Got some pictures back from a guy that wanted to take pictures of my car for some reason. They came out pretty good. Image hosting site really killed the quality.

Thanks man. I wanted to set my car apart from the rest a little bit. Also why i'm the only American made car running those wheels at all haha. I like the blue calipers. I almost wish I did mine metallic blue instead of just regular blue. I do prefer my Trans Am logo over the Brembo logo though

Tinman not sure why but your pics didn't show up . I'm not usually one for gold, but that setup works man.

I'm not usually either, but I hate chrome/polished and black would've just made the style of the wheel seem of boring. The shade of gold they used on these is perfect in my opinion. It's not a bright, in your face, yellowish gold as much as it is almost a champagne gold. The idea was also a bit of a throwback to the earlier generations of gold snowflakes wheels.

I began disassemble in prep of header install, got drivers side manifold off so far. Did not have the time this weekend to get any further. It was challenging, and slow going but I was pleased all the manifold bolts came out without issue. I think hardest part so far was getting some of the spark plug boots off especially on passenger side. I'm be installing American Racing 1 3/4 long tubes. with catted y. They are out being ceramic coated.

Save that bird. I have a red headed step child of my own. Red 96 Camaro SS. I bought it with a blown motor. It was obvious that it had been raced, wrecked and abused. I still have a long way to go but I'm driving it every day and loving it.

Washed the 1999 ta and dropped it off at the shop for a synthetic oil change, Russel stainless steel brake lines, and new corsa clone exhaust tips.
