Default Too much?

Currently working on the appearance of my car as to not void the warranty... But, wanted some opinions on if on what I have planned would be too much shiny stuff.


I ordered the stainless vent covers and trans am emblems already. Then I thought about getting a vinyl bird to put on the A pillar chrome colored. Then remove the bird from the back and get stainless letters to fill in pontiac. Get bird plate in front. Have it painted black with chrome overlay. Paint calipers red. Get TT2's. Also, get the headlight pontiac overlay in red as well.

In my head I think that would look good. But, I'd hate to get it all on and think it looks tacky. Thats why I'm buying only a part or two at a time.

Thanks in advance for opinions.

Kyle

The only thing I don't like is the bird on the pillar.

The pillar thing sounds silly to me at least but everything else sounds good. They do make the front license firebird in stainless steel to match the vent covers and rear inlays. I have pics of the front bird in stainless on my car in my sig. I also blacked out the center panel and added reverse honeycomb overlays as well. TT2s are always a good addition as well. Whenever you add something always consider how its going to affect the car as a whole with the mods you have planned as well as the existing ones. Good luck though.
