Default something other than the usual on a black ws6

i was tired of "blending in" with my black ws6. definately a beautiful car either way, but i wanted to do something a little different than the norm and stick out a bit. i decided i was going to accent the car(lettering around the car, headlight, front filler). i ended up choosing to go with a bright green. its something ive never seen and i feel the two colors go well together.

it was in the back of my head while cutting all the vinyl myself that id get "ricer" comments, believe me; but i feel like it turned out really well. ive got nothing but compliments so far, so let me know what you guys think(keep in mind, i cut everything myself w a razor blade).

Even though green isnt my favorite color, I would say it's still tastefully done. It's definately noticeable but not too gawdy. Good job.

Thats how I stand.

I think your filler panel on the back needs more than just "Trans Am" in green, also PONTIAC on the back stands out against the green.

I love it minus the Pontiac being silver and I hate the hood grills

To me the ws6 hood looks good because it doubles the lower opening, doing anything to draw attention ONLY to the ram air hood openings makes the whole hood look gawdy and tacked on instead of natural and flowing.

This is why the hoods look like crap when left black on cars of other colors.

Find a way to do it on the bottom ones or ditch it IMO. The rest looks awesome. Maybe do the "Trans am" side logos too?

The scoops on the hood actually arent vinyled. I put 6" neons in the hood nostrils. I popped the covers off and wired them in.

Not to my personal preference, but looks clean! Definitely different, hope you continue to enjoy it.

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.

Think the Pontiac in bumper needs to be done aswell. Nice work on cutting all that out, must have taken awhile.

Really dig the green accents on the badges, but ditch the grills on the scoops as that does not look good. Also do the pontiac as well on the rear bumper to match the rest of the badging.

I like how the front is done. the back looks unfinished. i don't like how PONTIAC is not green but feel if you made it green then it would look to gawdy. i dunno what to say
