looks great !

and just so you know .. white grows on you after a while. i find white to be very classy. other colors are great too .. but now that i've had a white car for a while i've come to love white in color on everything.

can you email those pics to me? They are showing up as being deleted from the site where you once had them. I'm thinking about some enhancements on my TA as well and would like to see how yours turned up.

Thanks

Look good. I hate the term "rice". People need to stop jumping to that conclusion.

Now all ya need is some big blinging rims, and the car would look even better.

the term rice has gotten over rated

Use to be based on big spoilers, parts stickers all over sides of cars that is not installed on car, neon lights, hugh far cannons, etc etc etc.


Now the term rice is anything that you don't like on someone elses car.

Darren,

IMO an awesome appearance mod. That hoodbird represents everything that is firebird performance, the heritage of the machine. Ask your brother if he thinks the 70's models were "rice" to. They had loud hood birds on them! I like it. It's giving props to a long run of great performance vehicles and it looks good. I like how the wings run back to the rest of the striping. Very tasteful and nowhere near rice. Very nice.

Looks badass. I agree with Unforgiven1, I like the retro 70's appearance of the hood bird. Good job.

It's called the rally bird decal set. You get the two hood stripes, hood bird, two small birds for the sides, two top stripes and two spoiler stripes. The kit was actually designed for the WS6. Those hood stripes are measured to perfectly fit the ram air nostrils. Also it was made for a TA so since my formula does not have the raised spoiler I actually had a little decal material left over. I used some of that to light up the Formula badges.

I thought it looked sweet as hell and really gave the car some color. The pics don't do the car justice. The blue is a very bright blue that looks a lot like the 30th anniversary TA (which was where I got the idea for this). I saw a 30th anniversary TA once and I was like WOW that looks sweet. I'd like to get the blue rims too but I don't want to get crap for being a "poser". Plus I couldn't find any.

The decal kit is special made and they have tons of colors to choose from. And as you can see it looks good on a non-ram air hood but would also look good on a ram air hood if you had one or were planning on getting one.

Good Luck

That looks freaking pimp. If I still had the stock hood, I would definitely put that kit on it.
