Think the exterior is done...you tell me

Just got these on this past week but the car has been sitting in the garage getting a new intake manifold so I couldn't even take it out. Well...it went on today and here are some pics. Any ideas or suggestions to improve the look?

I am not a huge torq thrust wheels fan, but they look nice. You still have a sweet ride! BTW - I know we have the same fog lights, the Hella Optilux 2500. The 55w bulbs they came with were so bright at night I couldn't use them around traffic, so I swapped them out for 35w bulbs, and aimed the fogs a little lower, they are fine now. have you run into the same issue?

I have new hella housings with much better optics with a drop in H4 HID Hi/Low kit. I don't even need the foglights and just use them for the angel eye at night.

It looks awesome all ready if you’re really bored you could try painting the calipers and putting decals on them. I also like a 1 color scheme for the emblems, like the pontiac and bird on the bumper maybe make them silver to go with the trans am emblems on the side.

Lower it.

Edit: Remove the side molding too.

I don't see much else to do either... Nice ride.

Mecham tips or clones?

they are mecham tips...however I would not recommend them due to the crappy chrome plating quality. This is my second set and the first set got bubbles and the chrome came off. These are doing fine so far but if they deteriorate again, I'm going with something else.

As mentioned above I would black out the rear lights. Get some drilled/slotted rotors and yes you should paint the calipers as well. And since you have the front side markers clear, you should do the same for the back. Nice and smooth looking car.

Thanks for the tips guys. I guess no one can tell, but the calipers are painted black (didnt want to show them off since they are the crappy stockers). I just took off the sidemolding which came out great. I'm debating on getting clear markers for the rear or VHT'ing them. I sometimes think the rears being clear would stand out too much.
