Non-OEM decal and marking ???
The T/A is going in for paint Friday. I can't decide if I should get the factory bird and lettering on the car or something custom. If anyone's got any custom graphics and/or lettering...pleease post a pic. Just looking to maybe get some ideas. BTW, the car is going to be all white so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I like the oem look but a friend has a Monte Carlo SS with very subtle air-brushed lettering instead of the decals from GM and it looked pretty tasteful. I was hoping to see some custom ideas as I'm sure a few must have done something.

What color paint? Some custom stuff can be pretty tacky because most people go overboard. It's the subtle changes that make it stand out.
I made some second and third gen bird graphics as desktop wallpaper that somebody else wanted to use as a bird graphic.
I don't know if it was ever done or how it would look printed out but here it is anyway. Granted, this is pushing towards tacky but it can be toned down.

The car is going to be white. I'm now leaning towards 4th gen lettering. If anyones got any pics of them on the car....please post 'em.

I'm going with a black hood bird and black with red accent OEM decals when I repaint my car. If you get any sort of lettering on the car, make it BLACK. Especially if you have a black wraparound spoiler like me.
