Oh and if you want to get Trans Am fuel rail covers you can get them at www.afterthoughtsauto.com. The corvette ones look nice but your Trans Am would look better with Trans Am covers.

Sorry man, can't say I like it. Here we are today where alot of people criticize import drivers for adding non standard body parts, thus turning their cars into rice. I think your TA is starting to look like rice too. First off, the stickers on the windshield, the body skirts, the rims. I bet you alot of people driving imports would call your car rice too. No offence dude, just my opinion. I would never have added that body package.. it makes the front nose look too busy.

Well the body skirts are made for a Trans Am nothing import has to do with it, just because the imports started adding the effects first. Also the effects dont add any crazy shapes the the car, they stay with the body lines. The stickers are my car club StreetForce.

It looks good, except for the body kit, in IMO.
I like the rims.

Oh please.

Ignore the idiotic remarks like that, nothing "rice" about it. Using that logic, changing anything from the factory is rice.

Your TA looks sweet man, the only thing I would change would be to add some black accents (front plate bird, WS6 hood grills, Trans Am lettering, etc).

Yeah, who the hell pins this car with "rice." Those are CCW 505As. Are you going to call all the other Corvettes and TAs on this site with these wheels rice too?

Some people have their own oppinions on the WW ground effects kit. I like it on some cars, I don't like it on others. I actually own the GFX kit as well, I just never installed it.

The entire car has been done cleanly. Everyone has their own vision, or ideas when modding cars. No need to **** all over someones pride and joy. If you don't like it, don't say anything. Or pick out something on the car that you do like if you're going to open your mouth.

Nice car bro, I know you've spent a lot of time and money on it.
