Gears of War TA Tail light center My Trans Am and bird where faded. I was going to sand it down, decal it and gloss it over originally. I decided I didn't want to wait for a decal to come in the mail so I was gonna spray paint it. Nope, too tedious, small shapes and too much room for error (although what I did has visible errors). So, I took the Gears of War logo from the game that just came out and the GoW font along with it and decided to spray paint it. Why not. Later I am going with the original plan but this is cool for now.
Sorry about the WALL. I don't like the TA though, that font could be better and I should have went with the original style and made it look like it was actually spray paint and not look like a decal.

I will redo it and have it say LS1 or something with good font and not GEARS of War font.
I think the TA looked tacky before I painted it. But I said **** it. I didn't do it over the keyhole because it would have taken away too much with this image. Skull dude would have had no teeth. I do like the other one posted. I like hoe you painted it black first. I did not. And it looks... Okay.
I am thinking of doing my hood the same theme of painting it something cool. I am throwing it away due to it is damaged from the preious owner. Thus the car was sanded down by a rough grit and spray painted black by the previous owner. I have to correct this lemon and have fun doing so.

That's actually pretty neat. I kinda dig it 
Gears of War has such a great emblem. You can put it on anything and it just looks like a normal skull type logo.
I think the "LS1" on the decal's a decent idea, but I'd think nothing at all would be better. The letters make it tacky, personally.
