth gens and I think they look very cool.

Re: What's a girl to do? Paint is bright silver Duplicolor and Duplicolor clear coat over it. Comes in a can from any autoparts store. I got the taillamp filler off of a wrecked Collector Edition T/A for $20. It's usually about $75 from a dealership, keep an eye on Speedautomotive.com for a wrecked car coming in. And as far as rims go, look into a set of Z06 wheels. Chrome or the anthrocite color would both look killer on there and would only cost around $1k for a set of 18s. Good deals come along all the time. Just get a lid, maf, short-throw shifter, lowering springs, wheels, and a catback exhaust and you'll turn all the heads in Texas. If you do exhaust, i highly reccomend the SLP Loudmouth for a near-stock car. It sounds bad ***. Oh, and i love you.

Re: What's a girl to do? J'yme,
Just about anything you could need or want for your car can be found by browsing the different links convieniently located on the right side of this page. Just take your time and do it right. Look through the pages and buy what you like. These guys have provided some good ideas for you, and like I said, you can find them all by clicking on some of the sponsor links. Good luck, and happy modding.
P.S. I'm sorry, but I have to say that you and that car make an AWESOME combo. I wish there were more hot chicks with hot cars around here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
P.S.S. I'm 22, descent looking, make descent money, and I drive a fast car. What more could you want in a guy? J/K <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
What can I say. I'm just a guy. I just HAD to make a comment like that. It's in our handbook.

Re: What's a girl to do? I still love Trahn's car... it was my wallpaper about 6 months ago. I think it has just the right amount of bling <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I'd post a new pic of my Z, but she's without an engine right now, and it just wouldn't be a pretty pic <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: What's a girl to do? I was going to recommend a body kit, but I don't think she needs to alter her body in anyway!! Lowering springs and wheels to start! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: What's a girl to do? Thanks guys, I can't believe this post is still alive. I just keep getting responses, you all are full of idea's. Good news is that I finally have a really good idea about what transformation my TA is about to take.
I am starting with putting on a few exterior mods I ordered a few days ago.....then I'll move on to the performance mods.....this is so much fun, costly....but fun! What a total adrenaline rush just thinking about the power I'll have in my fingertips! Whatch out!
I look forward to keeping you all posted with pics, etc. Think sleek, think sexy, think POWERFUL...... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Thanks for everything!
