i bought the car for 1800 bucks belive it or not, i dont have alot of money in the car, but when i buy parts i get the best, and my boss is really cool and gave me all my materials and the paint we use ( spies hecker, factory porsche paint) is very expensive so that saved me some money, i only really have money in parts, even the visors and such i got done cheap because my shop paints the cars for the upholstry shop. If i had to put a price on the labor involved it would easily be over 20 grand as i have a ton of time in the car

1800? very nice,how many miles does it have? the t/a spoiler really is the best way to go,like they've said,the ws6 stock spoiler looks like that of a v6.very nice paint as well,however adding carbon fiber trim pieces inside the car would look awesome. Wonder what a gunmetal paintjob with some bbs gold colored rims would of liked like on your ride?

Any better(brighter) shots of the smoked tails? They look good and I want an idea of the amount of smoke you used. I like being able to see a little red and honeycomb. Thanks.

wow you and your dad do an amazing job.
Now this is jsut me, but *I* do not like the low rise spolier, if it was me i would get a Trans Am hatch and throw it on there. Again that is jsut me.....
Keep posying progress pics.. You will like the viper built tranny.. my buddy has that in is 97 Trans Am..
One more thing.. Can you swap out your gauge cluster and get on that has digital odometer?

thanks again guys, i do have the trans am spoiler on my car im not sure what your talking about, ive got something in store for the gauges i have yet to see here so im not really worried about the cluster, but this winter im switching my radio plate to black carbon fiber, and getting a few more CF accents, billet *****, sparco pedals, custom "ws6" floor mats, a 4 point roll bar, and a few other things here and there, of course along with the new powertrain and suspension
Refthemc, i could have easily done the 98up conversion, but i really dont like it as much as mine, i love the smooth look of my front end, i like the 98 also but im not a fan of the all the vents.
