Too much gold? I have a black ws6 and I'm changing the appearance a bit. My plan is gold metallic on the following.
Ws6 badge
PONTIAC rear inlay
Gold bird/Trans am on filler panel
Gold lettering on Trans Am on doors
Gold blackbird stripes
Gold blackbird stripe on spoiler.
My question is, is this too much? I have a 2nd gen TA so heavy decals is common

I'd skip the gold stripes, and instead do some custom wheels. Maybe deep dish wheels, gold face with black lip? Or opposite, black face with gold lip.
Maybe something like this... Staggered little dish up front with deep deep dish in the rear.

Verdad Gallardo i get mixed reviews of the color scheme. while everyone is going to have different opinion of the scheme, remember its ur car and u do how u feel like doing. many like my setup how it sits. other feels that i should change my vents back to black and others feel i should changed it back when it was murdered out.
Too much can go overboard, ...
My car, ..., starting to not like the stripes that much anymore, but don't dare take them off.
(Replacements are not available anywhere anymore.)
In my opinion, on this ride, ..., I'd lose the gold emblem & go back to the black vents.
I like the Blackbird stripes & the wheels.
But this would be more 'subtle' that way & not 'over-pronounced'.
Know what I mean?!?

If you're looking at custom wheels, shop around. ADV.1 makes amazing wheels, and can do custom builds and colors as well.
You could also run some knock-off wheels and have them colored appropriately. Imitation CCWs are popular.
