My car is getting repainted this week/next week. And i bought a vinyl kit from autografics.com and since it was the kit, it came with alot of stuff. My big thing is, the new front bumper on my car isn't going to have the bird on the top of it, which i don't really like it anyway, the old one was starting to get bubbles in it. Anyway, i am afraid that it will look really plain without something. The vinyl kit came with the front plate overlay for the 98+ trans ams, and since mine is a 96, i was wondering how the bird would look just put on the front nose of my car. So i photoshopped (i can't photoshop very well) what it would look like on a trans am. Remember my car is Cyclamen, not red, and the vinyl is metallic silver. I just didn't have any pictures of my car with the new bumper, where it was the same color as the car since its sill in the shop.

This is what it would look like with no bird on top and nothing on the front (kinda plain)

This is what it would look like with the vinyl

And yes i borrowed the original of this picture from ebay, it was the easiest place to find one.

come on, someone has to have an opinion on how it looks..

Looks ok I am sure it will look better in metallic silver once it is done. You should do some more silver and have a red/silver theme. Like get silver trans am overlays for the side and stuff.

Honest opinion: I like it better without....

like i said my car isn't red, its Cyclamen, and the kit came with the overlays for the doors, the bird for the piece between the tail lights, the pontiac in the rear bumper, and the trans am for the windshield, and a bunch of other pieces, including ram air stuff, and vavrious other overlays. For the price, the kit was a great deal.

Do it then, and post pics when you are done. Before and after. If you dont like it is just vinyl, peel it off. I think it will look good though, especially if you put on the whole set.

I think it will look good, now i just have to convince my friend to do it. Lord knows if i tired to do it, i'd wind up with a turkey, instead of a flaming banshee.. All the vinyl in the kit was the metallic silver, although you can get them to piece different colors at no extra charge, it just costs like $8 more to get metallic colors. The best color that would match my car was the metallic silver, or chrome, but since i dont' have chrome rims, i figured silver on purple would look just as good.

Honestly, I think the bird decal looks cheap. Looks better without.

i changed the picture, so now the bird has a shadow like the car, and it doesn't look as fake

I dunno but I think a pontiac arrow head would look nice there

Same here. It looks super clean without it.

somehow i have the feeling the people who think it looks better "clean" are also the people who are taking off all the moldings and stuff.

You think that's a bad thing?

i think it looks ok but if u plan on putting more of those on your car, then i might start to giggle.
i'd prefer without. i am too for the clean look
