Well, I agree with the above:

Blackbird stripes/tint/lower it

Black CETA mod to the bumper

Polish the Bird off the tail light center piece

Get rid of the side molding AND the Trans-Am letters

Chrome vents

ALSO (my addition) Bird decal on the front with a red (burgandy) body and black flames/wings

and MAYBE paint the rims' SPOKES gloss black (to match the stripes) and leave the lip chrome (if you aren't getting new rims)

Your list reads like mine. Are you just interested in "show" or are you looking for some go??


I started with the "go"

I would definitely ditch the molding and Trans Am side lettering and drop it an inch or so!

thanks for the replies. i was thinking of going with some TT2's. I know some people will say that they are played out but, they are very nice and clean looking wheels. And they are in my price range.

They're not played out in my opinion...If I had the money I would go with the TT2's, they're just so smooth looking.

I'd just do clear side markers and window tint, that's it!

Just don't overdue your car!!! Seen a lot of F-bodies ruined because they overdue there cars

This is what mine looks like, I didn't change much

I'd love to do tints, but the cops in my area are ****
