96 TRANS AM please throw me some ideas!
are you wanting to paint the whole car? if so some color recommendations would be:
-Dark Highland Green - (color I picked) 01 Mustang GT Bullitt color
-Dark Cyber Grey - C6 Vette color
-Dark Shadow Grey - 03-04 Cobra color
-Pewter - 98-02 Trans Am color
-Grigio Titanio - Ferrari F430 color
all these I think are nice colors that would stand out on a 93-97 Trans Am

don't worry. I didn't know what R/A was either. Everything is abbreviated or acronymed now.
I say keep your spoiler it looks badass, and makes the rear look wider because of its low profile. Get the ws6 hood and you're set exterior wise. That blue/green paint seems rare enough to me.
Just get it professionally detailed, porter cabled and all. It'll bring out the shine real nice to go w/ the wheels. The stance is perfect and the CETA is too.
You're set on the outside w/ those mods.
Clean up your engine bay is my other advice.

exactly. here are a couple before and after pics of my car. the ram air and wheels make all the difference. The hood is kind of crapshoot. you can get lucky like i did and get a good deal on a real GM hood (i paid a little over $300) but for an aftermarket probably trufiber like someone else mentioned. there is a thread in the LT1 section with somenoe showing off a Tru fiber hood. as for the ram air box it's also had to find and pricey but i also got a steal on that too, lol ($115 shipped for the box and the expensive hard to find maf to tb bellow) good luck with getting one, i'd keep searching google, ebay, craigslist etc. i found mine on some random fbody board in oklahoma by googling LT1 WS6 airbox. I'd also upgrade to the uplevel hatch/spoiler. i wasn't aware when i bought my car that the spoiler was optional from 94-97? but i definately would have only bought one with the highrise. the low rise looks too much like a formula for me.

I think it is whatever the legal amount allowed in florida was. something like 35% on the sides and 20% on the back. I had it done down there a few months after i bought the car.
after seeing that tint, that's what I'm gonna get.
In IL they just passed a law to allow us tint on the side windows, but you can't have darker that 35% all around, if you want to have 35% on the sides.
If you want 5% on the back you can only get 50% on the sides.
So **** it, I'm going w/ 35% sides and 20% back, which is what I was thinking of doing.

the tint is the same in both these pics its just the light thats different. the tailpipes do sit lower in the first pic because that was taken right after i had my magnaflow muffler installed and it makes the exhaust sit a little lower.
here's another pic of the side taken back in february (thats why the center caps are different. i didn't have the new ones yet) and you can get a better idea of how the tint looks on the sides
one take it to a body shop and have them ajust the hood and fender gaps but i wouldn`t change the color to far from what it is now. full body color change can cost. some rims tint and accent coloring would look good. i have the same year and color you have and run the gambit of appearance mods throught my head.
