Talking new appearance mods...
As some might have seen, I was thinking about doing VHT on the rear & side markers. Well here is a few pics of the finished product, along with a good side shot with the newly painted fender grills. I also re-painted the nose grills, just no pics. Lots more exterior change to come, but I am very happy with the new look my car is slowly takin on.

Rear NO flash (you can see the sun through the passenger side b/c of the angle the car is parked & time of day. They look black in person lookin straight at them)


Rear with flash


Side view (still on ramps & ignore my little house in the background)


I still need to paint my calipers & get my wheels powdercoated. Let me know what you think so far. I think it will look better after a good wash & buff.

Looks good. BTW, this might sound dumb but, how in the hail did you get those ramps under that car?

I was very sneaky

I jacked it up & set it back down on the ramps. We wanted a little more space to get under it by the front tires.

Looks great, now polish those tips up, or get some nice corsa's to sit underneath there.

I think it looks good. Get a Smoothlock over the keyhole in the hatch if there isn't one in there already!

Looks nice, the accents complement the color of the car as well.

Thankx for the comments guys. I still gotta get new rotors, paint my calipers & get my wheels powdercoated like the CETA wheels. I also got some unique stuff I'm workin on that won't make it on the car for a little while.

I know, it got all crooked when I got a modded y-pipe installed. It will be fixed when the LT/ORY install is completed.

Do you live in a toolshed? I think the interior of your Trans Am would be more spacious.
