  • Found some ambition.. Before and After pics

    Found some ambition today and made some cosmetic changes to the rear of my car.. I replaced the center tail panel with one painted Silver(it's also chameleon paint so will change colors with the light) and replaced my WS7 badge with a WS6 badge(I don't know why the original owner put on an aftermarket hood and then rebadged it a WS7) I felt it was a discredit to the car having the WS7 badge as the car is a WS6.. I also went with the carbon fiber vs the normal red badge.. I couldn't get a real good pic because of the light, battery is unhooked and didn't feel like hooking it up to move the car into the light. I'm pleased with the changes, looks like a whole new car to me now...lol 1st pic is how it looked when I bought it, 2nd pic is now. Oh, I also put the red letters in the PONTIAC(but that was done a couple months ago..

              the ws7 badge was for people who took t/as and added ws6 hoods. if you said he put the hood on afterwards thatd explain why he put 7 not 6. also what does your name/plate mean *confused*

                Right, I knew that WS7 was for people who took regular TA's and added Ram Air hoods.. This car came with a ram air hood(it is a real WS6), but for reasons unknown to me he(the original owner) put an aftermarket hood on, took off the WS6 badge and put the WS7 on..

                I was in the Army for 22 years and was in the 1st rotation into Iraq. Each rotaion has it's own number, I believe they are up to OIF4-5 now. I was there from 20 March 2003 to 3 March 2004.. I retired from the Army last year.. Here's my RPO door codes below:

                    Thanks Mike! Should be even funner in the Spring, gonna put some M.T. drag radials on.(they're coming out with 18 inch sizes in the spring). Hopefully with the suspension work and some good tires we can hook up!!
