Default pics of my new bird

well hers a few pics i posted yesterday some somewhat dirty lics of it due to rain after a fresh wash earlier in the day, well, i manage to get a camera from the guy next door after i washed it agian today, jsut for you guys....sucky thing tho, before i even finished the wax, we had a storm roll in so soon as i cleaned the was i snapped a few pics before the downpour 5 hrs down the drain :/

well maybe not 5, i wont have to re claybar it tomarrow, jsut wash and prolly wax ....again but heres some good pics ready for any feedback ASIDE from the red highlights, im getting rid of those when i rotate the tires in a week or so, and the engine bay pics are gone because i am going to redo allt he red highlights in gold as well, and i ordered gold decal sets for the front and back bird that havent come in yet so havent been applied, oh, and keep in mind that i will not remove the "trans am" emblem, and the side molding(i agree, the side molding is ugly, but i kinda want to keep everything stock, still on there, its a personal preference to keep cars as much stock as humanly possable)

the engine pics are not here because im going to redo it first.

(oh yeah, i DO have a cleaning based question for you guys, whats the best way to clean the gates in the ram air hood, and the side vents, i try to clen them but i can never get all the access wax off that i accidentally got on them (the TA emblem as well)
anyway here
