i like it , looks good , i too would say lose the front plate , even if it is illegal in your state. I havent been pulled over for no front plate and my dad has never had a front plate on his 77 trans am that he bought in 76 and never got a no front plate ticket . I think it would look good with the black headlight buckets , and get some 18s for the car.

I think it looks great now but I have to agree that a set of Ronal's would look pretty awesome on there.

If your gonna go with blck headlight buckets you should probably go with a black grill to tie it all together.

i think its at 50%

right around are legal limit...

also the front plate stays i took it off the first week i had the car got pulled over and got a warning...the place i live i drive in front a cop station all day and next to cops all day...it wont work.

Ive had the idea of blackout headlamps...as i know they did come with the anniversary package but im liking the more clean smooth mostly one color look. I dunno just to me it looks best.

Im not really sure what my next big mod will be...I owe alot of money from the accident its about 1/3 paid off so far, but then i think i wanna just save my money and get a used T56...i absolutely hate this auto thing

If i decide to improve appearance, i think id go with an SS hood before some 17s

i dunno im workin on redoing my interior right now so we will see what comes up

Thanks for all the compliments guys

Steve

I like the headlight buckets matching the paint color. Also think it would be neat if u got 17 crager S/S wheels. As for looks other than that leave it and do drivetrain stuff so u can enjoy it. The car looks sharp just needs some bigger wheels to set it off. And i still dont understand what people see in ronal wheels yack.

Dude, that is one beautiful ride. I think those wheels are too oldschool for the car. Your next mod should be the Ronal wheels! I like the grill either way, just make sure your buckets match. That is my favorite factory 3rd gen combo as far as paint goes!

Go look at the white Camaro on Hawks site with the Ronals. Looks damn good. So does nick418's car. I've included a pic of his car. Snypers would be an excellent choice as well; but please do NOT, get the TT2's. The absolute most played out wheel in existance. There are a lot of custom billet wheels out there that would make that car a top 10 on this site, as far as I'm concerned. But that is a lot of jack for wheels.

Thats pretty funny there are way more thirdgens on this board with ronal's then TT2's anyday. Now if u compare ronal's on a thirdgen VS every single other car that has TT2's then i would agree there are more vehicles with TT2's then ronal's. But we are talking about thirdgens.

You really think there are more ronals on this board than TT2's? It seems like I see way more TT's. I could be wrong though. I have always liked the TT's, as far as the design. I am just sick of seeing set after set. Kinda sucks that unless we order a set of custom rims, we are very limited in choices for our cars. It is kinda weird; I used to hate the Ronals, now I like 'em. I love the SLP Zr1's, but no 17x9.5 rules them out for me. Peace!
