What do you think?

Leave the car with the sleeper look or add some sort of graphic somewhere?

just say no to graphics........ no matter what it is it cheapens a clean car, i don't even know why people consider this. maybe a "last of the breed" badge would look nice

Looks good the way it is, IMO, definitely woudn't "clutter" the car up with graphics, that color is too beautiful to take away from it with graphics.

Thank you for the comments. I was only considering maybe a black/silver firebird overlay on the front license plate area, blacking out the rear valance panel, and polishing off the firebird on the center of the taillights, nothing too crazy. What do you think?

Those rims looks amazing on your car...never ever take them off haha. i think you got the right idea with trying to accent the car with a little black because the gold blends with it really nicely. I say go for it, and i'm lovin the car...always thought it was real unique.

Those would be good additional visual mod's in my opinion.
Nice clean sides on that thing, ...
Black on the front bird, just to keep one theme on the black/gold thing going on!
Black on the headlight 'Pontiac', & black overlay on the rear 'Pontiac'. Then yer done, again IMO. Well, maybe black 'Blackbird' stripes, ...
Looks good!

you should try something not as harsh for your car, accents closer to your car color would make it more subtle, like bronze er something. may look pretty cool, def be the only one around

Interesting idea, maybe a 2 tone silver/dark silver bird on the license plate cover and one to replace the black Bird on the pillars behind the doors. You know, the first time I saw this car on Autotrader I thought it was hideous, but the price and options were right so I went to check it out. Man was I amazed when it pulled up, the gold really blew me away, but it doesn't seem to look as good on Camaro's. (I used to own a 98Z so I'm not bashing) Thanks again for the constructive comments. I really dig the new wheels, I hope they do not become as popular as some of the factory wheels.

Heh heh I was considering forced induction for the TA but I think I will revive my Grand National instead, I miss that rediculous low end torque of the turbo V6. Thanks again.
