Re: Looking for suggestiongs...

Well the only thing I really don't like is that in this picture the front looks to high. As for an opinion, I personally like some contrast. So would do a stripe or maybe some mild pin striping, at least a decal, something to break up all that white.

Re: Looking for suggestiongs...

I definetly wouldn't suggest a LS1 Front End conversion. The LT1 Trans Am's can look sweet with a little bit of work. Get a LT1 WS6 hood, some wheels(17" or 18") lower it, and accent it in black(Rear Fill-Ins, Turn Signals, window tint). After that, that TA will be bada**. The mods can be subtle, but make a big statement. White F-Bodies, when done right, can be some of the best ones.

If you would also be a little more specific with your title, you would get more responses. Like "Looking for suggestions for my LT1 Trans Am".
Zack has ones sweet LT1, theres a link to his site at the bottom. There are a handful on this board, I'm coming up short with names right now though. http://www.cardomain.com/id/pontizack

WS6 hood, some sort of wheels, and you need some contrast like black trans am emblems or something.

Re: Looking for suggestiongs...

Well, heres what I have already paid to have done, waiting on free time... Ceta conversion- Everything; Roof, Mirrors, bumper, wheels, all of it black

Then I am gonna do drilled and slotted rotors/pads more out of neccesity than looks. * I know that D/S rotors provide no proformance gains due to todays great pads, but I like the look, and I need rotors anyways *

After that I want to get some clear corners

Then a drop

Re: Looking for suggestiongs...

Some one stole my Corsa dual dual's... I was pissed, but I shouldn't have been so lazy about getting them welded better, I had them tacked on with a stick just temp until I got the car to a better welder than myself...

Oh yea, no 18's, 17's might even be out of the question, prolly gonna go with a 15 inch *wink wink* I was thinking that if I can't lower it due to all the speed bumps I go over daily, I may just fill the wheel wells with rubber

Re: Looking for suggestiongs...

thats pretty close to how mine used to look, but its a WS6 with polished 17's and ram air. other than that pretty similar. i did some small paint work that really set mine off, and im waiting for some vinyls from Brent to really finish it off. pics in sig.

That sucks, thats why my Corsa tips are firmly welded on. If you're looking for new tips you can buy really nice knock off Corsa tips on ebay for 100 or so. If you do a search on LS1tech you'll find some info. Its a lot better than paying $300 for new real Corsa tips.
