I have to go for the green. Although I don't really like it on the back of the car. The green vents and Firebird logo look better to me in green though.
I'd have to say green. That color green on black can be sexy on a clean car. Especially in such moderation.

I have decided not to go with the green and here is why and what I plan to do.
I do really like the way the green looks but.... I really love the red interior and plan to continue the red accents on the interior and convert everything that is gray to black. Hopefully a very glossy black that would match the depth of the exterior paint.
Because I plan to keep the red interior I obviously cannot change to a green scheme on the outside because it would look horrible
My plans for the exterior will probably be to paint the vents back to black and remove the formula badging from the door and all of the red vinyl except something on the rear whether it is going to be the bird the formula or the pontiac i am not sure, I may remove all of it and get stainless pontiac inserts ONLY , nothing else stainless. The foglights, DRLs, and taillights will all be blacked out and of course the windows will be tinted.
The details of the interior are a secret for now.
Any suggestions on what the *** end of the car should look like ?

Try silver or gold. Also how do you get your picks to be so big when they only
let you make it to one certain size? It will say (100_0082.JPG:

Looking for the "Neither" option myself.
Gunmetal
Stainless/Chrome
Silver
Gold
Also, black reflective would be a very nice idea IMO. Subtle, but it would be different.
If you go with another color and not a "metal" or "metallic" tone, it needs to be something really custom and complimentary, not two solid colors just thrown on the car. One of the downsides to black, hard to find unique complimentary colors. Just my two pennies.

I don't care for either color, both do look good, but not something I would do with my car. I would like to see a lighter and darker blue however, that might look good too. Good luck with whatever you do, Its definately unique with the green and if it makes you happy, then thats all that matters!

Everyone bitching at Silver02TA for having good taste in cars is exactly whats is wrong with this section. It used to be a great section where people like Steve2000SS, MadIce, and Xsta Z 28 used to post about their clean and subtle appearance mods... now there are threads about people wanting to use lime green decals on their cars. It's a shame.
