Default Black with 19" 505a CCW looks good!

After 7 years of owning this car, i am finally starting to get it where i want it.
It went from being bone stock on 16"s, crappy faded paint and no ws6 hood.
Ive swapped the exhaust a few times, cam a few times, and gone trough a few sets of rims.

As far as exterior goes, i only want to do the 3rd brake light in clear to match the corners lenses, which i just put on today. Honestly i think the car looks brilliant with them, they look very good on a black car with polished rims. To each his own i guess, but i love them.

The car has new paint, fog lights, turn signal lights and tint all around.
Sorry for the quality of pics and all the other distractions in the picture.
Enjoy!

Those wheels would look good with an extended front lip.

Forget the lip, I was just thinking about how bad it would rub. I couldn't live with it, always parking in reverse and what not. I wouldn't mind a good splitter tho. Maybe go with the splitter.

There will never be a Trans Am with CCW 505a's that looks anything less than stellar.

Ever thought about going with a clear honeycomb on the tail lights to match the side markers? I've always thought the clear sides and tail look good on a black car, but I don't think they would work on my red T/A.

Those clear taillights are just a photoshop from years ago. They don't actually exist.

My 2nd favorite wheels for a TA, looks awesome. Have you considered doing something with the brakes to help fill those 19s out?

Thanks for the compliments!

Still have a little bit left to do, i will probably never get done modding it

The car put down 435 rwhp and 420 torque with afr 205 and small 222 cam.

I want to get a big brake kit for the fronts as the next major mod.
Not really sure on what kit to go with, i see you can get cts-v brakes for cheap, but im not sure how and where to get all the parts.

Will they fit right over? Isnt there a long parts list and some custom work to make the fit and work properly?

The Baer big brake with 13.5" rotors goes for around 1k $, but its only 2 piston caliper.
Any thoughts on that?

Yeah that's certainly the only con with those wheels. It makes your brakes look very cheap!

Rims and tire size is 19x10 275/30/19 up front and 19x11 305/30/19 in the rear with about a 3" lip.

Im lowered on BMR springs and only had to roll the rear fenders. No rubbing up front either.

Yet!


Looks great OP. 19s fit well on these cars. I have to say if I could do it over I'd go with 18s (not possible in my wheel but you get the point) because of the tire selection and cost, but 19s look damn good. And 505As are the best looking wheels for a TA.

I agree 19s are probably the best looking street wheel size. I wish mine were available in 19s!
