Default 97 WS6 Decal Options

Looking for input.


My car comes back from paint next week and I realized I still haven't decided what decals I am going to put back on. So far I know I am keeping the WS6 badge, and the TRANS AM logos on the side.

What I have been debating is to keep the OEM looking RAM AIR decal on the hood, or go with a Matte/Flat Blackbird RAM AIR stripe. The color of the car is Dark Yellow Green Metallic and the Matte Black gives it that subtle look of customized, but classy.


Stock:



Blackbird (silver):


Flat Black:

I'm a fan of the BB stripes. Here is a example of them on a LT1 car.

I'd go with the matte black myself. Much more subtle than the OE white. Cool thing is that it is a decal and you can always change it if you don't like it

heres a pic of my silver blackbird stripes on my 97... love the way the silver pops yet looks subtle at the same time. It may look good on your color too depending on the rest of your theme

Thats going to look so good! I was going to do the same thing since I just got my hood last week. Instead I ended up painting all the raised ram air area in gloss black and the rest in green. In for pics!

Car is going into the booth tomorrow, so I'm pretty excited. I hoped to get a chance to get some pictures of the car during the prep, but my schedule sucks and I haven't been able to head over there.

Decals shipped yesterday, so those should be here shortly before the car is done and I'll snap some pics after they get slapped on.

looks good! got a shot a little further back? I might just do this when I paint the car instead of mine. Heres how I did mine. This was right before adjusting the fitment though.

came out looking nice. good job! I forgot how non-fun it was to install vinyl stripes. I just put the blackbird wingtip stripes on my car a few days ago... **** was stressful lol. I've been doing a lot of wrapping with the 3M scotchprint vinyl, which requires a "dry install", no liquid used like when you apply these, and I've gotten used to that stuff. So this seemed more difficult than i remembered.

Those look really good! Has anyone put red blackbird steps on a black WS6? I'm curious to see how this looks if anyone has any pictures.

I'll have to do it when I get back home. They are hard to see from far back unless you are at the right angle. Definitely a subtle look with the flat black on Dark Green.

What brand hood did you get? Looks like it fits fairly well.


OP: Stripes look great!! Good job.

I was told its a factory hood when I got it but I have no proof of that. It looked nice on the car I got it from so I just went with it.
