Default Three very small exterior mods

#1. I bought my car with "Hurst Equipped" emblems on the fenders. I'm not sure if I should remove them or not. What do you guys think?

#2. Due to the color of my car, should I put clear corners on it? I think the clear corners will stick out, but they look good on dark cars. Currently they kinda blend in.

#3. Anyone know what the hell this emblem next to the WS6 is? It looks like Texas, or a bird upsidedown. Remove it?

I know the car could be lowered, but I'm not concerned with it right now. It looks worse in the pics due to the hill.

I've seen the emblem next to a lot of the Jesus fish people have on their cars. I've always assumed it was a dove or some religious symbol.

1. Personally, I'd remove the Hurst Emblems, but it depends upon your tastes. I think it clutters up that area of the car, but some people like emblems there.
2. I agree with you that the side markers blend in more as they are. They'd stick out if they were clear.
3. That is a stylized dove, which is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. (Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Luke 3:21-22)

Thanks guys for the replies.

At first I wanted to remove the Hurst emblem, but since my car does have the Hurst shifter and Hurst T-handle I kinda figured it went with it.

As for the emblem by the WS6, it's a religous symbol huh? Guess I'll take it off since I'm atheist.

Yes the dove is a symbol of Christianity.

soething i did with mine because i hate yellow lights. the camaro back side marker and the trans am front marker are the same size only different colors so i switched mine which you cant tell in pics because mine are covered in vht night shade but i think the red blends more than the yellow on teh SOM cars. as far as legality of it goes its been 4 years with no problems but i live in a small town in tennessee. they are not very strict on anything but the seatbelt law and dui's. its just an option and if you are interested i have a second pair i got from a junkyard so shoot me a pm i will sell them cheap for i did not pay for them.

i would remove the hurst and bird emblems, they seem to clutter up your exterior. as for clear corners, i'm not sure i've seen them on a SOM car. otherwise your car looks pretty sweet!

1) Yes, remove. (Along with the side molding, ..., for a 'cleaner' look.)
2) Keep the colored lenses. They 'blend' better.
3) Texas. Previous owner must have been from Texas? Or a Texas dealer emblem? Remove it.

Traditionally, the Hurst emblem was used on the rear panel. It may not look so 'out of place' if you place it on the driver's side of the car in the same area as the 'WS6' emblem.

(Above statements are my opinions only.)

Hey keep the dove! It takes more faith to be an atheist than a believer!
