    -Turn rotors and paint the hats black
    -Touch up black on calipers, put Trans Am decals on front calipers, clearcoat calipers
    -Remove Trans Am emblems on door
    -Check all fluids - replace trans fluid
    -Adjust tire PSI
    -Clean air filter
    -Vacuum/clean interior
    -Wash/wax
    -Swap stereos - I put the JVC CD/MP3 player from my grand marquis in the Trans Am in the summer and back in the GrandmaLS in the winter. I got used to having an CD/MP3 player with like 200 songs on a CD. Since the stereos in both the TA and GrandmaLS are both JVC there is no wiring involved besides unplugging and plugging it back in. I can have both cars removed and installed in under 15 minutes.

        Nice, I love the black w/ chrome lip look.

        I'm trying to decide myself what to get. I was leaning toward new Chrome rims since mine are just polished and then doing the originals in black since they are little beat up anyways. That way I got both.

          I've seen the stock Trans Am rim powder coated black and IMO I didn't think it looked that great. It's such a boring rim and when powdercoated it just looks cheap. Something you'd do when you were in high school and you tired stuff like that just to be different than your buddies sorta thing.

              10 spoke look a whole lot different than a stock TA 16 or WS6 17. There are a lot of stock rims that look great black. The ones you have on your Z28 look killer powder coated black.

                Looks great baby! You and Fred had the time to change springs for 4 hours and do brakes on his truck but you didn't have time to check my tire pressure and oil before I left for Ann Arbor?!?!? I date a jackass!

                      I found them on ebay. They actually sent 4 for some reason. i'd give you two of them but I tried to put them on last fall when it was kind of cold and messed one up. You can have one though!

                            Took an hour and a half to tear them out.....while drinking with my buddy and working 50% of the time.

                            Had them swapped out.....30-45min

                            Put them back in 1-1 1/2 hours.

                            So anywhere from 2 1/2-4 hours depending on how hard you work.

                            Took me 3 weeks but because the weekend I started was the weekend it was 40 and raining but started to cool down so I took off to get back to Ferris before it froze.

                                Thanks Mike! I did some painting on the rotors/calipers today to finish off the job.
