the old owner had some stickers put on and i dont know if i exactly like them

here is the first... bird on the hood

i just think it should be bigger, and it would be cool if it didn't glow in the dark :/

 

and the second, i kind of like this one but i am not sure how well it fits the car

 

IMO... I would take the one on the hood off, but I like the one on the rear.

 

I agree, the one on the back is pretty cool, but that bird doesn't look right.

 

Ditto!!!

 

Take off the bird.

 

That rear spoiler decal is rather nifty, but the hood chicken needs to go.

 

I've seen cars where hood chickens fit....and that's not one of them.

 

i am with everyone else, keep the rear, take off the front sticker.

 

what is up with everyone calling it a chicken ??


my girlfriend said it looked like a flaming chicken, so now my car is refered to as the flaming chicken

i guess i will take it off on the next nice day i get

how should i do it with out recking the paint ?

i think it is just one of those stick on vynal ones tho, so it should just peel right off ?

also what does everyone think about one of those stripes with teh bird in it that goes up the bulge hood, that came on the 82-83ish birds ??

could anyone do a photoshop of what it would look like ? doesn't need to be a fancy one tho, just so i can get a idea of what it looks like

 

The bird is actually a Pheniox, but alot of people refer to it as a "Fire Chicken"

 

Ditch the bird keep the rear.

 

im with everyone else on this one

 

 

I'd remove both.

 

Im With everyone too, Remove the front keep the rear.

 

I've seen worse, like scummit racing, de accel, nudespeed, etc.

Just hope you can buff out the impression left by the phoenix

 

I agree with everyone else, but theres probably gonna be a mark left by the one on the hood. So personally i'd get a better looking screaming chicken to put on there. I actually like them on the hood, that one just looks really tacky tho.

 

I thought it was a "Sceaming Chicken?"

 

the bird isnt that old, so i dont think it will have left that much of a impression

the lady that i bought it from had to sell the car quick cuz she needed money to pay her land lord, so he paid to have both the stickers put on so it would look more attractive and sell it faster


they have only been on for about 2 months, so i dotn think it would have left that much of a impression

 

Well take it off and see how you like it, I dont have any pics of the bigger birds on my puter but Im sure you can find one. I actually think the bigger more detailed ones look nice. That ones just a little cheezy looking to me.

I always called em screaming chickens, I've heard people call em fire chickens, fire birds (well it is on a firebird), there actually phoenix's as mentioned earlier...but that names no fun!

 

it glows in the dark?? not cool

 

welll it doesnt so much glow as it does reflect, but it looks like it is glowing...


i will get a picture of it tonight for everyone to see, should be ineresting

 

I'd remove the rear one too... what exactly is Firebird Formula Racing? :P

 

here is a picture of how it glows ... more reflective tho


i started taking it off, but wehre the reflective sticker is the top later came off , but hte bottom is still there so i dont know what to do to get it off, because nothing will take it off and i dont want to use anything to strip/wreck the paint

 

so i forgot the pic.. here it is

 

ITs a NICE idea the glowing but ...the bird is ugly ..
take it off !
if youcan do the same with the 1985 bird ...it would kill

 

the bird would be tight if it were on a fourth gen where it belongs... on your third gen, it's got no reason for existing...

 

 

I don't get it either.

 

Me either...maybee he meant..second gen?

hehe it looks realllllllllly funny glowing in the dark you might wanna take it to a body shop for help..I would definately pay to get that thing off of there

 

I just realized..it doesnt even have the cool flame stuff coming out of the mouth..what a gyp

 

I say nay to the hood bird, mainly cause it doesn't line up with the formy hood. Plus it glows in the dark, which is kinda scary.

 

Get yourself a hairdryer, set it on high and peel away It should come off no problem with the glue still on the decal.

 

I agree.

 

No, I meant fourth gen.

Take a look at this picture of the headrest in my 2002 Collector Edition TA :

 

So because you have a bird on your headrest that means it only belongs on a 4th gen? Ever take a look behind the window on a third gen trans am? If you have, you would have noticed the bird there as well. It really doesn't belong on anything but a second gen. That is where the bird on the hood looks sweet. I honestly don't think it even looks that bad, except the glow in the dark feature has got to go.

 

whoa chill! I am talking SOLELY about the bird design! Sorry if that wasn't crystal clear...

I owned a 78 TA, it had sailpanel birds, I know 3rd gens had em there too - I even added them to my first 4th gen - I'm not biased against any gen F-body!

P.S. I even kind of like the glow-in-the-dark... flame away

buffing, polishing compound, preps all, adheasive remover
