What did you do with your Trans Am today?

**jonnyman** · 08-12-2013, 10:08 AM

put in the black stainless Pontiac inserts in, not sure if I like them. Makes the rear look a little busy.

I think it looks good but I think a grey or black would look better.

I had the same issue with some vinyl overlays for the "Pontiac" on the headlight. It looked grey. I had another set sent out...same problem. So I just pulled out my paint brush and with a very steady hand....got'er done!
BTW John....Looks nice, not too busy... my opinion

Lol I saw stainless but not "black stainless" and I thought the camera just made it look that way for some reason. In that case I think it looks really good.

Man, I love the color of that car. I don't think it's too busy either, I think it's a subtle addition and something that's not going to steal the show, so to say...

New motor mounts. Massive pain in the ass for the first time doing them. Pretty sure i learned a few tricks and can do it a lot quicker if had to do them again.

They were off of a c5. Already had both cut outs for the fuel lines. From what I understand that is the 97-98, and then they changed to just one fuel line.

***SMWS6TA*** · 08-14-2013, 07:25 AM

you'll need to trim the passenger side in the back some too.

Finally installed Hurst. Why did I wait so long?! Makes it feel like a totally different car. The way it should ..Haha

Is it a shorter shifter than the stock one?

**RONS98TA** · 08-15-2013, 08:43 AM

Took mine out for a drive last nite in the cool MD air, and had some dude in a silver porsche carrera s rev at me. So I played along. We get on a nice open stretch on I97, I let him get the jump, then blew past him like he missed a shift or hit the brakes by mistake!! LOL. He got back next to me, rolled down his 5% tinted window, gave me a smile and thumbs up. Not bad for a $17k (mine) good ol' amer-can muscle!!

**20ws6speed01** · 08-15-2013, 12:11 PM

So much shorter. Grabbing 2nd gear has never been so easy.

**robcas47** · 08-18-2013, 12:22 PM

Installed this 8" Bazooka, it's ported and sounds decent. also installed a 6.5" pyle sub in the r/s sail panel. I haven't had any speakers in the sails since I got the TA, my son was a toddler back then and I wanted to protect his lil ears. He rides up front with me now and I keep the cut-out closed and the tunes lower so I figured upgrading to a full system was due. Sort of feel like a poser with this sub but I get a kick out of it. Right now it's wired in as the l/s sail panel sub and running off the stock amp. Suprisingly it hits pretty decent, will probably add an aftermarket amp to power the two sail panel subs and the front door speakers whenever I get around to replacing the door speakers, will probably just wait till those give out since I'm content with how it sounds for now.
