what kind of material are you looking to get/ how much are you looking to spend?

me personally. i'd only recommend stopping by www.emblempros.com for all of your overlay/fill-in pieces. quality is top-notch, and the prices aren't bad at all. and they have, IMO, the best looking options to choose from, thats my first choice for any of that stuff.

for budget purposes, you can always go with vinyls. check out ebay for some really good deals, or check out http://www.autografics.com/pages/birds4.htm -they got everything you should need

you are thinking of the gauge overlays. the op was asking about the badging overlays. to the op WS6 store/afterthoughts auto sells the vinyl, emblem pros sells higher quality stainless

the overlays is what just goes over the original ones right? how well do they stick? i want red ones to match the bird on my tail. I looked on emblempros.com and they look amazing. im guessing the front bird they refer to is the front plate filler right?

yep, the overlays fit directly over the stock emblems. they have a 3M tape backing. so all you do is peel the plastic covering the tape, and stick em on. very easy, and the tape is VERY strong, so you dont have to worry about them coming off.

i think your car would look great with all black overlays/fill-ins. and if you dont like the rear bird being red against the color of your car, i'd say just take the rear panel off the car, sand it down with 250 to remove the original bird and then repaint it black. then buy some replacement decals in another color, i think a chrome would look really good. aplly them, and then all you have to do is re-clear coat the panel and you're done.

IMO, the CETA mod is a MUST for all trans ams, except black. i've never seen it look bad before. if you want am idea of how it'll look on your car check out:

the reflective stripes will only be noticeable at night. so when another car drives toward you they will see your decals really good. thats about the only benefit you get. and i'm not even sure if i'd consider it a benefit
