very nice clean looking car, i think you should just lower it , but do it with airride so that it can sit in the weeds when you park it.

quick chop, cant tell much of a difference with a pic like this but look @ the top and then my modded pic, you got a 2-3 inch lower.

Thanks for the kind words. However, although it does sit higher than it should from an aesthetic standpoint, I've had it for 6 years, and in the 6 years I've had it, nothing has changed, and nothing will change. It's a 22k mile original, and it's going to stay stock. GM made it sit like a 4x4, so it will continue to

...as far as the color, yes it is stock/original paint, GM code 74U, Flame Red Metallic...

Oh yes, the Stuart S TA. Way too nice to even photochop.

It is one of the nicest Trans Ams I have seen for that year.

Is that a Norwood car? Because I doubt a Van Nuys car would look like that after so long.

Stu the car looks OK...but I think you should add some 18"s, lower it, shave the fender vents, and remove the spoiler. j/k

The car is perfect. Dont change a thing.

That is one sweet T/A. I wouldn't change a thing on it either. It looks perfect just the way it is.
