Whoa seems like alot of negativity towards this car.
I personally like the color and who knows, maybe this color isnt right for most women and his girl really likes it maybe thats why he decided to do it. Regardless man nice car and im sure she will love it.

the car started off as a pewter formula, and the person that i bought it from painted it and just didnt take care of it at all. so now im just trying to do the fbody some justice by bringing it back to life. it was in horrible condition when i got it. I gave 2500 bucks for it so i couldnt turn it down. i chose the color because my gf loves the yellow ta, but i didnt want the same yellow and figured why not go a step up with the paint. thats where the color came from its a pearl yellow. parking the car beside the yellow ta i think it looks better and i know it will look better when its done. it also ran a 13.78 with that horrible magnaflow exhaust and it needed a fuel pump which im changing as i speak.

doesnt look to bad to me, im not big on yellow but if she likes it she will love it! leave the formula front bumper, put on a trans am rear bumper, do the ceta mod to it, black out the tail lights, tint it, get a WS6 hood, black ram air stripes on the side of the nostrills, blackout turnsignals and IMO it will be a hot car!

I like it man!! As stated above if you put the t/a bumper and skirts, do the CETA and tint it, I think it will look REAL good. Hopefully she can see over that hood.

Good job so far,but you still have some progress to be made. You will definitely need to do something about the bumpers, because right now your taillight filler panel says 'Trans AM' and it is clearly not. She will catch grief from this from enthusiasts.

Also, you said you have the ground effects already, which is good, but the front pieces are made for the formula bumper, so if you do install the ground effects kit, you will need to keep the formula front bumper.

The color is good, I'd definitely get a different hood maybe a WS9 or Superhawk and put on either W68 ground effects or the Trans Am bumpers & side skirts.

He also said in another post his Z28 was an SS and so far he's called this one a TA...then a Formula, so who knows.
