One year later...my appearance thread
Thanks all! I am keeping the rims, I'm sure at some point I'll want to throw them back on, as I really like them. Who knows, I might want to revert back to a mostly stock look.

I like it, lets talk about the plastidip ceta mod: I have 2 cans and have been meaning to do mine, what special prep did you do and how many coats? Holding up ok?

I clay bar'd the area, wiped it down, taped it off and sprayed 2 thick coats. You have to move sorta quick otherwise the first layer will cure and want to pull up with the tape. Piece of cake. And if you have any over spray, just rub it off. It has held up great.
Looks good! I think the only thing it really needs to complete the look is for it to be lowered. That'll make the wheels look so much better also. Even lowering the car with stock ws6 wheels makes everything look better.
You should do the front bird on the license plate cover in blue!

I agree that doing the plate cover, "pontiac" on the back, and the words on the doors would look awesome and break it up.
It looks awesome white but I think it COULD (I'd have to see it) look even better if you painted your mirrors and sail panel black, and since you're familiar with plastidip you can do it temporarily just to get a feel for what it looks like!

Here is a photoshop I did of what I want the car to look like lowered. Maybe wishful thinking (esp. in the rear) but we'll see. Gives me some motivation to save up for it and figure it out.

Looks Great!! All of your mods have complimented the car. Some good suggestions posted here! Personally, I'd acsent the PONTIAC on the rear, remove the Trans Am from the sides (possibly replace with the blue WS-6 badges) and do the overlay on the front firebird plate, in blue of course and last of all DON'T touch those wheels!!! You're absolutely right, they're popular for a reason!! But then what do I know, I'm just a Camaro guy!!!!!!!! Good Luck, Larry.
I've been messing around and made some flat caps for the wheels, you can see them here on the rear. Thoughts? I have a few more ideas that I'm working on with these as well, hopefully I'll have them done soon...
