Default Is this too much?

I have a red trans am 1999. And over my winter break I wanna do some visual mods to it here are my plans. Black CETA stripes on the sides, tint my back window, hash marks on the fenders, black CETA mod, tint running lights, and third brake light, little black birds on the pillar, black bird on the license plate, trans am emblem on the door painted black, paint my tims black but so they have a chrome lip like the 30th anniv, put a red bird on the tailight filler, put red birds in the middle of the wheels, and paint my calipers red and get rid of door molding. What do you guys think?

I've never been a fan of the GS stripes nor the B-pillar birds. I think those two in conjunction with side CETA stripes are a tad much. But if you must I vote either GS+Bpillar OR Bpillar+CETA stripes.

IMO everything else should be good to go without looking too busy.

Ditch the B-pillar birds, and GS stripes and it won't be too bad. Also, don't paint your emblems, if anything, get overlays for them.

Agreed, also shave the logo off the taillight filler panel and ditch the emblems and side-molding all together!
