Had these put on for the time being. The decal place made the nose bird to narrow but it will do until I can order the correct one.

The PONTIAC on the headlight door cam out nice.

The PONTIAC on the tail light came out good for what she had to work with. For some reason GM etched the PON higher on one tail light than they etched the TIAC on the other. Its off a bit. Im gonna polish these tail lights out one day so when I do Ill sand the etching off and put it on even.

Also that is our local car club here intown, BIG well known club here.

Yes all the decals are silver, they look white but they are silver

They look pretty good, except that rear window sticker.

Still missing the big hood bird too!

I know and thats what pisses me off.

We put the letters right ontop of the etching of the PONTIAC letters and GM etched them uneven. One side is lower than the other.

The only thing I can think of to fix it is by sanding it off and buffing out the tail lights.

mine are the same way, so i just never put on the decal. i figure someday i'll sand all that crap off and have somebody paint it on there evenly.

The car is absolutely beautiful.

However...

That has to be the most G O D awful hideous looking club decal I've ever seen. That's unforgiveable. Where is Kidrcth when you need him. I want to let him know that his fur headliner has been dethroned as my personal #1 "what where you thinking" champion!!!

Kidrcth...I got nothin' but love for ya bud! Just no love for the fur!:lala:
