Default Appearance Ideas??

Trying to do some different things to my car. Thinking of changing the side markers possibly. Any other thoughts to make my car look better?






the wipers don't stay up like that, just finished a wash & haven't put them back yet....

I like it!! Clear corners and maybe demold it,Idk I just hate that molding but i like the black Trans Am. Very clean and very nice! Go to Autozone or a parts store and get the halo fog lights. They look good and there bright!

I Like the idea of painting the roof and sail panel black...should get some one to photoshop that before you decide though. I for one am a fan of the side moldings, at least the Trans Am letters. I think the cars look funny without them. Thats just me though. Smoked corners would look nice. I really like the yellow and black combo you got going on there.

have you ever thought about taking off the little black plastic pieces behind your windows and putting on some aluminum ones? You really dont have anything to go with it, but you wanted some suggestions so I thought I would throw that out there!

Monochrome top for sure, maybe upgrade your fogs to the hella driving lights or maybe even an HID projector. i would say new wheels but i like the LG wheels plus they are pricey.

all those are really great ideas. may start with the side markers first. clear or black? and where can I get a set reasonable? foglight bulb change will probably be in there pretty close at the same time

Like a bumble bee.

Blackout taillights, CETA bumper, black top and sail panel. Remove side moldings. I would also fill in the stripe. No chrome please.
