Agreed, that is part or the touch up stuff. They also painted the divider between the T-Tops body color and I want that changed back to black as well.

They painted the t-top divider???? Your car was black... so I guess I can see how they made that error... but still.

Looks very good. Like the CETA rear mumper treatment.

One question...what sized tires? They look pretty small...16s?

Its different I like it. Never saw someone paint a Trans Am that color before.

I like what you've done.

I also think black rims with the black hood stripes might look pretty cool...in a 30th anniversary edition kinda way.

I would have stayed black but it looks good nonetheless. I'd say you definitely need to upgrade your wheels and tires though!

Some people in another forum wanted to see the enigine bay, so I figure I would share. I know there is overspray on the lower lid, but its coming out as soon as I can afford a volant intake. Also the fuel rail covers are going to be painted body color when my roof panel comes in.

wow i really like that color. and the backdrop for those pics is sweet too. i think chrome or polished wheels would go better with that color but thats just me. oh and are you gonna pull off the black lettering? looks funky

It looks a little funky now, but I just added black 'ram air' decals. Once I get the black zo6 offset rims, I plan to get the dual black stripes for the hood. Ill run that for a while, then maybe get some larger chromes and then swap it over to a white striping.
