Looks good the only other thing I would do is add a head plaque and polish the A/C Canister that's it.

I do plan on putting on a head plate and after I took the pictures I polished the A/C can and put a decal on top of it.

Thanks for all the positive feedback

Same questions as FormulaFire

If you did clear them did you clear over the decal?

Default Head Plate

If you are going to put on a head plate from MBA, I have a black one with "Trans Am" on it that was never taken out of the plastic that it came in from MBA. If you are interested, PM me, and I'm sure we can work a deal. I've had it just sitting here for 2 years.

Yes I did clear coat the calipers, I did not take the calipers completely off but I did it with to stock rotors on so I was able to spray the crap out of them without tapping off everything around them. I purchased the decals from a guy on E-bay ( I do not remember who he was). The FRC's were also from E-Bay and when I find his name I can PM you. Thanks for the compliments.
