Eventually I might grow tired of the blue, but I like the look now. It really gets attention at the show and shines, and I hope that I run into a '69 some day for a nice photo op.

2013 update. Installed Bilstein/BMR combo this weekend, that takes care of the stance. Also added/removed so far this year...
Emblem Pros custom side pillar birds (light blue/navy blue)
Trans Am door lettering delete
Clear side marker lamps
New DRL/parking lamps
The smaller parts of my blackbird stripes were starting to peel, so I just took them off. Trying to find a good light metallic blue pinstripe to replace them with, wanting the stripes to look 2-color like 30th anniversary stripes. The only other thing I have left to do is the blue WS-6 badge and I'll be pretty much done with appearance! Pics...

Looks a lot like mine! I'm still debating blackbird stripes...

Once those springs settle it will look great. If I were you I'd do the heater hose mod in the rear. I have the same wheels and springs and yours will look even better if its a tad lower in the back.

I'm a little reluctant to heater hose mod it right now since it is pretty dialed in. 26.4" up front, 27" in the back and those dimensions are true for both sides. I like a little bit of a rake.

Looks great The drivers side headlight looks like it could use some adjusting to match the other side.

Yes, it lines up great on the hood, but it is a little out of whack on the nose. I figured that lining it up with the hood is better than the nose, since it most noticeable at the angle in the photo. I might adjust it more though.
