Why the low-rise hatch?
Why does your rear bumper have a hole in it? Curious how it'll look with the PONTIAC filled/smoothed.

I am all about doing what you want with your own car....I am not a fan myself of that color and I think the reason the c6z and aston martin pull it off is because they are somewhat exotic looking.

yup, shutoff switch. And the trans am hatchs always looked a little rice to me because of the giant wing. Never was much of a fan.

I think it looks sweet, although I think the T/A front end / Firebird rear is gonna look a little bizarre... especially considering that you also got rid of the T/A spoiler. I woulda just gone full on and done the Firebird front fascia, too.

I've seen the car in person in all black, it doesn't look bizarre.

I saw bunch of Ford vehicles at SEMA 2012 in a few matte finishes. So far the color looks fantastic!

Please post the finish product!!!

only pointless if you dont care about how it looks...

I'll take this right here: a dumped exhaust setup, that still looks great with nice tips out back. not only does it still look good, the tips will never get nearly as dirty as with a normal setup.

I'll take the better looking "gay" setup thank you

1) run the tips out the back (can cost hundreds more for over the axle, out the back) or
2) swap to the formula rear (will cost hundreds more to buy the hatch and bumper and have them painted to match).
--Compared to $60-70 to buy the brackets to run the dummy tips, or even cheaper if you make your own. So it's definitely the most cost-effective option.... But whatever the case, i'd never run the t/a bumper without tips.
