Default '96 T/A Advice

This is my '96 T/A that I had custom-painted. Looking for some thoughts & suggestions on what would make it look better. Criticism welcome if ya don't like it, but helpful suggestions would benefit me more....

if i were you...since you have alot of the top of the car painted black i would paint the roof black...and then maybe go for some TT2s with the center painted black...

what i guess i'm trying to say is i'm really not feeling the wheels...there are so many more options out there that would just totally set off the car.

other than that...VHT nightshade the side markers...get covers for the fronts to black those out, and if you don't have them already preferably LS1 tail lights, if you've already got the LT1 Formula or T/A lights, that's good, i hate my dag on base model 93-97 lights...they look horrible...

personally i love the yellow. very rare and unique. love it!

edit: i think as a small touch, you should put a yellow inlay or outline of the bird...i think that'd look freakin sweet!

Black roof, yellow bird and break up the big black thing on the hood by putting a yellow pinstripe in it (making it look like it's a big black thing, then some yellow then a black pinstripe) like the Manta on SS's...

I would personally get a WS6 hood and re-paint the bumper... Not a fan of the black thing myself...

I love the yellow roof. Everytime I look at the pics I look at the roof. I love the lok of a hardtop TA. I say look into some other wheels the silver just doesnt set of the color combo. Also the yellow bird would be a bad *** idea. Oh and gie us some more pics!
