Default Trans Am Stripes Poll

Hey guys,

I've been on this site for a while and have kept a really low profile. I really like the opinions on this site and especially the ones in the Appearance & Detailing section. I have a question for ya'll now. I will be doing the CETA mod very soon as well as the side molding mod for my T/A. I'm looking into a stripe set, I am torn between the 30th Anniversary stripes or the blackbird stripes. I would like to go with blue but I would also consider black for the blackbird stripes. Here is a few pics of my ride...

Try something different than everyone else, ..., Try a white with blue highlights theme. Blackbird design stripes. Anyone else ever seen that?

I kinda like the blue 30th stripes. You don't see a lot of those. Then again, I drive an SS so my opinion may be irrelevant.

what type of blue where you considering. If you do use blue dont use navy or light blue thats been over done. Go with a royal blue, electron blue, or something to that effect thats going to jump of the car

If you use blue, use the blue from the Shelby GT500. The white car with the blue stripes. That color blue is ver similar to the color blue that nissan puts on the 350. Awesome color btw.

Can't beat blue on white imo....but I may be a little biased
I don't think I've seen blue blackbirds on a white car though, that would be cool...something different and subtle.
