yeah, i might try something with the PONTIAC in the rear, but i always liked the clean look of the stainless fill-ins. i was thinking of cutting the pheonix on the rear filler panel and maybe that would fill everything in a bit more.

thanks for the compliments guys. keep the input coming.

In order for it to work you need to black out your tails....i had a dakota RT with a similiar theme many years ago...

Indifferent about it ... I like all the accents and how they stand out but Im not sure how the green flows. I like how its different though, tossed around Ideas all the time in my head how to make mine different too. I was gunna say the fill ins on the ram air grill looked horrible but now that I know there neons lol .. its okay. ( thought u did a crappy paint job for a sec ). Good work though!!

yeah, idk. lol. i see red/silver/gold all the time. i wanted to do something different. to be honest, i got the color scheme from the "Monster" energy drink.
i agree with you, i need something on the side, but its a bit difficult to think of what to do because the "trans am" lettering is debadged.

i want to tint the tails. just lightly to take the redness out of it. the dakota looks good man.

nahh, lol. i think the majority of the people that have viewed this thread think i painted the hood grilles, but they are NOT. like i said i put 6" neons in the scoops w velcro strips, so its nothing permanent.


thanks again guys.

It looks pretty good. You didn't go overboard with the green, and it's definitely different.

Awesome. i always wanted my buddy with a WS6 to do that scheme, but he did the red instead. i think it would tons better with a darker wheel, maybe even black. my buddy went with the CETA wheels. looks good.

well green is my favorite color. i like. just like everybody else said you should do the rear inserts on the bumper. some might not like this idea but u should paint the calipers green. ive did it on my green firebird a while ago and i really liked it. just a thought

I think it would look better if your corners weren't blacked out.

Can you also take some pics of the wiring that you did for your neons? I've tossed that idea around a handful of times but haven't really found a way I like the wiring, so I'd like to see how you did it.
I did blue leds in my hood. If you come out of the car under the pcm you can drill a small hole in the hinge opening on the right side of the hood. The hing has a hole jus not the hood. It tool sime time but I then fished wire threw the hood. Got to the center of the hood and went up threw the middle of the hood. You can only see about 6 inchs of wire right up top where it goes in the ram air part that is it. I will try and get you some pics if you want.

I don't like the green in the ramair part of the hood. Good job being different though.
I like the other parts though. WS6 emblem, pontiac on the headlight, bird might be pushin it.
