Default Appearance and Mod Suggestions for WS6

I have a red WS6 and I haven't done much to it other than install a custom set of FRC's. I want people to make suggestions on what sort of appearance mods would be best inside and out for a Red WS6. Thanks

Well what kinda budget do you have? New wheels always does a lot for a car. Do a search on the board to see other firebirds and maybe grab some ideas...

First thing I did was lower it and add wheels and tires. Gave it a whole different attitude.

Definetly pull the bodyside moldings off the T/A but I would leave the "TRANS AM " on the doors. Tint the windows and get some chrome/polished 17x9.5/17x11s with 275/315 hoops....I would go with Fikse or HRE if you can afford it, if not go with ZO6 rims in chrome! Lower it a little to give it a stance. If you don't want to spend a lot of cash on an exhaust then just get a cutout...I have a cutout on my 00 WS6 with it's completely stock exhaust and it sounds damn good!

I have an endless budget on wHat I can do to it but I don't want to do too much considering I could never get my money back out of it. I want to lower it but not sure wheater to go with eibach Prokit or eibach sportline springs. I am considering what rims to look best. I have heard a lot of people talk about removing the side moldings. Does this really make it look better? Does anyone have a pic of there WS6 w/ side moldings removed?
