My project is done PICS INSIDE!!

for now its done we all know were never done with our cars but here is a pic of what it first looked like only had 1 pic not a very good 1 but you can see the progess that has been done, the first one is the pic of how it was before and the rest are after a few wet shots and then dry ones, changing the body kit to the trans am was very hard but it looks so much better and its everything a T/A is with my mods and engine as well, all comments are welcome.

Great work. I especially like how you have your exhaust tips tucked under, but out enough to be seen.

there 17x8.5 in front with 2' spacers and rear is 18x9.5 with 2000 ss camaro rearend, i wanted 18s all around but i got them off of a corvette that a guy was putting c6 zo6 rims on so i couldn't complaine got them with brand new tires for 500$, and yes i got my car back my stereo got jacked and the transmission was blown(tourqe converter n all as well), thankgod it was under warrenty, my engine back fires when i really step on it now so i have that to deal with, and the exhaust tips i actually had them tucked under even better before i got my exhaust done but the heat acutally cracked a penny size of paint off so i had to move them out 2 inches but still looks good not to gothy, im trying to get a video up once i'm done tunning it in.

sharp ta though, love the color.

I would find out who stole your car and kill off their family. that would make them think twice.

Ummmm ... did I miss something? You said the car was stolen and then the next thing you mention is shooting it again with clear. So, I guess you got it back unharmed?

yes it was stolen because of my stereo thats what was wanted, and i did get it back with a blown tranny, and broken steering colum and drilled out the lock on my hatchback. but its all fixed now. as of the clear its like painting my car again so they have to sand it all down so i won't be doing that.

Looks very nice

Not a fan of the ground effects but the color is amazing

Ive seen those Z06 wheels slapped on just about any grade and color of fbody on the road, but those look perfect for the color and stance of the car

Im really diggin it

Additionally for the tail lights...

Instead of those stick out like a sore thumb blackouts, why not have them tinted?

Common spray on window tint
I had a friend of mine do mine and he said it was a "medium" tinting (he does these sort of things alot)
No problems with the cops so far
They are still kinda red in the daytime and do not impeede the brightness of the light at all when they are on (not even the backup lights)

Just a suggestion
