Rear of Car - Opinions Needed
Rear of Car - Opinions Needed So currently my car sits like this...
Here's what I'm contemplating:
1) Try to make dragon's small firehawk steel badge work. It fell off previously and it's sitting right in front of me, needing new adhesive. This would go below the right tail-light, but I would want to add something under the left side to balance it out.
2) Leave it as is, but work on the tail-light center panel. Possibly remove the factory "decals" and put a custom one OR leave it black and polished.
3) Leave the rear as is, it looks good.
I'll also take any other opinions, still missing a "custom" touch I guess you can say. Should probably highlite that it's a hawk.

Remove the factory decals and put the steel firehawk badge in the center where it says Trans Am, and then get a steel emblem made like the one in your sig and put that in the center where the 'bird decal is. That'd be a cool custom and subtle look.
Hmm, interesting. Only problem with the badge is it's not pre-bent, and that's why it fell off under the tail-light. Luckily it fell off in front of my house. The "k" portion of firehawk doesn't like the contour of the back bumper. I could possibly bend that to make work on the center section of the lights. I may explore that... I'd definitely have to get that firehawk logo custom done in a "chrome" sticker or something.
...then I like the blackness that Silver02TA suggests.
Decisions, decisions...

That sucks that small emblem fell off - I've never heard of that happening, but on that small of an emblem, I guess it could happen because there is not a lot of surface to adhere to and getting it to fit the contours could be tricky. I'll send you some 3M emblem tape if you would like.
I vote for sanding down and polishing the center part - it makes the back end look killer

Dude no doubt, I was bummed. I LOVE your stuff. It's just that "hanging" of the k that the bumper curves too fast and doesn't hold well. If I can't pull off using it in the rear, I have my blackwing lid painted in NBM and cleared that I was planning on sticking it to, because this badge is too nice to neglect.

CETA in either black or charcoal metallic.
Black out the taillight filler, too. I did mine this weekend and it only took about 30 min. Looks great, can't tell I even sanded it

PS: I like those tips.

Do the "Firehawk" lettering where the "Trans Am" is and the actual Firehawk, where the bird is. You could probably do it in vinyl, either red like it is or chrome. Here's a quick chop.
Sorry 2K2WS6, just saw your post. Kinda what I was thinkin' too.
