OPINIONS NEEDED PLEASE!!!!!!
OPINIONS NEEDED PLEASE!!!!!! OK <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Kind of getting bored with the looks of my WS6. Just thinking I need a change? Here is what it looks like now.
<img src="http://home.ptd.net/~badbird/Picture_01000.jpg" alt=" - " />
What I had in mind was this. I LOVE the yellow. but was thinking of something more subtle? stealthy? wicked looking. I was thinking either dark grey decals, just enough to know there there <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> and black calipers with chrome TA decals? OR Polshed aluminum overlays and rear "Pontiac" inlays from MBA. They are making the "PONTIAC" inlays now. But I know it would be nothing for them to whip up a set of thin alluminum overlays for the rest. Also with polished aluminum grilles to match? OR stay yellow and get rid of the calipers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> . Dunno Just float some ideas my way. Any and all contructive ideas and comments are always welcomed. OH BTW I also have a complete yellow BMR suspension which can't be seen much since the ground FX are on.

Re: OPINIONS NEEDED PLEASE!!!!!! I've been following your progress since you GOT the car (I think I was first to suggest the GFX too and showed you the ZXR from ProjectTransAm as a reference) and I've ALWAYS liked the yellow. In fact if I had gotten a black car I was going to do the yeloow thing too... maybe even on NBM. I'd personaly stay with it. If you're getting bored with it then how about going the other extreme and going MORE wild with maybe some yellow 30th stripes or something? It's a badass car that comands attention... make it scream at people even louder. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: OPINIONS NEEDED PLEASE!!!!!! 1 BAD BIRD, I love the way your car looks, I personally thing charcaol or silver would tone it down a bit. I myself prefer subtile looks with the little mods that stand out, for instance removing the body molding and Trans Am logos. I always get asked "something on you car looks different, but I can' tell what it is?" Things like that is what I go for. Painted calipers in charcoal is one of my upcoming mods. I wish you luck! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: OPINIONS NEEDED PLEASE!!!!!! First and foremost, your car looks GREAT <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Things I think you should consider changing:
- Keep the calipers yellow, except for the piece of the caliper that is like a half rectangle (not sure of the name). Paint that graphite grey or black.
- Get chrome baffles for your hood. It looks a little overwhelming with those yellow.
- Lose the amber side markers. They stand out like a sore thumb. Do they make clear ones for TA's?
- Maybe remove the Trans Am window sticker. I've always thought that detracts from the overall appearance and that they are "cheesy".
That's just what I would do to your car. Either way, it looks mean as hell the way it is. Good luck with it!

Re: OPINIONS NEEDED PLEASE!!!!!! Love the black & yellow scheme...I think some really subtle stripes down the snorkles would be really nice...grey or a light color along those lines...leave all the yellow on there, looksa real good...

Re: OPINIONS NEEDED PLEASE!!!!!! While your car looks superb as it is, I do think
a more "toned down" accent color would be nice, too. I like your idea with dark grey/charcoal. I'm
a big fan of the "stealth" look. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: OPINIONS NEEDED PLEASE!!!!!! Not many people use yellow as a second color where yellow would be a good choice sometimes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
Yellow on black looks good! Nice car.
If you think it looks good, go for it!
I tend to like yellow on red <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
