Default Red TA appearance sugestions. What would YOU do?

I'm picking up a red 2000 Trans Am. It is pretty much stock outside of a harwood ws6 hood and some wheels that must be replaced as they are 18x7. (Not going to spend 3k for some) I'm open to ideas as I've never owned a red car before. I do know that Im going to demold/debadge it since I hate that. Obviously I'll lower it as well. I'm open to other ideas. Go for it ls1tech, I'd love to hear what YOU would do.

The car in question:

That car does look pretty good. Does anyone know if they offer those machined face c6 z's in deep dish?

Thats been my basic plan.

What wheels? I won't have a huge budget for this car.

Agree and I would say remove the bird on the filler panel between the tail lights. I think that would look great with the CETA. Just my opinion though.

I forgot about that bird. It has to go. I don't need the car to say Trans Am or have a bird on it anywhere. If you don't know what kind of car it is, then tough luck.

Unfortunately they aren't very wide. They are sporting a 225 tire and it makes the car drive like poo.

Pics of the blak C6 wheels on a red TA would be appreciated. I know what the C5's look on it. A buddy had some on his red ws6 a few years back.
