Default New mods, new pics

Well I finally upgraded my 1mp camera to a 5mp and figured Id show off my new modifications...

1. clear corners, looks much better than the orange.
2. side moldings removed for a cleaner look
3. black Z06 wheels ofcourse, 17x9.5/18x10.5
4. 3" outlet dual dual exhaust tips
5. blacked out rear filler panel
6. LS WON vanity plate

Im dropping my car off to the body shop to get my WS9 Outlaw hood painted and installed. After that its all about saving for FI.

Looks great, I'd suggest while at the body shop...Have them paint the lower facia around the exhaust tips black to match your theme.

I think it would look awesome

I really wanted to do that with gloss black, but If its more than $100 Ill probably pass. The hood is gonna cost a bit since they have to blend it in the fenders and stuff and Im running low on cash...

I worked at a body shop... cost $12 for materials to paint the lower part of the bumper. Not sure what they would have charged a normal person, but it shouldnt be too expencive either way. I love mine. The color is a semi-gloss we found in a GM paint book. To me, getting this done is a must

IMO, id go black accents all around.... the bird on the front, pontiac letters on the headlight, id say the Trans Am decals, but i see you removed them, and defintely the PONTIAC on the back. The rims would bring out the black accents in a great way. Im biased though b/c i have all of this done to mine, w/ the exception of the black rims, but they are coming.... o yes, they are coming. cardomain - dansbrd


BTW, i wasnt tryin to make it sound like i was tellin you what to do w/ your car... it looks great just the way it is. i love the rims too

Looks clean and smooth...I agree that the lower facia would look sweet in gloss black.

I appreciate everyones compliments and opinions.

I have to tell you guys I hate decals though!!! I actually like the clean look of
a debaged F-body.

I almost forgot, I am going to paint my calipers eventually for some added bling. Ill probably go red to match the taillights and give the car more color.
