Does anyone know if somebody makes a modern version of the "screaming chicken" decal thats on the 70's - 87 hoods of trans ams? my car had one stock but i took it off for a paint job. but i think the one it had kinda made it look "white trashy" and by modern i mean different than the old ones that actually looks good

 

you can try www.autografics.com . i think they do those. they're a little different from factory GM decals in that they're cut directly from vinyl instead of being painted onto clear vinyl. good quality stuff, and licensed (accurate shapes, etc), just a slightly different look than factory, (in some respects better, some worse)

 

Or you can try www.phoenixgraphix.com

They supply Licensed GM decals.

GL!

 

I thought the screaming chicken was only on 73-81 trans ams. I don't think any third gen would have it from the factory.

As long as it's put on straight and clean (and the color matches) it won't look like white trash. When it's done wrong... that's when you get the hich salut from guys in their raised F-150s.

 

I beg to differ...I have an original parts and illustrations manual for all firebirds from 82-92 and there was a bird decal available for 85-86 trans ams in the colors of silver, chestnut, charcoal, dark gold, and medium gray. I have original GM part numbers for each one. The drawing shows the bird on the hood and its the size of the hood

It was also available in 1987 gold, silver, and medium grey...i have part numbers for those too. However I would assume that all of the big stickers have been discontinued. But if you want a GM part number to check if they are discontinued or not, let me know.

 

my '85 came with it,
rpo code dx1 = hood decal

white trash !!

 

more white trash!!!

 

Believe it or not, I bought mine from JC Whitney. I paid about $100, and it came with the bird, FIREBIRD decals, TRANS AM decals, and 3 smaller birds. The quality was great. It had been on my car for 3 or 4 years when I sold it, and still looked brand new. It hadn't faded or cracked or anything.

 

I see them alot on ebay....There is one place called fasttints that has them in chrome or whatever you want. Type in "firebird decal" and you'll find lots.......

 

Large Hood Birds were re-introduced in 1985 and remained till 87. Just an outline, they are not as screaming as their earlier counterparts.

scott's85T/A if you think it is white trash then why did you put it on your hood.it obviously didnt comefrom the factory with hood so you made the choice to put it on.

 

thanks guys, i just wanted something different than stock, looks like thats all they have so ill just go down to the autobody shop, they have a guy there that makes custom decals, ill design it and have him make it up

 

It's called sarcasem.
If I didn't like it I wouldn't have put it on there.
I was showing that it was on more than just the 2nd gen birds.
