Another Before and After

I just finished the transformation of my TA. I replaced the hood with a factory WS6 hood and had it painted white. I had the stripes painted Corvette Electron Blue Metallic and under the clear coat. I lowered the car with a set of Eibach Pro Kit spring and Bilstein HD shocks from Sam Strano (Thanks Sam). I added HP Racing “New Lightning” wheels 19x9.5, with Goodyear Eagle GS-D3 275x30x19. This is a totally different car!! I though you might like to see.

Thanks for the comments. The EB stripes don't show up in the attached picture as this was taken at sunset. They look sooo much better in the sun!

Looks nice, ...,

Now clean it up one more notch & remove the "Trans Am" door badge!
And clear corners might help also!

Almost "sterile" looking then, ...

holy crap that looks beautiful. i think the "trans am" on the side would look good in the same color blue that the stripes are in.
