Default PICS of the WS6, input needed...





Once open click on the picture again for better viewing.

So whats next, the main thing I've been debating are the wheels: Options are

1.) polish lips to higher gloss, leave center hyperblack
2.) dip rims in chrome

the main reason is to get everything to tie in a little better. Tips wheels and more.

For sure I want to add the PONTIAC fill ins from dragonz, maybe a nosebird.
Delete the bird in the center of the lights, and that should be it. Opinions thoughts...

Bigger rotors in the front, thatll be more futureoriented.

Custom name on tag recommendations would be nice too while im here.
Im thinkin WS6LS1 or viceversa.

Very Sharp Looking Car!, But i think a high polished lip with black centers would look pretty awsome.

Your list is good. Maybe take the molding off the door to give it a cleaner look. I actually had a set of those wheels but sold them because they werent wide enough for my taste. If you widened your wheels an inch to 10.5"s you could fit a 295-315 out back and they would still fit and look awsome.
This is what my car looks like from the back and I think the wider tires make it look so much meaner

BTW your car looks great.

Looks really good, I would !molding, get some stainless inserts, not chrome, looks a lil classier, then widen the rear wheels and get some meat out there, you're car would be sick!!! I think TAILLTS would be a cool tag, or WS-SICK, something like that.

Im in agreement though i would add clear side markers... get rid of the amber. Also black out the center tail panel. Nice looking car though!

Im going to say DO remove the rear filler panel bird and maybe do a charcoal-Very dark Charcoal CETA mod. If you arent too fond of your ws.6 badge (i dont see why you wouldn't like it ) remove it to have the rear of the car flow better . take off the side moldings and remove the "Trans Am" off of the door. But none the less i love your car the way it is

I think the car looks awesome the way it is. Just take off the mouldings for a cleaner look.
as for the wheels, it does already look good how it is and would look good in any of the combinations described, i guess it's all up to you. Do you want the shiny wheels or the a simpler look. IMO I'd like to see the hyperblack with the polished lip.

black + chrome = sex definatey dip them in chrome IMO. Have you ever thought of a silver stripe on the side of your raim air hood where the notrils rise? I think that would flush good with the chrome rims and stainless inserts. Your car needs diversity though, and making those rims black would be a step in the wrong direction the way i see it.

Dude first of all let me clarify "your car looks frikin sweet" . I'd remove the side molding and emblems for the cleaner look , the tips look bad *** like they are , widening the rims = wider tires on back = wicked , definately black out that rear filler panel , I'd keep the original amber/red lenses = (clean look once again) , maybe some darker tint and as far as the rims go any option your considering would look bad *** , yes to rear fill in letters (stainless) , the front bird I have not decided on , But once again let me clarify your car looks awsome , definately one of the best looking T/A's I've seen and believe me I've seen alot of em'.

Ditch the tail light bird, leave the rest alone. WS6 cars are nearly perfect the way they are, just need wheels and lowering. Too many people put on gimmicky add-ons that cheapen the look of their cars. Just because something fits on your car, that doesn't mean it looks better than stock.

I've seen those wheels in chrome, they look too blingmaster fresh in chrome. They look more like a performance wheel just like you have them now.

Sweet *** car. I think that whatever you decide to do with the wheels would be sweet either way.

Thanks alot for the input from everybody I appreciate all the comments and feedback. Theirs definately alot to think about as far as the wheels go, cause once its done you cant go back without buying new. So will see.

They definately should be widened, though, thats in the works.

The bird and TA in back filler panel are going too, so if anybody has a filler panel that their willing to sell let me know?

I kinda like the mouldings on the car, Ill have somebody photoshop them out to see how it looks.

'Trust' thanks for the input on the tags, I like both of them.
