Good find. I know I looked for a while before I found a set. I picked up another set earlier this year for some fuel rail covers. Black and Red will look good. Good call on not doing everything at once as far as the accents are concerned, at some point it does get to be a little much!

I'd do the back PONTIAC letters for sure tho, they really set the rear end off.

Yeah.... I think it will look pretty good. The rear end will have a little "pop", but the bright red "formula" on the side of the doors, with red calipers, will SET IT OFF...IMO.

You should get a set of red blackbird style stripes. That'd really complete the look.

Are those overlays on the door emblems, or are they painted?

Should I do the "Nose Bird" red as well, or is that a little too much?

I think it's a little iffy, but i'd like to get some opinions....

Fourthcircle and emblempros are absolutely fanastic places to buy from. You won't be dissapointed in anything from either of those places.

I've always thought the nose bird was a bit tacky and a little too much, but some like it. It's too thin IMO and from a distance just looks bad and too undefined.

Still plan on red decals, and painted calipers, but maybe keeping the stock wheels (Black ones, in the pics)... So i can go with a shift kit and mail order tune...

AND NEW TIPS!!!

Thinking about getting the B&B exhaust tips... Would the red/black theme, look ok with polished exhaust tips? I'm on the fence about it , but i think the tips would look great!!
