Sail roof panel or the sail panels ?
And I'm assuming black. If you are talking about the roof and mirrors black then yeah I would. I love that look on a non black fbody. I saw one guy that also did the spoiler black that I think looked sick

Your car looks really clean as is, I would leave it. Sail panel if you do, not the mirrors.

The wing I saw was on an old forum it was an lt1 but still same wing.
If you wanna keep it clean it clean do the roof. You can buy black mirrors and keep the white if you don't like it

not a bad idea at all. and i googled a couple and some from ls1tech came up and they do look pretty good.

Saw it done (black under wing) on an som t/a that also had black tails and ceta. IMO, too buch black. Everything but under the wing looks good

cant find any pics with it under the wing, but thats what i was thinking. the wing would be too much.

I much prefer the white sail panel, white mirrors, white spoiler, and black CETA bumper. If you really feel like adding something, maybe some blackbird stripes. Here's a rough chop to give you an idea. You can get a moderate idea of the contrast in person using a $6 can of PlastiDip--Spray it on, let it dry, peel it right off.

yea leave it white, if u need more black accents get some black decals for the 'pontiac' on the headlight cover, and 'trans am' on the doors, and some vinyl stripes, much easier to reverse when u get bored of it
another sample image(also a chop)

thats a really hit or miss modd. Some of those cars look more like sunfire's and the wht lt1 looks like a Probe IMO. Maybe thats just the angle of the pics IDK.
Kind of like the orange one though

Yeah, the som was the only one that I really didn't mind. Still think pontiacs look better body color though.

leave it! white looks clean, when you do the sails black it doesn't make the car flow, on any other color it looks good but with white ehhhh

The part of the spoiler that faces rearward like the 3rd brake light. They painted to the seam on mine even though I said differently :-x
