Your question & the poll choices don't make any sense.
You ask, 'Keep or lose the bird?'.
Then you allow 'Yes', 'No', 'Different'.

That's like, 'Do you want brown or white gravy?', & you answer 'Yes'.


Yes, Lose the bird.

Forget about that, you need some tint and new shoes on it.

Lose it!
1. It is the wrong style bird compared to the front and rear filler bird
2. It blocks your view.
3. Tint should be the only thing on windows.
4. You have enough badges elsewhere to let people know its a firebird.
5. It draws attention for the wrong reason.
6. Large bird decals went out over 20 years ago.
Not trying to sound like an ***. Just my own opinion. Doing excessive stuff detracts from the overall look. Standing out is easy. Standing out because a car looks good is a little harder. Sometimes less is more. Subtle touches do a lot more for a car than big gaudy stickers and the like. It is your car in the end though. You don't have to do what anyone says, but just think of the reasoning and you'll make the right decision.

See!?!? You need to fix your phukt up poll BlkBird.
Change the wording & start over, you're getting a Floridian vote, ...
I would vote 'Yes' to get rid of it.

This is so screwed up, ...,

Yeah....I would say get rid of it...I see you have a few "go fast" stickers on it which look good, but the window bird is too much IMO. Like someone else said...new rims and tires (maybe lowered as well) would make it look badass!

I'd get rid of it. But it's not nearly as bad as the old hood birds. Meaning it doesn't come across as "gaudy", just not my taste.
I wouldn't be too happy with the other emblems either.
They stand out too much.

But it looks like a nice car anyway. (that actually *is a compliment)

Some people like emblems and badges.
Some people like chrome.

I prefer stealth. No badges. No labels. Except where required by law.
