I've since repainted the calipers pewter to match the car as well, to be more of a clean, understated look, but no good pics yet.

I'm more for the less is more approach. I've been kicking around removing the windsheild wipers considering I don't even drive the car with the t-tops in, so there's no real need for the wipers.

Edit: found a pic....

Is everyone using the same 'heat and fishing line' combo to get off the side moldings? I envision going through a lot of fishing line.

No need for fishing line, at least I didn't use it. Just use a hairdryer and warm up the areas or leave it out in the sun for a while and then slowly start to pull them off. The key here is 'slowly'. If there is any residue left, a quick shot of wd-40 or the new fluid film that you can get a free sample of, will take it right off without any harm to the paint.

To me, nothing else on the road looks like a Trans Am, so there's no need for badges to spell it out.

Look at all of your high end custom builds, there's no badges or decals on any of them.

Just curious, does anyone that has a black T/A still have their side badging?

I might want it.

I can't stand the door molding. The "Trans Am" doesn't look bad but I took mine off anyway. I can't believe I left it on as long as I did.
