Default Just did tint..suggestions?

I just had my tint done on my car today. Not very good pictures but you get the point. I am wondering what other appearance mods would look good.. I already plan on changing out the tips.

I think it looks good as it is, what type of theme are you going for? You can get clear or smoked corners, VHT the tailights, remove the sidemolding...possibilities are endless

IMO looks perfect now, save money for go fast mods

I think it looks good the way it is. Only thing I would do is get a set of stainless steel rear letters. Clear corners would be nice as well.

I would definitly sand the bird off on the panel between your tail lights. getting rid of the side molding and "trans am" lettering would look good too. The stainless letters for the "pontiac" and the bird on the plate cover would look really nice. Personally I would change your exhaust tips as well, but other than those things your car looks awesome

Looks good...I am not much of a fan of the stainless steel letters and stuff, that sjust up to you. I do like the VHT nightshade on the tails. The tint looks good...it always make the Fbodys look good.

Nailed it! Exactly what I was going to say (minus the stainless letters). I don't like too many fbods with C5 zo6's, but some pull them off nicely, this is one.. I would do what Hawk108 said, get some Corsa type tips, ditch the molding and the 'trans am' on each door, get some nite shades and tint your corners (clears on black stick out like a sore thumb) and it will look sick!
