Default New Pictures of the Trans Am

had to get some pics for my for sale add, so here are a few.

i know, the car could use a drop, but i could care less since i'm selling it. Never again will i buy rims before lowering springs.















never tried a see through hood shot, but i was bored so i gave it a go. could use some tweaking, and a better angle.

it absolutely needs to be lowered. but the car is for sale, so i'll let the new owner handle that.

the see through shot was done in photoshop. gotta have the camera on a tripod, and take one shot with hood closed, one with it opened, and then the rest is done in photoshop. let me know if you want to know the steps i used.

thanks. there is a very slight difference. but its all factory from what i know.

I've heard of this being an issue with the firebirds, something about the paint showing up different due to the materials being different, i think thats what it was. i know i've noticed this on some other birds as well. but i'm not 100% on that.

^its sitting with all my other stuff in the garage waiting to go on the next camaro.

I didnt feel it was going to really help the selling process, but, there was a chance that it would hurt the sell. I want the car to look nice and clean, with nothing really standing out as odd, that potential buyers may shy away from.

Awesome looking car, I'm excited to see what you do with your next one when the TA sells. You have great style/taste when it comes to modding these cars.

As far as the "lowering before rims" comment, I agree 100% yet I have never actually followed it lol. Somehow I always end up getting rims and other stuff first, and end up taking forever before I can afford springs/struts/etc...
