Good looking car. It's my first time seeing one in gold as a convertible. The black top looks good with it. I hope you don't mind me adding some suggestions to it. When I looked at it again I thought it would look good with a WS6 hood, some black stripes, paint the side mirrors black, some black overlays for the Trans Am badging on the doors. The black and gold theme would look great on that car. Regardless of what you do to her, she's a beauty

i thought the ws6 would look ok but if i ever run across some crome 17 fire hawk rims and the firehawk hood that would be sweet.

That color looks really good! That is the first I have seen of a gold vert. I like it!!!

I wouldnt modify the appearance much. A nice set of wheels, and maybe a tonneau cover...

I would say that car was not bone stock. You have WS6 wheels on a car that is obviously not a WS6.

Other than that it looks good. I like the color combo.

do not paint it whatsoever. second you put paint on it of any kind stripes etc it loses its rareness.

wheels and such is ok. but keep the paint job as is

I agree. She is beautiful just the way she is. The only modifications I would suggest are subframe connectors and a three point strut tower brace. These changes will prolong her life by helping to keep her from flexing to death.
