Default Another Hood Bird : )

Well I finally figured out how to upload pics on here (not a computer savvy guy). I bought a hood bird on ebay and had a graphics shop put it on and I think it turned out great! What do you guys think?

Looks Good! I also like the color of your car... Thats probably the only other color I would have chosen had I not gotten mine in black... .. btw.. what kind of fog lights are those?.. Do they light up a bright yellow color?...

Thanks man! Black would have been the other color I would have chosen if I hadn't run across this one. Yea the guy before me put them in but they light up a pretty bright yellow. Honestly Im not sure what brand they are.

Im not usually a fan of big graphics (i only got Blackbird stripes on my SOM) but I think the Phoenix looks pretty damn good!

On a side note, I have BOTH a SOM WS.6 and a Black WS.6 lol.

Haha I wasn't sure of how it would look before I got it. I figured if it looked trashy I could always remove it. But once they got the first half of it on (2 peice) I couldn't help but smile

Looks pretty good man, you think it would look any better if the wings were a little wider up top? Possibly on the sides of the scoops instead of on top of them or maybe that would be too big lol.

Either way looks sweet man.

Thanks guys for the compliments, You could probably get the bird made from a graphics shop with wider wings up top. Most of the decals that I found only had this option since the bird was originally designed for the later 70's T/A's.

It looks clean. There was a thread a whole back of a.. SS or TA. I don't remember but it had been airbrushed sick and had Casper airbrushed on the back and flames on the side of the car.

No hate what so ever man it looks clean. To me the ws6 hood is why I don't like the birds on 4th gens it just has to many curves and doesn't flow well. But that's just my opinion at least it was something different and not stripes.

Ehhh Idk Not bad but not my favorite. In the end its your car and as long as your happy thats all that should matter. Maybe if the bird was more 4th gen style rather than early 2nd.
