I love these things, rather inexpensive and they really set the car off i think.

nice, but imop you may need more black onthe ar to make it look perfect.. black vinyls over the trans am, maybe blackouts on side markers.. or clear markers... maybe black on the handle or a black a pillar or sail panel bird.. shrugs..

Did you try a anthracite photoshop? Maybe also a black bird front vinyl thing as well..

I almost got those on my ta *black and metallic silver theme* but opted for the black zr1's.

haha man your ta still looks new

any plans on lowering it? I dont think I am going to lower mine.. the 17x11's are just nuts for the rear and it wasnt lowered. I do like those stepped rims.. that is the only thing I disliked about the zr1's.. the outter lip is too thin on them.

Thanks for the comments, I have springs in the back for it. I wanted to get these wheels and tires on to see how they sat first. I'm also doing the LT thing tomorrow so gotta check the clearances on those too. But ill probably just end up saying **** it and lower it anyway.

Well I decided to not lower it because I put the long tubes on and they hang low. I'm gonna keep it as is for now.

You never had any problem's with the lowered LT's? Hmm, I might go ahead and do it then. It just looked kinda sketchy when I checked it out after the install.
