Off. Looks cleaner. You have the same taste as I do man!!! My car is gunna look almost identical, but mine's blue.

Oh yea, I'm putting the molding back on too. Mostly because nobody gives a damn about other people's stuff. Its for protection and it doesn't look really bad either.

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.

It doesn't look so cluttered and IMHO it looks much meaner!

I think that would be neat and a little different and unique without going overboard

Hands down "Supercharged TA" style. That looks perfect. Not even a question. It looks sleek, mean, and unique. Cant lose. Beautiful ride bro.

Yeah i'm putting the emblems back on ... either in the original configuration or the supercharged TA style that you did! Thats the only thing im still deciding on... and I'm waiting on the supercharged emblem replacements to get here... too much trouble to salvage the old ones and try to line them back up. I did salvage the stainless steel Trans Am emblems and re-polished them. So I should be ready to do either one once I get the s/c emblems in.

Thanks, for all the kind words and opinions guys, this was pretty even as far as polls go too. I do appreciate the feedback on things I'm not 100% certain about

I say keep it with both. It looks badass. And look at it this way, with them know it it has a blower, you'll only ever have to get into serious races . No more messing with kids who think their Honda is fast. Gorgeous car. Quickly becoming one of my favorite T/A's.

I think I got the picture a long time ago that he is not removing the molding... He has stated that he has already taken it off and put it back on becuase he likes it on... Is it that hard to understand?

I like the idea of the "supercharged TA" or w/ nothing at all...too much clutter the other way.
