Default Need opinions on decals!!!!(From EVERYONE)

I have a red car and I want either WHITE or CHROME decals put on my TRANS AM door emblems, my bird on the liscence plate cover, and my PONTIAC letters on the back...

I need help deciding if I need White or Chrome! I would so see some pictures if any of you guys have any. I have an idea on the White Trans Am emblems(from "MAF00 WS6")<--I think thats the way his name goes.... but anyway I need to see some pictures of the back! and If anyone has any pictures of the chrome stuff PLEASE give you opinions. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

IMHO, I don't think that would look good.

I have seen those areas done in Black for a red car and it looked pretty good. For me, I don't think it should be done at all.

I have a Red WS6 T/A and I like the way the letters stand out stock.

If it must be done, white would look better IMO. I think white on red looks good when done with taste.

If you like chrome wheels, get the chrome trim to match. However, if you got white wheels... that changes everything. I personally would make mine a red/white scheme.

I like the white too.... but I dun think it would match the back or the car(the black tail lights and stuff)

IMO the black doesn't stand out enough and it looks too dull to me

Keep the opinions comming guys I need as many as I can so I can make up my mind

I say no chrome, no white...

how about a slight shade off from the color red that the car is? Either a bit darker or lighter? This would make them stand out in a classy non-ghetto way.

another alternative could be an aluminum non mettalic silver. This would also look good with out being real ricey looking.

These are just my opinions. Good luck with your choice

I vote for Black reflector type. I just put them on my 99 T/A WS6. They are black in the day and reflect white at night when light hits them.

IMO white stands out a bit too much, thats why I went with silver metallic, which I think goes nicely w/red. Chrome, is a bit much IMO. Whatever you choose to do, I am sure it will look bad a$$. Good luck, and be sure to post up some pictures when your done. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> Michael
