Default Just got my Trans Am back!!!!!

Here are some pics of my Trans Am. I just got a Firehawk hood put on and I took off the side moldings and Trans Am emblems. I think the doors look so much better! Let me know what you think.

Nice car, but I agree the WS6 emblem looks gay with the yellow. I say get the regular red cf one, or, get the black cf one (thats the one I want!) other then that, gorgeous ride..

I got the hood off ebay used. My body guy had to spend some time on to make it fit right. He thought the hood had been wrecked pretty bad and fixed. As for the WS6 emblem, I've had yellow "Trans Am" overlay decals for the doors before and I like how yellow stands out. I have yellow "Trans Am" brake caliper decals on the way. Black just doesn't stand out and I don't think red looks good with sunset orange. I probably won't be buying the Firehawk emblem since my car isn't a real Firehawk, I kind of like the way it looks without that emblem.

I just don't like the emblem because your car looks more like a Firehawk, and it's not a WS6.

_JB_ you're right, it's not a WS6, that's partly the reason why I didn't get a stock emblem... it doesn't have the performance package, but I've done enough stuff to my car to practically make it a WS6, and it does look more like a Firehawk, but I wasn't going to pay the ridiculous prices that SLP wants for their stuff.... It was bad enough I had to spend $200 on those damn hood grills.
