I'm think about some subtle pinstripes of some sort between the ram air humps, some lettering (such as LS1 or something) on the foward fender area near where it meets the bumper, some sort of badge or something on the bumper where it meets the hood to smooth the transition and blend with the pinstrips on hood, and maybe a black imperial logo from star wars (yes, I know that is geeky) or a black firebird symbol on the sail panel. Whatever I do I want to be subtle and tasteful. In the future I would like some nice black rims, maybe.
edit - This is what the imperial logo looks like in case anyone cares. I think it would look tasteful.

They're called fuel rail covers and they made them for the corvettes so you have to do a little work to them to make 'em fit buts its really easy, I bought mine from the chevy dealer they install by clipping to the fuel rails, you have to do a little cutting for them to fit but its a simple job. I can get you some more info/pic's if you want

I used a spray can.. dupli color from NAPA. Sanded down the original paint, threw a whole can a primer on there, sanded it a little bit, then put almost a whole can of "semi-gloss" black. Just take your time and make sure you mask it off well and its actually really easy.

^^^^ I did the same thing as phillip00ws6 all the stuff can be found at local auto store, be aware that there are two different versions of these the double fuel cut outs and the single, I have the part number for the double fuel cut out if you want/need them.. First check out ebay for these cause the'yre prolly cheaper then the dealer. and you can pick up some of the stickers that i used or different ones off ebay.

I'll have to post a link to a guy in PA that used to have a conv. 30th. triple white. It's great.
http://userweb.suscom.net/~jasonrogers/1998firebird.htm
So here's mine, it's not a Ws6, but it's white! I've had it less than a year, and right about the same time moved into a house, so I haven't done much. I bought a hood, and still haven't painted it... I know, I know. I'm supposed to get a deal from a friend if I put one of his shops decals on he'll do it for free. But he's always "busy" I'm about to just move on. However, I've heard a lot from people that like the black on white hood. What do you guys think??
