Nice ride! I think you ran out of places to put Trans Am, though.

Seriously, very clean/nice ride.

Honestly, I'd take off the LS1 badge on the fenders, other than that it's pretty cool. I don't think I'd put the bird on my hood or B-pillars, but it's cool to see them on yours. Oh yeah, and two A/F guages or what are they?

Nice car.... I agree though, the word "Trans Am" seems to be everywhere!
I think you pretty much covered all of the places, to where that would go.
You're like me. We both need to lower our 4x4's... I see ALOT of fender gap.
Clean car! and WELCOME to the site!

i like the silver interior pieces, and the trans am on the door panels is kinda nice too. Not big on the TA on the rearview mirrow though. keep up the good work.

I appreciate everyones comments. As far as T/a being everywhere it's only on the doors and the rearview, on the doors can be ripped off but i'm stuck with it on the mirror since it's etched in. I used the factory emblems in pewter that come on the outside of the door for the interior so it's not a sticker, gives it a cool 3d effect. Important thing is I like it.

Thanks man I'm a big fan of painting interior if it is done right and not to much or huge pieces. I used alum. paint so it really looks like metal

Lose the bird on the hood and lower it. Everything else is fantastic.
