those are C6 vette rims. they look good imo.

as far as your car goes... !pillar bird, 17" rims, ceta mod, black or clear corners, drop, raptor hood, corsa tips, dragonZ28 stainless pieces (fill ins, door lettering, side vents)... that should keep you busy for awhile, heh.

What he said. Mainly focus on Wheels and dropping (do this at the same time. I tried to do 18" rims then drop later due to money....it looked like pure ****, I dropped it two days later thanks to the credit card ). Let everything else come as you get the cash.

I gotta agree with most of this also, along with FirehawkNS above.
Drop, wheels, !bpillar-bird, Raptor, ..., maybe even !door emblems to clean it up even more.
Only thing I disagree on is the stainless on the doors/vents.

Drop & wheels will make a huge difference!

i like the bird on the pillar, so that stays. i want 17s real bad.. goimng to go with either black C6 or chrome C6 like the one in the pics. i would prolly do black corners. on the front bumper and reaer bumper right??? i have GMMG tips btw. and i might think about the SS inserts

take that giant bird off the side, ram air hood, a drop, and sexy wheels of your choice. not much else you can do to sexy up a T/A than that.

I do not think the C6 wheels on that car are the 17" versions. I would guess they are 19 out back and 18 on front. Maybe he will chime in and tell me I am wrong!

With a red car I would go chrome or black with a polished lip. There was a guy in my class at the Trans Am nationals that had a red T/A and he had his stock WS6 wheels chromed. That is the way I would go with your car. I would lower it ASAP too - there has to be a way to tuck those TDs up tighter. You should have more clearance than that.

These are all good ideas. Any of them will look good. Definitely lose the pillar 'Bird.

i dont know if there is a difference between the ws9 and the ws9 outlaw hood, i think the ws9 is just a ws6 hood with the heat extractors but im not positive, i think these would look badass on your car. https://host279.ipowerweb.com/~tomzw...b65a587f78bd99
