    The car kinda looks like this right now:


    Only difference is that the wheels have taller tires so the wheels gap isn't as bad and the wheels are completely black.

    I'm thinking black bumpers, headlights, tails, and a few other knick-knacks. If you can't tell I'm going black/silver.

    I'll get some better pics tomorrow if I can, a drop is the next on the list to.

    Thats what I would do if it was my car, but he wants it to be silver/black so it was a thought.

    and lower the car.

    Do some black headlights. That will look good with the black wheels. Silver calipers look great behind a black wheel. Thats what I did with mine.

    New headlights are on the to do list as well as some black overlays (arrowhead. badges, and the Daytona along the back) and a drop. My ball joints are starting to pop some so new control arms need to come first.

    Bumper fascias are painted black with Pontiac in silver on the back.

    I'll try and get some pics up here in the next few days.

    The wheels used to have a red pinstripe, not putting any red on the car.

    Might leave the calipers black, will be tinting the corners, tails are cracked all the way through so I'll eventually get new ones, the rear has silver inserts.

    The car is going to pretty much stay silver/black and will be lowered on Eibach's and GR2's after I get some new control arms.

    do something different with the tails. Try silver stripes on top of tinted tails.
