No, but it's stating the obvious......TRANS-AM. It's just one more thing to take your eyes away from the car itself.

I'm not gonna lie.. when I first started modding my car back in the mid 90's I had wanted to put the P O N T I A C banner on, It's not as bold as the Trans Am font one and I don't think it looks bad, but it just isn't necessary...

i literally, completely forget that i have this thing on my car, until 1) i wash the car, and 2) when i see threads like this and remember, aye, i've got one of those. the SLP banner is actually very streamlined, and is really unnoticeable, plus it meshes well with the color of the car. hence why i forget i have it.

I like the tasteful ones, especially when it's a seriuos car, that shakes the earth. I'm not saying I'm gonna do it I just like to bounce ideas and see if I can get some feedback, I'm against most of them. I like the SLP one but that is the most common one so I'm not gonna get that one. I also see alot of stang kids with it.

when i bought it i wasnt by any means out to find a windshield banner. just happened to come across it at a time when i was spending a lot on SLP's products. so it wasnt really about standing out or anything, just kind of representative of alot of the stuff i was getting at the time. it really is the same thing as an SLP emblem, a Hurst emblem, etc. no difference, in reality it actually stands out less then the emblems. as for it being most common, i can honestly say i've never seen another car with it before.

If they are not paying you to put it on your car or giving you discounts, I wouldn't do a business decal.

You Camaro guys just don't understand what us Trans Am guys go through. I always get asked if it's a Camaro or people say "hey nice Camaro." So it would be nice to have another badge or decal to state the obivious to the Idiots and uneducated.

BTW I think they look and am not putting one on my car. Now LS1tech banner is another story.
