I heard some EFA guys have done it too on silver and pewter cars.

Curious on what you guys think....

I Was Thinking To Doing It To My Car. But I Dont Want To Paint It On, More Like A Huge Black Sticker To Cover It Up.

I wouldnt do it to my car ( not that it would make sense because its already black) but if I had a diff color I dont think I would. But I dont think its a bad idea and would look nice

I like that look better than the body colored top, especially with tinted windows.

Yeah, not firmiliar with the Firebird/Trans Am/Formula line, but I think monochromatic (all one color; C-pillar and mirrors body color as well) paint was offered in 95, but wasn't really that known, and then in 96 was when people started getting their Camaros with monochromatic paint. So from 93-94, black mirrors and C-pillars were the only option.

(I could be wrong on that year, tho, maybe offered in 96 and popular in 97? something like that... it was in the early years of the 4th gen)

i saw a red ws6 with a black top, tinted windows, and black zo6 rims and it was probobly one of the best looking 4th gens i have ever seen, however i think if you were JUST going to go with a black top and not "complete" the look it may look out of place

I have a white LT1 with my top painted black, and my rear valance on the bumper painted black. Looks very nice and clean.

Looks good. Also, I think the mirrors should match the sail panel.

on Firebirds i agree, on Camaros, the mirrors need to be body color

i like the black tops, they look great with blacked out windows

ive thought about having vinl grafics put over mine...just solid black so i could remove it later if i wanted..

i do like how that looks. it is different, but to the masses it would look normal. i thought about doin that to my T/A. i would keep the mirrors body color though. its different, simple, and looks like it belongs.
