cg91ta,

You have done a beautiful job with your TA!!!

I like it a lot. Does that Arizona sun cause any serious fading problems for your paint or upholstery?

Definitely. Most of the cars more than a few years old have some sort of paint damage. Hard to believe most of that is original paint. I got lucky and found a car someone cared about and took care of. Not only was it garaged, but everything was covered with blankets and towels the first time I sat in it.

It currently has the usual fading on the top between the t-tops and hatch glass. Zaino REALLY helped in that area. You can't even see where it was fading anymore. The car has the wettest looking shine it has ever had on it thanks to Zaino.

I've been debating getting the windows tinted for the last 2 years. Prior to this Trans Am, I owned a Medium Blue Mettalic 89 Formula. I had the rear window custom tinted with a 2 1/2 foot firechicken right in the center. The wings were silver tint, with the inside of the wings in blue tint. The rest of the car, minus the windshield, were tinted 30%. I want to do something similar with this one, its a matter of time and money. I have had this whole "keep it stock" mentality as a major hurdle as well. We'll see.

As always, thanks for the compliments!
