What should i do!?
What should i do!? Hey I got my 99 trans am about 2 months ago and i have some money that is burning a hole in my pocket! I really want to do some exterior,interior, or performance mods to my car.. So does anyone got any ideas? and if u have an idea, maybe you could post a link to where i can get it. thanx!
depending on how much money you have,i would start with CETA mod,tints,take off side molding,CAI,exhaust,and maybe some wheels but i like the ones you have now,all those mods should satisfy you for now
thanx, and i was def thinking about to doing the CETA, maybe with semi gloss black? And i really want true dual exhaust, but most place either say they cant do true duals on our cars, or i would need headers? And could someone post a link, or tell me a good site for the CAI, thanks again!
You can work on your engine bay appearance with some stainless steel covers. Check out my site at: store.specializedstainless.com

I'm gonna take a slightly different approach to my advice;
IMO, first thing you should do is take a minute (or a month...) to look at all the different stuff that's out there and decide what your "dream" car looks like when it's done. Have a clear vision in mind, so you end up avoiding putting a bunch of random mods together that look great by themselves, but might end up clashing with one another. You've got a gorgeous color already, so pick an accent color that works and be consistent with it.
Checking out the ls1tech sponors is a good place to start, as are some of the stickied threads around here. As for actually doing something, I recommend pulling the side molding asap
At the end of the day, it's your car. Do what you want with it and have fun doing it!

as far as mods go sure you want your t/a to look awsome but it has to back up its looks with performance
.... i'd get full exhaust and what not ..... also do the ceta mod everyone's tellin you about ... looks killer. I'd also black out the rear filler panel in between your tailights, basically taking the bird and "trans am" off of it .... much cleaner, and last but not least tint dem' windows ... you'd be amazed how much better a car looks with tinted windows(black of course, none of that ghey colored crap) and later when you get more money to spend on it, get yourself a nice set of wheels/tires and springs you can see some different ride heights here- https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/406330-those-who-want-see-ride-height-after-springs.html

By the way, know that you may need a tune for some of the performance mods that you do. Good luck.
Try to make it your own style man. We will all give you some great options but in the end its up to you.
What I would do:
Tint, CETA mod, lower the car (meaning new shocks as well), long tube headers, aftermarket lid, different exhuast (GMMG is having a group buy right now), paint your calipers, new vinyls for the door panels, front bird plate, and calipers.
That should hold you over for a little while

Fisrt off: schtick that sounds real nice!
Second: If that was my T/A...Lower it, tint it, blackbird stripes, do the back bumper, remove the molding, and throw some 18"s on it (I'm partial to TTII's but iForged makes some nice lookin' wheels for these cars) just my $.02
