Default the only thing ugly on trans ams is their interior...how to change it!!

Well if we look at the more modern "sports" car there are some big essential changes.First of all more chrome and or aluminium brushed *****, handles etc.
There are not many interior mods in chrome or brushed alu for our cars and that is a shame, they are most of the time flat lay overs for example the air vents or radio bezel etc.
I want to develop a chrome mod for our cars and that is the interior door handle,to replace it ,with either a chrome lay over( but thats maybe too fake..but a cheap mod)or an entire chrome doorhandle.

what would you guys like to be changed?
opinions pls

Go brushed aluminium, chrome is too 80's. No chrome bumpers, etc. I know stangs have some billet interior parts on ebay that are not bad.

All of those cheesy control *****. The grey plastic ***** look like hell! That alone would make a vast improvement. Next would be the steering wheel which I took care of via Momo.

Damn! I didn't know people actually disliked the insides of the TA. I always thought that was one of the positives about the car's styling. Most other cars have boring, square and plain *****, the Pontiac's got a good style there, but to each his own.

Gotta agree with ya, I love my interior. The only things I would change are LEDs (blue) and make the seats a little more sticky (more like racing seats). Oh and maybe the shift **** to a Camaro style.

I like my interior, but man, once you guys get the chance to sit in an 06 GTO you will be IN LOVE and really jealous about the interior of the car...

The A/C controls are in the glove box prolly, or maybe console. The MP3 audio is transmitted to a amp, which goes to the speakers, just like a normal no pre-amp headunit...

NOT MY CAR BTW.

Actually I've heard that you can control just about everything in your car from one of those car pcs. Its possible he could hook up the ac to it and even the power windows.

Bah! Seeing that carPC picture reminds me why I want to get a Trans Am interior for my car so my carPC would blend in better.

Instead of worrying about a T/A int. You should worry about getting a TransAm
