Default Big Sophomore with a Trans Am

Before we get into my car, let me introduce myself. my names Bill, Im from Colorado, still in High School, between 6'3"-6'4", 250-265lbs, turning 17 later this month. I play Football an Wrestle. I work out like every day. I just purchased a 1994 Pontiac Trans-Am A4, LT1, about 93000 miles and I love it. Im used to working on my Jeep but after a roll into a river, Ive changed to the Trans-Am. Im not as smart with these cars as Id like to be, so Im going to need help on a lot of things..... Ill get better pictures this weekend.

love the tan interior with the green paint... here are my appearance suggestions:

free mods:
-get rid of the gold stripe on the side itll look 10x cleaner without...
-take off the front license plate bracket, u wont be dissapointed...

mods that require a bit of cash:
-get clear corners to replace the stock amber ones, they are taking away attention from the paint imo...
-get either 17 or 18" rims... look into ZR1s (17x9.5 in the front 17x11 in the back) theyre budget rims that look damn good on any fbody...


here is a t/a with no front plate, no stripe, and clear corners... not ur color but u get the idea:


as for the zr1s just search in the wheels and tires forum... ull find plenty of pictures!

Looks like its in pretty good shape and the engine compartment looks clean for a 93k mile car. Nice color combo too. Welcome to the site.

Lol, no need for physical description here. But nice car and welcome.

I agree, get that front license plate bracket off asap and you'll be good.

yes, welcome and nice car. I'm not a fan of that interior but your's is clean and looks great with the green. I too say ditch the pin stripe, get some chrome ZR1's, and delete the front plate if it's not illegal in your area. Anything done to it exhaust wise? I'll have a dynomax UltraFlow for sale in a month or so... You can probably pay shipping on it and have it for free It'll add some mean sound to it without being TOO loud. Has Z28 tips on it but i can cut 'em off

When you start getting in that height and weight range, these cars start getting less comfortable, which is why I think he was pointing out his size.

Welcome!

Maybe you already knew this, but Camaroz28.com is where most LT1 guys hang out full time.

Yep, Clear corners, remove Pinstripe, Remove the molding on the door just above the TRANS AM emblem. Then look into some rims. those aren't bad for stock but you could pick up some nice ones for pretty cheap for sale on here i'm sure. I won't be home for a month or so, so you'd have to wait on the muffler. I gotta have it taken off from the shop and have them throw on my Magnaflow but i'll keep it if you want it. It's polished Stainless Steel so it's good for a long time. Make it sound better then stock. then just get some nice tips. ~Cole~

dont mind the forum douches. they are plentiful around here sometimes. im 6'6 200 and i fit fine. its a matter of finding the right seat adjustment. i spent 15 minutes finding it the day i bought mine, and it hasent moved since.
