Well, I got motivated and installed the Strano 35mm hollow front swaybar (performance red powdercoat) with the (silver chrome powdercoat) saddlebrackets. If you purchase the Strano swaybars you will have to powdercoat them yourself. Sam only offers the bars in a painted gray/black finish. The Strano swaybar is a very nice piece for the money and quite a bit lighter than most competitors bars at the same price. I will probably install the rear Strano bar next week. The install was very straight-forward and probably took me 1 hour (and that was screwing around taking my time) I also took a few pics of the the Stainless Steel polished Ram Air inserts and the chrome bird / Trans Am on the filler panel. I had put these items on a couple of months ago and just never got a chance to take some pics. Sorry for the low-light conditions on some of the pics. Amazingly the car does feel a tad more responsive to steering input. I was kinda surprised because I thought it handled well with the old BMR 32mm frt / 21mm rear setup. The Strano front / rear setup is considerably lighter than any other solid bar on the market On the way back to the garage I got a chance to completely open up the bird in 3rd gear and it felt good to put my foot in this thing and ring it's neck out a little bit I can tell a huge difference in throttle response and linear power delivery with the DELTEQ ignition setup. The 315/30/18 drag radials felt real gummy on monday evening with temp stuck around 95. Life is good, I'm happy for now !

The PONTIAC fill-ins are sitting in a box ready to be put on, but I have been to lazy to install the polished Stainless Steel PONTIAC inserts. I thought about doing the CETA mod before I install the new exhaust setup. What do you guys think I should do ??

Looks too shiney as usual..

I would do the paint, it would look good. I'm sure more than one person here would be happy to do a chop for ya from a couple angles to get an idea of what it would look like.

do it for sure. i did it and im glad i did, looks way better. would you do gloss black or like the dark grey it actaully is on the CETAs? either way would look badass.

i just realized, i think you and i are the only ones on PC sportin' that badge with those taillights.hehe.


anyways....
WHOLE CAR PICS NEEDED

I'm torn between a couple of colors for the CETA mod. My three choices are flat black / medium gloss black and charcoal. Not sure what to do with the color choice? I'm leaning towards the charcoal.

charcoal would deff look nice. i think i would go with like satin charcoal, which is similar to the factory CETAs. that would look pretty nice, so would straight black.
