Default Custom Paint idea for T/A

Hey guys...I was messing around with photoshop tonight and decided to come up with some ideas. The camaros look great with the hockey stripe on the side of them so I thought what if the T/A had something similar. Let me know what you guys think....

Silver02TA I hope you don't mind that I used your car for my experiment I had it saved on my computer as my background and just decided to work with that picture because your car looks amazing.

I think it would look bad ***, but i'd leave the rear top same color and just go with the side stuff

Looks pretty good. I really like what you did with the concrete in the first picture(lower left corner). Though I agree with Vax on the roof.

No way, dunno why everyone's trying to be different. Don't do it! These cars are perfect from the factory, just needs performance mods thats it. But, that's just me

I have to admit, I've though about fancy paint jobs on my car, but man it looks perfect the way it is. I just changed the side turn signals with clear lenses, to match the silver. I wouldn't do anything else, except for wheels

Oh I am not going to do it to my car, I was just posting it up because I thought I would share my idea, and see if people even thought it looked good.

Yes it would, his work is amazing. Wish I had the money to hire someone with his skills to do up some real looking blue flames on my car.
