Default etched glass pics

Here are some pics of my etched glass on the hatch. Before I get flamed, I bought the car like this.

PONTIAC on the drivers side, Trans Am on the Passenger side.



Also, Trans Am on the Rearview mirror.


Does it look good, ok, or bad. Need some comments, I'm trying to decide whether or not to get new hatch glass... If it looks good or ok Ill keep, if not I guess I have to replace it.

It should go, but IMO shouldn't be the first place your money's spent. More like a finishing touch thing. Just ignore it for now.

Sorry man that I haven't got back with you on that etch removing cream, but I have been on leave. Thats really not as bad as I thought. If anything you can etch over it but it does look pretty good. Ill get you that info.

I def like the mirror. I agree that it's already got enough markings on the outside telling you what the car is. I had one of those huge PONTIAC window banners on my car when I got it, but have taken it off because you can clearly read Pontiac on the car in like 3 other places.

The mirror looks nice IMO and I wouldn't worry about buying a new hatch glass just because of some etching.

Mirror looks great, but hatch is not working for me.
