My new WS6 Picked up my first LS powered F-body. This is my 5th F-body, all previous were LT1 powered. The vehicle itself is a 1998 Trans Am Factory WS6 6-Speed with 29k. Black exterior & charcoal leather interior. You may wonder why the LS6 motor has been put in at only 29K, the factory one cracked a lifter tray and the lifter ate up the cam and gouged up the lifter alley. Also damaged the crank trigger wheel.

Ellsworth- Thanks, yeah black has to be my favorite pick for most sports cars.
LS1CALIBOY- Thanks, seen your thread, car is almost a twin to mine. Love the all blacked out look you got going on. I am thinking of doing some all black Fikse wheels in the near future.
Roarin_8-Thanks, i usually don't discuss price, unless im selling something.
LPE_WS6-Thanks on the kind words, i know what you mean about keeping them clean. Especially the back bumper with those 315's out back. But its the price you pay for having a Batmobile.
Raoul-Duke- Thanks a lot

Beautiful. I always thought that the Borla tips were butt ugly when I saw pictures online. But after actually seeing what they look like on your car they're not bad at all. They actually look pretty good. Good luck on your never ending quest to keep that pretty thing clean lol. One thing I love about pewter is that part is easy

Thanx, those Fiske would look killer on your car. I'm actually wanting to go with a set TTII's Black with polished lips. Gotta do some other mods tho before I change rims...

Fourth-Gen Man- Thanks, yeah the Borla isn't that bad. I really like the tone of the exhaust. In terms of tips i would say hands down the best looking exhaust on a T/A has got to be the Corsa.
SMKE EM- Thanks on the comment
LS1CALIBOY- Torq Thrust II's would look killer with painted centers.
My ideal look for my car would be either some Fikse FM10(like the pic below) or the FM5's in all black.
