... A little clarification,

I had the molding off after paint and just didn't like the way it looked. To me, the molding gives any 3/4 angle views of the car alot more depth and continuation. It just didn't look right to me without it on this particular car.

So, I then had the molding painted the new color and put it back on. I know I like the molding better ON. No offense meant to any that like it off on their cars, its just my personal opinion about this car.

Also, those emblems are currently not on the car... they were on BEFORE the paint... and now I'm debating on whether or not to put any emblems back in that spot.

[QUOTE=RollTideTA]I was debating whether or not to put my emblems back on the door after paint. I did a half-*** photoshop to give myself an idea...What do you guys think?

I think this looks great, put the molding and emblems back on, maybe instead of stainless how about black to got with the window tint? Just a thought.

I think it looks great with the molding and emblems on the car. even though most people on this site will tell you to take off the molding.

Just leave it the way it was. Lettering and moldings are just another extra thing that sets it apart from a regular firebird

The Trans Am emblem in the photoshop is from him and I also have the stainless Ram Air emblems for the hood too, but I haven't decided whether to put them on or not yet.

The WS6 emblem and supercharged emblem are the only things that didn't come from him lol. Great products highly recommend the "Muffinbuster"
You and I both!!!!

I have basically all his emblems too....!

I like the supercharged TA look, but I am personally going with no side emblems and no side molding. Kinda like the GMMG Blackbird.

but you do have a beautiful trans am.

Badge that biatch! I don't think having both "Trans Am" and "Supercharged" is too cluttered. It looks like they belong together and raise interest. The "Supercharged TA" is an interesting twist too. I don't think you can go wrong either way. At least put the "Trans Am" back on. Your color combo is awaesome. Show it off!
You would be amazed at how much interest and questions I get just from having blackbird stripes and a "LOTB" badge. It's all about details.
