too busy for T/A's, ok for camaro's.
I don't like black wheels all that much to respond to what some were saying. I will be keeping my factory polished 5 stars as of right now $$$. I was thinking about tinting the windows so it would be more uniform to agree with what others were saying. And for those who say it would look too busy I tend to disagree with that statement. If its a TA WS6 then yes because that car is on a fine line with all of its shapes and edges. The formula or firebird tends to be sedate. Even though I am putting on a ram air hood (Firehawk)it is the most subtle on in my opinion. There are no more badges or sidemolding either to clean it up further. So in my case I don't believe it would be too busy. I'm not saying I'm leaning towards each way right now either. I do appreciate all those that have chimed in though thanks.

Im in love with ALL the pictures EXCEPT the fifth one. I think the angle distance in the fifth one really throws of the cars sexy angles and all that jazz. May not be the top though may just be the pics.

So any thought on the NBM CETA mod for formys? I'm interested in this , cuase I havn't exactly seen an NBM with Glossy black CETA. I usually see shades of grey (Char Grey Met, Flat Grey) , but I'm trying to image how black would look. Seems like it'll match polished filler panel better, esp if you have dark *** tints too.
Are you a t-top or hardtop????
I think it looks good on t-top cars(my sail panel is black) with tinted windows. With all the black glass everywhere, the black sail panel just blends in.
If you have a hardtop, I think it looks like ***. You actually have a roof, so match it to the body color, it will flow better. Plus you can do a cool stripe down the hood, roof, and back of the car.

Mine has ttops and my inspiration was porksoda I never noticed it on dirtybirds car. Both very nice cars but theirs are both lt1 TAs I havent seen any on a Ls1 formula which has peaked my interest. Thats all.

I don't like black stuff on dark blue cars. It's too much dark. I like a good contrast with the stuff or nothing (chrome, clear corners, etc, on dark cars, black and other dark stuff on light cars... you get the idea). Or color-matched.
That's just my .02.

IF you do it DON'T PAINT THE MIRRORS!!! Leave the mirrors body color and just paint the halo part (roof) black... Anything but body colored mirrors on EITHER Camaro or Firebird cars looks like @ss because it does NOT flow...
One of the first things I did was have my mirrors body colored...
Now I need to get my hood body colored
