my other ride
was a beautiful day last sunday and i was able to take some pics of my 99 ta. i haven't done any mods to it yet other than pulling off the front 5% tint and installed 35% back on and of course wash her. the previous owner put some ugly *** chrome front plate overlays on the fire chicken and flame guages overlays (oh please!). i'm not really in favor of the z06 wheels either but for now i have no choice. oh yeah forgot i put brand new Nexen 3000 tires on bcuz the old tires were badly cracking and splitting on the side wall. i also took out the heavy *** sub box and amps and installed the T-tops holders that were missing. now i'm radio-less lol. going to be dropping the TA off at triple edge performance this month and do light mods to it nothing too crazy. i'll keep you guys update.

Very nice Ryan! Are you gonna take to it shows this year? You have to check out my thread on the Black Dog car schedule.

I hope to see you at some of these shows along with Tim. He's making something for Precious and I hope he has it done by car show season!

I love your TA, and agree the ram air hood makes them look mean. I also agree that you need some different wheels, so feel free to send me yours as they would look great on my Camaro. It is on a flat front tire right now. Poor thing is so neglected.

Do you hate the tires because it's a GM design on your car. We all know how much you love your furd tires :P
Good lookin' Bird. I think you need to ditch the cowbells and get some proper exhaust tips on that thing
