Opinions, please

Ok. Here's the scenario. I got a 86 Sport Coupe I'm fixin up. (Please, no one say get an 8, cuz I just sunk a grand into the tranny.) Here's what I'm planning on doin:

Original paint colors (red w/ silver on bottom)
Gray interior from RS, Z, or IROC to upgrade the present SC interior
IROC grid pattern tail lights

Other ideas I'm toyin w/:
Z or IROC steering wheel (no airbag)
IROC hood

Anyone think I should put gfx on it?
Thanks for input.

first thing you should do is Ground effects. since you have the camaro, do 91-92 style, sharp look... i want em on my TA, but i dont wana go through the pain to cut up the front part and make it match.

glass T-tops
bone stock sloth of an engine LG4
T-5 tranny. thank god, i couldnt stand an LG4 auto.
Plans for an LT-1 or LT-4,
also plans for dual flowmaster exaust.

Got a corvette when i was 16, paid for it myself, screwed the engine up (idiot light didnt work, and i trusted the guy when he said he just changed the oil), and it turned into a project car.
now my TA is my daily driver. not a bad one, but it needs to be faster.

I have to agree with the gfx- get 91-92.They look so much better with the scoops.
