Default Need Some Appearance Ideas.....

Here is what my car looks like now....





Here is what my car looks like now.. If you can nto tell i added black mirrors and VHT'd the side markers... Also right now my car is at GM for the sail panel recall, and i am having them paint it black.






Here is what my car will look like after i paint my hood red..



So what suggestions do you all have? Like decals or what not. The birds on the sail panle will not be there again

Your car looks great. And i think its really cool that you got GM to do the sail panel.

The only thing that i would do is a drop. And then your set.

CETA would fit perfectly, and I'm a big fan of no side decals too.

Lose the bird on the sail panel. Change the Trans Am badges to black. Lowering would be good. Pretty much any wheel you put on there is gonna look good. I reccomend painted TT2's, or anything CCW.

Rims, paint the calipers, and I guess lower it would look good to.

drop that thing, and definitely do the CETA bumper, and maybe some Fikse FM10's, or Iforged Aeros rims. That would look killer

Rims, stance, and make the Phoenix on the sail panel a 4th Gen one, then call it good.

since you did the mirrors and sail black I think either gloss black stripes one the ram air hood and then on the rear deck would tie in very nicely or even gloss black blackbird stripes on the sides of the ram air hood would look good... alond with a black ceta bumper

not going to have the birds on the sail panel anymore. I currently like the stock chrome 5 starts for now. CETA will be in the near future. Dropping the car is not really and option. 3" TDs under axel.....


but i think that i will get new decals in black
