Question opinions on badges/fill-ins

ok i have a black trans am. im going for that evel car blacked out look. my plan was all blacked except some nice polished TTII's to stand out. i currently have tinted out windows,blacked outside markers and front blinkers and fogs, also the 3rd brake light top, i wet did the tail light filler so no more bird,i debadged and removed the side moulding but im thinking now about some maybe a little more color to it to go with the TTII's (if i ever get some) so, stainless grills for the fenders and also perhaps a stainless fill in the for the pontiac in the back and even maybe a stainless bird cover for the plate cover in the front bumper, and eventually stainless grills for a ram air hood if i ever get one. im just worred the metal things will maybe kill the look in goin for and make it look to bling'd out

lemme know what u guys think i kows its really up to meand what i like but just wanted to hear some others opinions.

I dont really like the designs of the stainless grills, the fill ins and bird would look cool, maybe even get ram air in the same type of color.

You will not be disappointed in stainless anything

The grilles, fill-ins and front bird are all beautiful pieces. If you ever see them on a car, you may be more apt to get some, IMO.

Yea. for what your looking for. id say shaving your side molding/badge and getting a stainless front bird and rear fill ins would look best, or stainless side emblems as well if you'd like some there too over shaved

I'd go with the bird and filler. Not very big on the vents.

I really dont care for the vents on the ram air hood or fender. I think stainless pontiac rear inserts with a stainless front bird emblem would look real cool.

The front bird, the side vents, and the fill ins, do all 3, nice bit of bling without going crazy, take off the side moulding, and the door badges, looks smoooooooth

For the vents, something I've never seen anybody do is hit them with a black tinted clearcoat to make them look like black chrome. I think black chrome next to a black paintjob would give the vents the same effect as ghost stripes. Not too much but just enough to let you know it's there.
