mmm fresh meat lol first of all, ride looks sweet! lets see...i would start with darker tint, clear corners, maybe a good front end wash. Thats just little stuff...if you have the money maybe some deep dish rims (depending on your interests...race, show ect) or possibly some subtle ghost flames! IMO some nice chrome rims would change your world upside down! Thats all you would realy need to stand out.
and just some extra ideas...chrome nose bird, ceta mod, intenna mod
~ride looks badas...none the less
oh and welcome to the board

Hmmm.... nice car first of all, I LOVE the LT1 WS6...

If it were my car I would, black out the turn signals and side markers with VHT, install LS1 tail lights and put Torque Thrust II's on it with the centers painted a gunmetal grey and a gunmetal stripe to match, like this:

Listen to this man, he's got a great looking Trans-Am... and he agrees with me

To add to my list (and agree with other posts):

Get rid of the side moulding

Satin Black CETA on the bumper (I wouldn't paint the roof and spoiler)

I hadf a green Z71 and always hated the color. Then I saw this guys LT1 Ta on here I believe his name is Texas T/A and Im quite fond of the color now. He has some gunmetal zr1 on it. The gunmetal compliments the car perfectly. You may want to look into some black or gunmetal ZR1s and maybe a matching CETA. Dont know it a gunmetal CETA would look decent thoug. I have a suggestion though. If you do a CETA do the full treatment and do the sail panel and mirrors in black to because that looks amazing on a LT1 TA.

hey man we got twins except for the wing what year is yours and the hood but that part not for much longer, heres some pics of mine when i had gunmetal zr-1s 17x11s in the back and pics of the wheels mine has now .... with the zr-1s i was going to use the same gunmetal color and do the ceta paint mods ..... with what i have now they will be black and i will have some black put on the hood i am getting, hopefully the hood will happen this year or the beginning of next ... anyway heres the pics with both types of wheels










hope these help a little in helping you find what you want since they are the same color cars so you can get a idea of what would look good on your car ... congrats on the car i have grown to where i love the color of my car over pretty much all others... this green color grows on ya
