Nice Work, something I have never seen before. Did you order the front bird decal on the front bumper? That would add a bit to the front bumper. Do somthing with the front turn signals, maybe use the VHT niteshades, or some clears. Car looks awesome

my dad is a furniture refinisher and does some sidework out of our garage so its already all setup. used a spraygun with a 5 horse Worthington compressor, inline dryer, all the goods. did it right in the garage and just cracked the door to let the fumes out.hehe

looks great but you should paint your doos emblems black and paint your roof panel (i think it's a c-pillar) white and get black firebird decals on the sides of em to break up the black a little so it looks like an accent and not a two-tone car
Not something you see everyday and it turned out really nice, I like it.
