Should expect that from a Camaro guy. lol

It's not redundant at all. It compliments your car, but also states the fact that the WS6 is one hell of a lot more mean/intimidating looking.

Rims: bad ***.
Front clip: bad *** - but, as mentioned, probably can only be pulled off with a nice intercooler to show.
Headlights: not bad - I don't usually like these, but they seem to go with the "look" of your car.
Spoiler: :shrug: I dunno about the spoiler. Definitely different than stock, and (IMO) much better than the "commando" spoiler, but I'm still not sold on it..

Overall, definitely a mean-looking TA! And if you're running 10's, then you've got the ***** to back up the look too...

It's different, but in a good way. A lot of attention went into the details and I respect that, good job!

I think the car is a tad ricey, but acceptable. I would try to grill the opening to the intercooler. It looks unfinished.

I think its different, which is awesome, theres really not much room for individuality, other than with paint, when it comes to a trans am. The only thing i dont like is the headlights( just my preference), but if you are gonna have em, they look best on a darker car, like yours. Also i agree with the posters that said a grill would look good in the opening of the front air damn, the intercooler looks mean there, but at the outer edges it looks kinda funny, all in all, i say its awesome man way to go, BTW I love the spoiler, where from?

I would run the black mesh on the front bumper, get a fake tip to balance the rear and smoke your headlights. That way they will go with the color of the car and will still be non popups. I would only "show" the intercooler at shows, don't want everyone to know that you have a turbo/supercharger.

I like the Bumper, remold the wing and it be great (less slope on the sides) and Fix the headlights, you can see the screws to hold the covers on, try a clear epoxy to fix the headlight cover on and you'll be good to go What did you finally put down HP wise, I had seen the car at the shop for the longest time waiting on your motor?

i think the car looks great. i wouldn't have saved up money to buy that spoiler but at the same time, it's not bad enough to go through switching it out. the front end is bad ***.

Id just change the exaust to a dual setup (that is if it's a super charger)
Car looks good man. If you daily drove it, Id do something to cover (protect) the intercooler...never know when a big rock or bird or a steel belt go through the hole and **** that thing up. headlights...id go with one or the other (stock square light and whatever that other one is), not both but I do like the non-pop up lights.

The car is yours, if you like it...to hell with everyone else

Looks good BTW

I like the looks, but you definetly need another exhaust pipe. Where did you get the spoiler?

I think he's got the rear-mounted turbo setup - hence the one-sided exhaust...
