New pics of my pile

**Goldcuffs** · 10-26-2008, 04:37 PM

Heres another update on my progress. Added a Tru-fiber hood, Hawk ceramic pads, 17 inch ZR-1 wheels and went from a 235-50-16 Coopers to 275-40-17 Riken Raptors. I can't believe the wat the car handles with that size tire. By far the best mod (if you want to call it that) that I have done yet. Next will be paint and then I will replace that ratty as sounding Flowmaster with a Magnaflo cat-back. It was starting to get dark, I'll try to get better pics tomorrow.

HAHAHAHAHA! atleast you recognize it...acceptance is the first step. soooo, what color are you settling on?

**Goldcuffs** · 10-28-2008, 04:30 PM

I'm going with silver (like the back half) with the black stripe on the side of the cowl part of the hood.(don't know what that's called)

Like this:
Anyone know where I can get these by the way?

I like those too. Was thinking about that for mine as well but in red.

Lookin' good!!

If you liked the jump in tire size for the handling....look into a Strano spring and Koni set-up. Handling ability is nuts for such a heavy solid axle car with that set-up.

They're called Black Bird stripes.

You can get them HERE.

I'd say get them painted on while you're at it.

personally I would say get decalling... mine are and I say it only because I was very certain that I would like them and I do I love them and can't see myself ever taking the stripes off. However, I have the option if I want to

Good choice. That's one of my fav pics of a T/A. the blackbird stripes really break up the color nicely without overpowering.

I always thought that car was pewter.

If your looking for stripes, I suggest you give this site a try:

http://www.3rdgendecals.com/

Despite the name, they do have 4th gen decals. I just got a set of white 35 anniversary ones for my red TA.
