Cheap appearance stuff to do for a NBM WS6? I have a '00 NBM WS6 and would like to do some cheap things for appearance(like no rims or new paint or anything that pricey). So far I have been going with a silver/blue color to everything. I put a silver firebird symbol on the front bumper cover, and silver "trans am"s on the doors, and soon I'm going to try to get a silver firebird symbol and trans am words for the rear taillights, and the pontiac letters for the back also. Do you have any other suggestions for stuff that might not be a huge project or a lot of money that I can do for a little appearance upgrade 
?
Thanks for your help

I ditched the side moldings as they are pretty pointless. Any normal car door swung open won't be stopped by those. Makes the profile a lot sleeker. Clear corners up front do a nice subtle touch imo, as they match the front turn signals clear plastic covers. I also painted my Firehawk's grills a light-gloss black, as opposed to the very bland color that they come as.
I opted for Chrome accents instead of Silver. Then I VHT'ed my entire tail section & side markers. Plus painted my hood & fender grills Brilliant Silver along with tinted windows.
I plan on replacing my overlays with some custom stuff later, but it looks good for now.

Yeah, that car does look nice Mike. Hey, we have the same name and car too. Heh. Anyway, I forgot to say, I have the BGRA nostril corner pieces up front too, not the stock honeycomb grills.
lucky bastage, I wanted to get the BGRA but they discontinued them before I could get the money.
I'll probably swap out all the vinyl overlays for Polished Stainless from DragonZ28 after I get my car repainted. I als want his hood/fender grills too.

I actually just got mine a couple months ago . You can still buy a couple different pieces from different places, and the corner pieces are one of them. I just got those, I didn't actually get to get the whole kit... I want one too... But they do still have the nostril corner pieces being made anyway. I debaffled my hood and painted the inside of the new area all black so it blends in. I like it, it's different looking. You can hear the intake hissing in there now too .

I went with a charcoal - dark silver accent color on mine. The wheels are anthracite, the blackbird stripes are charcoal, and then I painted the hood vents dark silver to match the whole accent of the car. It really looks good.

IMO, less is more. Take off moldings, remove any stickers and use a color scheme that matches the rest of the car. I hate seeing black WS6s around here and they paint their fender vents and hood nostril grilles bright red or yellow. On NBM I'd choose either a black or a dark charcoal for any type of decal, if any decals at all.
