It came out really nice actually, unfortunately I never got any good pics before what happened with the car. I think I may have some pics saved on the computer from my old iphone, I'll have to look and see.

some of the things redone:

- Retint all around:
.........35% on the windshield
.........5% on the hatch, with black vinyl over the dot matrix area at the top
.........double 35% on the sides = ~12%
- Black wingtips on the spoiler, from 4th circle
- "Trans Am" license plate frame from emblempros (custom made without the two lower bolt holes. Thanks Roger!)
- New carbon fiber shorty antenna. got it on ebay
- Custom decals on rear center panel. Courtesy of board member jlincks
- powdercoated my wheels all black (used to have "machined" lip), also moved up from 18x8.5 all the way around, to 10.5" deep dish in the rear
- New tires all around. Hankook 245/40 up front, 295/35 Bridgstone Potenzas out back
- Custom wheel adapters all the way around, 15mm in the rear, 27mm up front. Ordered from www.motorsport-tech.com
- Feneders rolled in the rear. Fender lips cut out in the front
- 6LE splitter reinstalled, wrapped in 3M carbin fiber vinyl (unfortunately you can't really see it in the pics, I'll post more soon)

interior (pics to come soon)
- A4 shifter adapter, with new shift ball (with firebird logo). Shaft also shortened
- A4 shift boot from Grand Prix

-also just recently finished up my engine bay project: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...ngine-bay.html just need to repaint the lower air box piece black


Very soon to-do list:
- got my Eibach Sportlines ready to go on in the rear, which should drop it another half-inch (advertised 1.8" drop, compared to BMR's 1.25" drop)
- wider bumper mod: https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...ning-pics.html
- re-do tail lights, since the left side is waayy darker: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...ail-light.html
- re-paint calipers red, and add "Trans Am" decals
- strip VHT tint from front lights and get these instead: http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...-blackout-kit/ dont like the way the lights look when using VHT
- gotta get back to work on the targa top... it's been pissing me off to no end
















Trans Am goals

Gorgeous car. Every time I see your posts it makes me want to hurry up and finish my car up! I'm still in the engine swap phase and am nowhere near the re-paint and appearance mods phase yet...

Talk about a thread from the past... If I remember correctly this car got stolen and stripped. Still one of the nicest TA on the forum.
