Default tell me how this looks... stainless front bird & black drls *PS PICS*

I <3 Photoshop.



- black drls, will be done with vht niteshade like the sidemarkers
- stainless steel bird
- stainless steel ram air letters on the blackbird stripes - pretty unique i think

right now it has a black bird on the front. i have stainless letters on the back, and this way everything will be tied together. what do you guys think about it?

yeah i've seen them on there but i'm concerned how the light shines through. with the niteshade paint they still shine through fine on the side markers and 3rd brake light.

well the stainless bird is already on the way. i prefer it to be subtle and then ohhh when you see it.

and as for blacking out the fogs, i've always been a hater of blackouts so i don't wanna go too far with it.

I guess I'll give my advice since I own the same car.

A big NO on the blackout DRLs. I wasn't a big fan of the orange so I went to clear lights. Blackouts in general just don't work for the most part IMO.

Also, I wasn't a big fan of putting any stickers/inserts/stripes on the car, but since you've already decided to go that route, good luck!

Looks good to me. I have the GT Styling or whatever (from LM Performance) blackouts for the DRL's and the light shines through fine. I had my girlfriend look at the front of my car, because I told her I changed something. She couldn't find what was different. I had to take the key out of the ignition so they would turn off and THEN she saw them.

Idk bout the stainless on the hood...not sure cause i like the stripes the way they are. Front plate, def black in my opinion, the stainless is more sublte, maybe thats what your goin for, but overal I think your car is 99% done for the exterior, looks awesome

the stainless bird is an amazing piece... you won't be dissappointed... and you will get alot more contrast that in the photoshop at that angle. It will pick up alot of the sky and you will be able to tell its there without a doubt...

I have one on my red car and of course it is noticeable on red, but my brother just got one on his pearl white and it looks amazing too.

*EDIT* you also took my idea for the Ram Air over the stripe... I didn't want to say anything about it till mine was done, but i'm still not positive that I'm going with a blackbird stripe on the new paint. I'll have the stainless ram air regardless
