If you're wanting the silver look, I know you said no to ZR1s, but I'd get a set in silver before I got 10 spokes. They're clean and cheap. Most people have chrome or polished, the silver would look good against the black. 11s in the rear, and I'd ditch all the "Not a TA" decals on the car, and if you can't make the hood align better, I'd almost rather have the stock hood then a non-aligned aftermarket.

bright or blood red accents ftw! and ws6 or cowl hood,and the "not a T/A sticker is GAY As Fagg" the T/A BTW is the GT version of your car
I saw this red Formy at the mall yesterday that had a auto parts store "Turbo" emblem just below "pontiac" on the rear bumper and those fake oval vents stuck on the fenders!!!!
Somebitch had cherry grids!!!!

Im getting the C6/Z's for 300... And spending the rest on some tires.

I think Black wheels will look fine, considering i'm going to put Silver Formula Vinyls on the Doors, and filler piece, Probably the Air Dam as well.

TOOOOOO MANNNYYYY people have ZR1's, i love those rims, but too many people have them.

I had planned on doing it the same color, "Silver".

Does the "Formula" on the rear bumper come off? Im just wondering if i can remove it?
Honestly, I have only seen a few other cars in person that have them (C4 ZR1 rims). Sure, when you get online where a bunch of enthusiats gather, you'll see a lot of them, but to your everyday person, they'll just look great. It's cool to stand out from the crowd tho, too. I've always wondered what a 18" C6 ZR1 wheel would look like on a bird...I think it'd look tight as hell.

Those factory decals will come off easily, and you can order them in any color for cheap too, so if you wanted them in white, red, orange, whatever you want.

I personally don't care for the cowl hoods on the firebird usually. I've seen them before in person and it just seems like the car that has a lot of curves in the body it just didnt look right with a giant sharp cornered box on the hood. Doesn't flow right in my eyes. Again, just my opinion.

Watch ebay/ls1tech classifieds for the actual door badges, they are hard to find, but usually not too expensive. I've got a couple sets for around $20 or so IIRC.

Get the badges in any color, then just sand them down and paint them whatever color. I actually painted the emblems silver, and then did the black decal overlay ON TOP of that. Black with a silver outline basically. Here's a couple older pics of my car with the polished aluminum C4 ZR1's (Very unpolished in pics ) and the door emblems...

Something like this with red instead of silver would probably look pretty sick. You could see about painting your calipers red as well then too.
