Needs center-caps, & black lug-nut covers.
And I'd lose the side 'Trans Am' letters too.
Also, the pictures in the driveway don't do it any justice.
Too many things around mixing up the shine.
Take it out somewhere, where there isn't so much other stuff reflecting on it.

Be careful, ..., too many gold highlights can be, ..., too much.
And I think you're there, ...,
(Yea, mine is too, ...)

The 2nd gen birds had gold trans am on the fenders, deck lid, and front bumper. Had gold bird on the hood and sail panels, gold 4 wheel disc stickers on the door handles and the SE cars had gold trim.

Op I think your gold is good. Agree you need center caps

I like it. Still not sure if you should do the vents.

Idk why everyone wants to use plastishit. That stuff is a waste of money. Get overlays and do it right, if you wanna paint the wheels, get them powder coated.

whats good about plastidip is that its reversable. if i get tired of it then i can put it back to original. its also easy to take off and to repair

Wow I really like it! I'm not a big fan of plastidip because people normally make it look shoddy, but yours came out great!

I would keep the gold side Trans Am, it adds a nice contrast.

Looks pretty good except the vents, that is a little too much IMO and kinda drifting into the ricer category. Just my opinion though.

Cool car though.
