Default Appearance mods for Black WS6??

This is my first Trans Am so Im lookin for some appearance mod ideas. Here are my ideas so far: flat black CETA mod and remove side molding. I was considering a few stainless emblems (front bird, Trans Am emblems on the doors, Pontiac fill ins on the rear) but I kinda wanted to keep it as black as possible. Thanks for your opinions

hrm as black as possible you say?? what about black chrome overlays, or flat black overlays to go along with your planned ceta? and lowering is always a good option.

I like the clean look, I'm trying to stay subtle with mine. I have the wheels, brushed aluminum 'Supercharged' badges on the hood, I'm going to do brushed fill ins and brushed door sills then call it done. Here is how it sits:



Badges:



Also, my moldings are completely gone now and my corners are blacked out.

take the trans am decal off the doors. i guess you can't really tell on a black trans am but i think it makes the car look cleaner.

I agree with trust. I like the simple clean look of a black WS6. I don't like all the decals and stuff people throw all over them. Mines pretty simple. Blacked out side markers, covers for blinkers/fog lights, and I polished the center piece between the tail lights. All black!

Exhaust tips, clear side markers and calipers, your car looks very nice and clean already.

'Trust': where did you get that "supercharged" emblem?

dragonZ28 (emblempros.com), I told him what I wanted (raised emblem, brushed finished in the 'Ram Air' font) and he delivered perfectly. When I get the car back I'm going to get some good pics of it, these don't do them justice.
