A lot has changed since I last updated this page, I have a few new mods, performance as well as appearance, that have been added to the car.

I first tinted the windows 20% sides and rear:

Black vinyl overlays for the Trans Am and the Pontiac fill-ins on the rear bumper came next:

I then went with an aftermarket carbon-fiber air lid and a GMMG cat-back exhaust, no pics though. Then I had a buddy paint my rear bumper to mock the GMMG black-bird, or also known as the "CETA" mod (Collectors Edition Trans Am), shown here:

Then came the Pacesetter long-tube headers and off-road y-pipe, also swapped the plugs and wires while we were at it:

The base model GMMG tips didnt do the car justice, so I purchased a set of single 3.5" chrome tips, much better:

I found a nice deal on a used cam, 224/224 581/581 on a 114+2 LSA, so I bought some Comp 918 springs and hardened pushrods, by far the best mod I've done. It really woke the car up, I had it custom tuned and it's very civilized on the street, still running the factory stall converter (for now), the car went 8.30 @ 89.3mph on street tires in the 1/8 mile:

Then came the black-bird replica hood stripes, subtle, but they add a nice touch, this is the way the car sits now:

I'll continue to update as things change. I'm considering going with a set of chrome 18"s and also a bigger stall converter, either a Yank SS3600 or SS4000. As well as still wanting a nitrous kit, but all of that will have to wait a while as my wife and I are expecting our first child in September (baby boy)!! Thanks for looking.
