Not too much a fan of them on 4th gens myself.

The pillar just isn't the right shape to hold/want a bird.

after seeing a few, i think the placement is key to making them look nice. Lunas and Phantoms seem to be in the perfect position

VERY GAY IMHO

MAYBE if they were more of a modern bird, like the one's FROM the 80's it wouldn't look as out of place... I doubt it though.

Here's a zoomed out pic to give you a better idea on how it looks. As you can see, your going to get different opinions but what matters is if you think it'll look good. Me personally I love the pillar birds. This is my third decal since the first one was too small and the second one, I placed too high. BTW they're reflective white....



and yes the tbar is the only thing photoshoped

The decals have to be the right size and in the right spot, otherwise they do look bad. The other thing is, they have to be 4th gen firebirds. I don;t like the 3rd gen birds on the 4th gen cars...

Actually, I still wouldn't do it at all but at least that looks 1000x's better than the other style birds....

Love the two tone of it as well...

Ehh. I think it draws too much attention to the stupid little decal, and away from the actual car itself. It's more of eye-sore than anything (to me at least).

Sometimes they look good, sometimes they don't.

I've never done it mainly cause I don't think there is a really great spot on there where it looks proportionate(sp?) on all sides.

My brother put some of those on the fender where the LOTB badges go. I think his looks nice, but I've got enough going on in that area of my car.

Hot soapy water and the slight touch of a semi-long fingernail.
