Well, mine's not badass yet, getting there so I guess at this point it's half-***...
I had a trans cooler opening cut into a repop front valence I like, I removed the driving lights, they'll be behind the grill or mounted flush at the outer edges like the Shelby's and '69's.
I lowered the car so the tire tread would sit as close to level with the fender lip as I could, 1" front drop springs/Shelby 1" drop, mideye rear leafs. I am going for the TransAm Series look and will be painting it CandyApple red (original color) and am going to black out the hood/top of fenders and headlight buckets only with satin black. The TT D's spokes will be painted with the same black as well as the rear ribbed insert (~rare option that kind of disappears being red also) in the pic above.
The car is in pieces at the moment being reassembled after numerous upgrades.
The interior is deluxe with red and I added fox body seats that I will get TMI recovers for that'll match the original stitching.
