Default Trans Am Overlays
I found a set of white overlays for the wording Trans Am on the side of my doors. I have a black car and wondered what you guys thought about the white lettering in Trans Am. It doesn't have to be white it can be something else. Does it look good? Money better spent? What ya think I'm undecided so I turned here. The car is in my sig.

Thanks
AR

Taking the door emblems off completely is the best option IMO, gives it a much cleaner look, same with removing the side molding....white is too flashy IMO, so if you MUST have them, then i say go for more of a silver color

I could do silver because the hood has "Ram Air" written in silver.

^^exactly....white would be too random to put on them....silver is the way to go IMO, black cars with silver accents look great

Hey you posted on my other thread. You still have a nice Avatar. And if you take that molding off won't you see where it used to be?

With your car being black I doubt you'll have any problems.

What part of Ohio you from?

you shouldnt be able to see where the molding used to be as long as you do some buffing and waxing...

I'd say silver, but photoshop would help in your decision.
