Cool Pics of my newly Accented TA

Finally got some pics. My dad did all the Accent work back home in South Dakota where the car is and he was cool enough to take some pics and send them my way. Some of the colors turned out really bright, just the way the lighting was that day I guess. Plus my grilles turned out a little purple, even though they're blue with red outlined. But yeah, what all was done is this: the 'Trans Am' on the sides are red, the side grills are blue outlined with red, the calipers are blue, the front license plate cover was painted red white and blue (there WAS a white 'NATE' painted on, but I had my dad take that off). Then the engine bay was changed a bit, blue wire loom and what-not was added to accent the Holley powershot filter (seen through the MTI clearlid) and the blue smooth air bellow. But yeah, check it out and let me know what you all think (Link in Sig). BTW... if I don't like what it looks like in person (haven't seen it yet ) I'm gonna go with chrome accents on the outside (from Afterthoughts). Thanks guys, hope you enjoy...

Looks good. Very unique.

You should also do something about the center caps on your wheels. I have the same wheels as yours on my black Formula. I painted the center caps black and they look much better. I can't stand the way GM puts ABS all over their wheels.

Too much painting for me, but different strokes for different folks. As long as you like it ENJOY IT .

Edit: I like the red white and blue flaming chicken symbol very cool.

Thumbs up

The paint is a little bit to glitzy for me, however you have a beautiful car, and I think the colors go very well.

Your car has a very nice clean look to it.

Thumbs-up on the painted calipers and the painted side vents. I'm not really big on the that painted firechicken on the front end, though. Looks a little too red-necky for me. And your name painted there too... Hmm. It just reminds me of the big rigs you drive past on the highway, and you'll see something like "Big Jim" painted on the door of the semi. Still, if you like it, that's cool, and that's what counts.

Ahhh. I guess I didn't make it clear enough on my original post. I had my dad take the "NATE" off the firechicken plate. I thought it wasn't that great either. Nice thought of my dad, but just not something you do to a car, ya know? Thanks for the comments though, appreciate it.
