I like it the way it is. Time to start working on more 'go fast' mods

Less is more, darken up the tint and enjoy.

Ever think about interior mods?

Guys-

Thanks for all the replies.. It's nice to see people think of my car the same way I do.. I love this thing..

I've actually thought about selling it before and my wife.. get this.. WON'T LET ME! Gotta love her! So, we've decided I'm keeping it forever..

As far as go fast mods, it's got a TR224/112, TSP 2.5 5.3's and all the accompanying mods for a typical heads/cam car.. Supposed to actually take it to the dyno tomorrow.. I'd like to get a new intake (currently has an LS6), just waiting on feedback on the Weiand Street Warrior setup..

I have thought about some interior mods, just not sure what to do with it.. I'd like to go darker tint, but Alabama only allows 32%, I could take it to Mississippi and get 28%..

Vht turn singals, ceta, vht taillights, HID's, big brakes, painting the sail panel and darker tint is a good idea. IMO, it looks great......OHHH if you have money to burn CCW 505's

First off, don't put any VHT on your car, please. VHT makes stuff appear blacked out, but it looks "cheap". Though VHT does get the job done, it can really just not look good. That car is far to nice to be damaged by VHT.

Secondly, please do not even think to add "Black Racing Stripes". Stripes will completely destroy the sleekness of that hood and that car. If it we're a T/A, then go for it, but the Firehawk hood is just to sleek.

I also wouldn't add anything blue. I wouldn't want to give the false appearance of a 30th T/A, when you clearly have something much cooler.

I personally would do a gloss black CETA, and paint the TTII's spokes black to match. Toss on some stainless steel badges all around, tint the windshield a little bit, and call that sum'bitch a day. You could probably get away with going a little lower and adding some bigger brakes, but I think that is getting into unnecessary spending.

If you really have money burning away in your pocket, then I would ditch the TTII's all together in favor of some high quality Fikse wheels, or CCW's. Those will always make your car look better, and REAL enthusiasts drool.

Sorry to anyone's opinions that I may have damaged. Just keepin it real!

An accident provides the perfect opportunity to upgrade.

Yeh, I've always loved the Hawk, but when I was buying my car, we couldn't find one I liked..
