Get rid of the "Trans Am" on the side, or make it silver? Okay, now that I finally have a "looker" I need to make sure I do tasteful changes. What's the best thing to do with the "Trans Am" written on the side of the car? I haven't had a chance to take any good pics yet, but here's a quick snap of the car. Any opinions/pics would be great

I would either keep it as-is (body color) or remove it
your car is VERY clean looking the way it is, and the silver would just stick out too much.....btw damn good choice of rims and stance
less is more, my friend

good luck...
i'd go with black and paint the lower peice of your rear bumper cover black too!t/a's look hot like that! i love my car black, but sometimes i wish it were red so i could do that, and put black stripes on the side of the cowl(ws6). if not that then i'd remove them, but either way you go your still gonna have a nice lookin' car!

Thanks for the compliments oxyxxxtreme and 12stones! I think it's time to do some photoshop work, and see what it would like like either way. I'm kind of mixed on removing the side molding. It looks really clean, but doesn't quite fit in with the lines of the car? Bah, I don't know.

Just removed my moldings on my ws6. All I gotta say is, DO IT. Drove it to work today and a bunch of guys took a look at it and gave me their opinion over lunch. Every single person said the moldings off looked way better. I'm keeping the door emblems and swapping em for black, I just can't go as far as removing those, I love the idea of keeping it subtle though and I think along with other black accents on the car it will flow pretty nice and still not be flashy. Removing the emblems doesn't look bad, don't get me wrong, it really looks nice, just not how I want mine.
I took mine off today, and the side molding after this thread. It looks fantastic, VERY clean looking. I vote you remove them; I had black TRANSAM on a pewter car for 4 years. I like it much better now. FWIW.
