Default Design ideas for the trans am

Ok i have a 98 trans am and im trying to decide exactly what i want to do with the whole paint scheme of the car. i was thinking of doing a kandy blue almost like the electron blue and then putting a new age phoenix coming out of true flames in either silver or a lighter blue. in the interior i was thinking blue and silver mostly everywhere. keep in mind this is going to be a show car and i want it to look it best. please help me out guys. thanks in advance for your opinions, ideas, suggestions, etc.

the paint job sounds nice and if you do go with an electron blue a black or silver CETA mod qwould look really nice. if you dont know what the CETA is, its the area around the tips that the 02 t/as had that was painted black.

I think lemans blue or cobalt blue with silver flames would really cream a few oreos wsith a silver CETA. as for the interior. buy a silver carpet, pain the dash black or get an ebondy interior and have maybe the silver seats with some minor blue accents like the lighting

ebony is the black one. or you could get like a blue carpet and black t/a seats with the rest of the ebony interior and paint some peices blue. like the door upholstery you could re-do in either blue or silver leather. then paint the door pannels silver at the bottom. the blue carpet would set it off awesome if you did that

I think LeMans Blue Metallic is the best looking blue. It pops like no other and looks really good on T/A's. With the flames it would look really good to do a lighter blue and silver. Not really diggin silver seats though.

i shoot down any idea of flames, true flames are ugly and look tacky and the trend of them will fade in a few years if they aren't already. i like about all of the dick harrell colors, honestly i think a "hulk" green would look good with black wheels, manta, berger etc. smurf blue?! a brighter green?
