Appearance mods for my green Trans Am. Opinions please!

ok guys, this is what i have been thinking about doing.

eibach sport lines ( if my x pipe doesnt end up being to low )
5% tint all around
black outs on the rear tailights
night shades on the third break light and front turn signals
black painted calipers
black painted rear bumper section like the aniversarry addition TA's

How do you think that would look? Give me your opinions to do it all, some, or none!

Alone I'd say no, but with everything else, it should tie things together nicely

This is where my car would have been in a couple of weeks, minus the black outs. Check out my cardomain. I had the black rear and lowering springs on before I got hit. I bought the black caliper paint and night shades to do over my summer, but my car got hit. If my car is totaled, which I should know in a couple of days, then I'll sell ya the paints and I have two chrome Trans Am decals if you want.

Re: Appearance mods for my green Trans Am. Opinions please!

it would look good if you got black wheels imo. i like what you're doing to the car, but thats something i would do myself to add more black to my car if i got black wheels.

What kind of paint/color did you use for the lower section of the bumper? The car looked good before it got hit! I'm assuming that the decals are for the door badges, which are removed from my car, along with the bird on the front bumper and the bird/trans am on the center piece out back. PM me about the paints.

I have thought about black wheels, but I'm not a 100% sure i would like them after they were on the car and i saw it in person.

I think I'm going to go ahead and do all of it, but I need to take a look at my exhaust before ordering springs. Ill post pictures in a while, when its all done!

Well itll be a little bit, I'm hoping to have it done before the fourth of july, but I still don't know what kind/color of paint to use? I've heard of some people spray painting it out of can, and thats probably what I will try first. I dont want to use flat back, or gloss black, so I might try to find some semi flat, and if I dont like it, just sand it down and do it again.

Also, I'm not going to have any exhaust tips, so hopefully painting the rear section black with help make it not so noticable.

My rear lower section is black and so is my top. As for the paints bad news for you but great news for me, my car is repairable so I'll be using all of it, sorry. As for your VHT night shades paint you wanted, I just tried some on some old turn signals and it looked like a dark purple in the sun. Just a warning, might wanna try it on something else first. It looks black in the shade, but in the sun it doesn't.

When my car is done, I post new pics on here. I should be getting a WS6 hood, a custom paint job , and a few extras.

Did you spray your lower section with a gun? or did it come out of a can? Also, is it gloss black?

My lower section was done at a shop when my car got hit the first time. It is gloss black. I had thought about flat, but ended up gloss. The body shop thought it looked cheesy flat.
