Here are mods big and small...

TINT July 2005
Hot_Shot_GTA's 1989 Pontiac Trans Am Retinted the hatch and passenger door. 5% on the hatch, and 15% on the passengers to match the drivers, (not a perfect match but close enough).

EXHAUST TIPS August 2005
Hot_Shot_GTA's 1989 Pontiac Trans Am Bought chrome tips to get rid of the gold ones. They're 3.0" inlet x 16" long x 3.5" outlet. Also got 2.5" - 3.0" adapters to get them to fit, and they look alot better now. Hot_Shot_GTA's 1989 Pontiac Trans Am
Hot_Shot_GTA's 1989 Pontiac Trans Am The tone also changed. I can hear the exhaust more in the car. I didnt think they would change the sound at all, but it did.

CLEAR SIDE MARKERS / SILVERSTARS October 2005
Hot_Shot_GTA's 1989 Pontiac Trans Am Purchased clear side markers from Procarparts off eBay. Great item, but shipping cost more then anything. Installation was pretty straight forward, all I needed was amber bulbs. Here's a comparison of new and old.

Sylvania Silverstar headlights and foglights were also added. Pics coming soon.

MISC SPRING MODS April 06
Drop in K&N air filter
New Radiator
180* thermostat
Throttle body coolant bypass mod
New Hatch guides

SUSPENSION May/June 07
Hot_Shot_GTA's 1989 Pontiac Trans AmStarted getting quotes to get my suspension stuff installed and welded. Here's the TDS Steering Brace. This ties the front subframe together. Think of it as a strut tower brace for the bottom of the car. It also strengthens the chassis and takes pressure off the steering box, cause they tend to get stress cracks without it.

Things waiting to be done/installed...
Advanced timing
UMI Subframe connectors
UMI Single adjustable lower control arms
UMI Single adjustable panhard bar
UMI Lower control arm relocation brackets
New Headlight motor bushings
JET Fan switch

This all cost quite a bit with shipping and all, and they dont even make any big power. But all I wanted to do to the car first was make it more durable, efficient, and prepare it for the "bigger" mods.

Will have pics once they beome available
