Default Help with Pewter Trans Am

Ok i know a lot of people are against the pewter and black trans am theme but i was wondering if this would look good. or if anyone has pictures of this. i wanted to have a black sail panel, black Blackbird stripes and black CETA mod. i also wanted to do black side markers and probably black out the tail lights. also i was planning on doing limo tint and throwing on a nice pair of Black C6/ZR1 rims. tell me what yall think? i want some insight from other people before i go threw with this

YES:
tint
black zr1s (11s in back)
ceta
black sail panel

all of the above would kick ***

i dont like tinted tails. side markers would be alright to tint i guess. and i hate c6 wheels (they have no lips on the rims, looks like ****) i'm not a huge fan of blackbird stripes either, it makes the front of the car look too busy.

I dont see why it wouldnt look good. Black goes with pretty much anything.... red... green... blue... purple... gold... why not pewter? go for it and lets see how it looks! dont for get to black out the Pontiac in the bumper, the nose bird, and side badges to finish off your pewter/black theme!

idk, its all just opinions...i still think it looks too "busy", the T/A's have enough going on up front already. as for the c6's what i mean is the spokes meet up with the outer most edge of the wheel, there is no deepness whats so ever. plus on those c6's you posted, they have rivets.
i'm just speaking my mind...sorry. lol
