That black ram air with the hood bird looked decent but I think it would look better with the 98-02 bird on it instead. That looked more like a third gen bird.

to answer your question--yes, it is wrong. You have a modern looking car and the decals are sooo old school---your wanting 2 different worlds and it cannot be pulled off--without looking chessy

you're so right.
You can't have take two things from two different worlds and put them together.

A nice car CANNOT be a fast car.
and a fast car with a v8 definitely CANNOT get good gas mileage.
and a quick car CANNOT be affordable.




no, its just silly! 2 worlds! TWO WORLDS! its impossible.

WHAT? I never said anything you quoted Just stating my own opinion like everyone else

I was clearly talking just about looks here (the thread was about Hood Birds...remember?)--it was kinda obvious

Nice cars cannot be fast? See I debunked that in my own Firebird!

I like the fire chicken on 3rd and 4th gens- it says to the world "I AM A FIREBIRD!!!!", not a camaro!

I'm switching over to a shaker hood and TA scoop this summer- and yes, my 'Bird will have the Fire Chicken on it.

Which shaker hood and TA scoop are you getting and where are you going to order it from? I'd like to buy one for my car too.

If I were to put a Decal on my Trans Am it would be this modern desing...

And that color only....not blue, red, white, orange.....Just Yellow.
I think the Gold Yellow Emblems and Decals represent "in a way" the Trans Am.

first of all a nice car can be a fast car, second any ls1 is a v8 and still gets good gas mileage, and last my car is quick and i only have 2k into it which to me is cheap

I think the best looking hood bird is the one showcased in this article...

http://www.highperformancepontiac.co...ate/index.html

It's from Phoenix Graphix, an officially licensed GM supplier.

I'm heavily considering doing this hood bird on my 01 black WS6.

I think it looks mean with the right bird, but really bad with the wrong bird.

I don't like that bird because it's not the correct bird for the time period. When I decided on the bird, I wanted to make sure it was the current year. That's just me though
