Default Re did my filler panel/CETA

Finally got rid of the third gen bird on my filler panel/black CETA. Went with the updated bird and a gunmetal CETA to tie my front bird/stripes/pillar birds together.

Old rear shot


New rear



BB stripes/custom nosebird

Some clearcoat was put over the bottom half of the letters when I had the bumper repainted about a year and a half ago (accident). I tried removing the stickers I had in the letters and that's what happened. I need to go fill it in and buy the acrylic PONTIAC letters to cover the old stickers up

Not bad. Might just be the crooked angle you took the pic at, but the Trans Am lettering looks slanted.

Looks good! I'm partial to the third gen bird myself as it gives the LTX birds some distinction from the LS birds. Even got those stiched into my headrests and love it more than the LS sytle as you just don't see it:

Yes, had my black CETA that night. Your wheels would complete my exterior, want to trade by chance?
