Default My rear end make over

Seeing that Mr. Nineball posted some nice pics of his HOSS makeover, I thought I'd start a similar thread to show how mine has progressed over the past 3 years of owning my car

Stock, in 4x4 configuration:



Last year, with stainless CAMARO inserts and crooked CME tips :



And finally, last weekend, with SLP emblem, license plate cover, power antenna (which made a HUGE difference to me), and chrome SS and bowtie emblems. And yes, people still ask whether my car is a V8 or a V6, even with the smart *** license plate CME tips are also now tied into custom true duals, and although you can't really tell, they are painted black inside and out except for the silver lips on them. They're now straight too



And to finish it all off, I went with the Silver/Black SS emblems on the side too:



It was a long process, but worth it to me...

Thanks man...it makes me sad when I see these cars and they aren't taken care of. I get a lot of people coming up to me randomly telling me that I have a nice car...they usually see me somewhere going the other way or something. Makes it all worth it to me.

I went with the kit through RK sport and I was very happy, or you can just get one from GM that was made for the Trans Am. Plenty of good writeups on how to install...since I have an aftermarket head unit, it was a breeze to install. Just had to figure out which wires were what.
