Default Finally! Some good pics!

Hey everyone, finally got some good pictures of the Bird. Open to suggestions! Hoping to throw some strano springs on it soon. Other than that.. not sure. Don't mind the dirty engine bay

Before anyone says it, the pinstriping isn't going anywhere. But the side molding will be coming off when it's a littler warmer.

Very nice! x2 on pewter is a badass color. Black out your side markers like mine and get a WS9 Hood. I wish I never did my tailights. Here are pics of mine:

Since im not a huge fan of pewter I think I would do this.

Black out the 3rd brake light
Black Side Mirrors and Sail Panel and Door Handles
! Side Molding and Trans Am
Some sort of hood

Done

Haha, it makes all the difference in the world, right?

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The car might not be 100% loaded like my WS6 was, but my lord this car is CLEAN.

I'm definitely going to consider blacking out the side markers, and eventually (depending on how long I'm going to keep her) I would love a raptor hood.

Yes it does

When I ordered the decals, I only ordered for the rear Pontiac and Trans Am on the doors.. I got them in reflective black. Should've gotten the bird too

The transformation on the outside is almost as fun as the one under the hood!
