Would this be a no-no?
Ditch all of the red on the exterior. The red under the hood is just the right touch along with the red bird on the headrest. All black with chrome wheels is absolutely killer.

I would remove the front bird and the headlight, but paint the calipers red. Looks great though

yea, take all the emblems off...cars look stupid that have emblems on them. what are companies thinking putting emblems and moldings on the cars? what morons. i mean, take everything off and no one will no its a trans am, give it that nice "sleeper" look, cause im sure ur exhaust and such doesn't give it away that its a sleeper... (all sarcasm)
keep everything the way it is, car looks awesome. im sick of everyone wanting to rip everything off the car, emblems, the hood, rims, doors, windshield..the emblems and decals give your car character and make it stand out from every black car, and any other colored car on the road. if everyone took everything off their car, everything would look the same...i love your car with the red...

Your car looks amazing and you've done a great job putting it together, but I think that it would look a lot straighter with shaved emblems and no exterior. I think the headrests are the perfect accent on your car.

Have you ever seen one of those boxes with bright red decals on the outside?
Just kidding. That statement isnt entirely fair, as most of Chips designs have an accent color of some type on the car. (i.e., a pinstripe, a painted decal/logo, two-tone paint,etc. and the FOOSE sticker that is put on most cars somewhere usually doesnt match the car color.)I think a little well placed color accent is better than none on a black car. It just needs broken up some. JMO.
But definatley dont change the interior or engine bay.
I'm all for getting rid of red. The red accents on the exterior cheapen the look of your car.
The red under your hood however, looks awesome. Get rid of the outside red for now, until you can afford to do true flames in red on the hood just like under the hood.

ok good stuff guys. No way am i going to change the engine bay or INT, i love it... jsut unsure about the exterior right now and will probably change it up a bit soon. Im thinking either using some reflective black stuff or leave just a little red right now and ditch some.
Opinions..... using overlays/ stripes/ whatever to my exterior... or even debadging everything... voice your opinion about what you think would make my car look the best exterior wise without getting out of line with the theme on the rest of the car (as in putting yellow decals or something that would totally look out of place).
Thanks!
