I don't mean any disrespect, just stating my opinion...that looks absolutely horrible.
It might look good lowered and if the lip on the wheels were chrome.

At first, I preferred the polished lip to the full black. Now, I prefer the full black look. That's just me though.

If my car were black, I'd have my 10-spokes powdercoated full black. Not too sure how it'd look on NBM though.

Don't sweat it. If you like it, that's all that matters.

IMO...it needs some contrast. It's too black. Look at ritz's car
above. The chrome lip on the wheels breaks up the black and give
it just enough contrast. The center caps detract from the look as well.

If that were my car and I was going to keep the same wheels, I'd do the
following easy mods:

- Lower it (asap )
- Chrome the lip on the wheels
- Paint / powdercoat the calipers red (w/ Trans Am sticker)
- clear corners

That will wake it up nicely. Again, my 2 cents only.

This is Ritz's old car, i bought it, lol. But it will be lowered. I was thinking about coating the calipers, just couldnt decide on a color. And i like the clear corner idea........didnt think of that. Do they make a clear lense for the light on the spoiler? How about a stripe or stripes? I've never been a fan of them but they might look good on a TA.

EDIT
Also i do want to paint the bird on the front in the plate cover. Was thinking maybe having the "PONTIAC" on the rear painted too

why so it looks like every other car out there iwth black rims and chrome lip? I like it. The all black flows well imo. But it does need to be lowered and I'm sure better camera and settings would help a lot! I kind of wish my Z06 replicas didn't have the chrome lip and were just all black with the rivits

Thanks bro. That was my same feeling when it came to the polished lip. I like different. I hate it when i see another car/truck that looks a lot like mine.......i like to stand out! And its all constructive critisism........i like it so it doesnt bother me.

And nice ride BTW. Your would look pimp without the chrome lip too.
