I say silver Blackbird stripes, LOTB fender emblems, lower it a bit more, and possibly black out the spokes. It would like killer

BTW, what wheels are those?

Like this? I have this on my tail panel.

And used to have these on my hood.

I think all this will be badass.

you need one things, first and foremost.. a DROP! BMR looks good, or if you really want it slammed, sportlines. I love my setup with BMR/front, sportline/rear

it will COMPLETELY change the look of your car! guarantee it

once you do that, you'll find a whole new love for your rims, and the overall appearance of the car.

outside of that, for a simple touch to add to the car as it sits, I agree with the few who said silver blackbird stripes, which would flow well with the wheels and still be fairly clean and simple

but, just saw your post..

I like the sounds of this! will you be swapping out the rims for this scheme? not a huge fan of those wheels in black, the mesh style really shines with lighter colors, I wouldn't touch those things! I'd also say satin for the paint instead of flat. flat tends to fall more in the grey-ish area, more of a faded look, whereas satin has more depth to it, without all the gloss/shine. I think the satin is more similar to the finish of the vinyl too.

Oh, and carry the look out with the front as well, gotta black out the lights! Either spray them when you do the tails, or throw on the covers: http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...-blackout-kit/

ohh, and tint the f*@K out of it! lol windshield and all!

please no chrome extractor inserts...those are tacky as hell chromed or painted

do some subtle paint on the brake calipers with clean rotors, lower it, and maybe put the trans am badges back on

Car looks great the way it is -- needs to be lowered. Less is more, IMO. Stripes and stuff are kind of unnecessary.
