It looks decent. It is not something I would do, but it doesn't look bad at all. It looks like you did a good job installing it.

That statment is retarded, and just shows that you don't know about the heritage of these cars. Pic attached.

Great Job! I like it. I bet you don't see yourself at every stoplight across town. Anyone can fit in, you proudly state who you are.

I guess you have to be there to see the irregularities in the sticker, looks perfect in the photo.

I'd consider a hood bird if I hadn't done the scoop.

Because the ls1 sticker isn't big and gaudy. Yes I understand the birds were on the older ta's, they belong on there. I dont know why people feel the need to slap a big bird on a nice looking car.

...and some of us don't understand why you put Corvette Z06 wheels on your Firebird. Comparing the mighty Firechicken to a Honda decal should be grounds for you having to sell your Firebird

My dad bought a 78' TA brand new when he was younger. The first thing he did was pull bird off. Some people told him it wasnt a TA because it didnt have it on there.

I think you did a damn good job putting in on, but just not my cup of tea on a 4th gen.
