BlackBird stripes or not?
Hey guys! I'm trying to make a decision on whether I should put BlackBird stripes on my car. I already bought them, they are charcoal metallic, which match my side accents. I'm trying to keep everything subtle and not very flashy at all. But I was looking at my car tonight and trying to visualize what it would look like and I think it will look good, but I also like just the plain "Ram Air" sticker look as well. So i've decided I think both will probably look good, but now i'm trying to decide on whether I should go ahead and put them on or not?
What do you guys think, can you give me your opinions? I have a 2001 Black/Black WS6 with side "Trans Am" badge in charcoal metallic. Should I put the charcoal metallic BlackBird stripes on or leave them off? Thanks for any help guys!
Here is my website for some pics of what the car looks like.

That's a tough call man. It will look good with them but it looks fine as is. I say go for what you want. It'll look god either way.
BTW, I like the background you have on your Cardomain page.

I'd say do it, I am going to get the Black reflective blackbird stripes. They will match the black reflective inlay on the rear, and the black reflective overlays on the door emblems.

thanks, I'm having true duals ran this spring when I get the car back out but I am going out the back w/ the tips I have now. I think it would look good (assuming you would go with a flat black) mainly beacause it wouldnt stick out alot

Hey thanks for the opinions guys! I think they will look good when I get them on, I was just kind of hesitant. Also would you guys wait till it warms up to have them put on, or does the cold weather affect the decals and how they stick in any way?
Another opinion I would like if you would want to help out. I got my stripes from autotrimdesign and the set came with 2 stripes for the outside of the cowl with HP rating like normal. But it also came with 2 stripes to go along the inner cowl of the hood. So there are 4 stripes instead of just 2. Do you think I should put the extra 2 that go inside the nostrils on? I like just the 2 stripes like I've seen, but I'm not sure about the inner ones? What do you think?
Here is a pic of what i'm talking about. Do you think I should put all 4 stripes on, or just the 2? Thanks a lot!

I have all 4 on my car. I just put the inside two on to practice since it had been a while since I had put the 1st set on. Once I had all of them on I liked them so I left them on. I have more pics on my cardomain page.
I put my 1st set on in winter and they held up fine. This set I put on a warm day and it was just as easy. I will say that it took less time when it wasn't cold since my water/soap mix dried faster.
