I want opinions on this. Is for my 88 GTA, & is gona be black & dark gold.
Does it look to much like a Power ranger? I dont want kids to go "look mom there goes the black ranger!" every time I pass by.
Its not final, just going trough Ideas & this one is the one that I like the most. But I need to see reactions before I go ahead with it.

 

Maybe its because you said the thing about the power rangers but that seriously looks like a part of theyre zords the original though not all the new spin off peices of crap

 

Is not like I tried to make it look like it. But after looking at it for a while thats what I saw.

 

Go for it.

Black + Dark Gold =

 

I'm lovin' the colors! Maybe it would look less "zordish" if the silver stripes didn't go horizontally to the edge, but it just kept going down the center to the bottom of the nostrils instead. I think that would look great. :shrug:

 

Dude I dont know where people are getting power rangers from.

It looks like the decepticon symbol from Transofrmers. I like if but the car better look as nice as the hood or you defeat the purpose.

 

That looks good! Is there any way we could see what it would look like on the car?

 

Looks like this ..in fact i saw somewhere a thirdgen with a transformer theme
very very cool.
YOUR HOOD :

 

go go power rangers!:lala:

 

TRANS AM ZORD GO!!!!!!!!11

 

......

 

why do all of you know this power rangers stuff? I never heard of a zord before.... just curious, how old are u guys posting cause I'm 24 and am totally out of the loop here

Anyway, i think it looks pretty cool. It might look better if you just did the outline though and dropped the pieces that go horizontally across the nostrils. Do you plan any outlining stripes elsewhere on the car?

 

u dont remember the power ranger boom back in the early 90s like around 93 or so..... they were like the pokemon or yugioh of today.... anyway... the ho0d lo0ks go0d the way it is just 1 question... if the hood looks like that wats the rest of the car lo0k like?

 

OK there are a few questions & Ill trie to answer them all. First Im 29 but I have 2 boys so there are qite a few PR toys laying around in my house. (maby uncontiously I copied one of my kids toys, Ill go check them out later.)
Now the car is a stock 88 GTA other than the hood, wich is on my back porch with a fiberglass wraparound wing waiting to be painted. & later Ill like to ad the new SLP rims painted dark gold just like the gta rims. And since Im painting the hole car Im adint stripes on the roof and they will die on the spoiler. Hopefuly Ill get the paint done in the next few months.
As for the car, is pretty much mint except for a few hiden rust spots & *** knows whats under the ground effects but all of that witll be taken care of when painted.

 

I LOVE that hood and I LOVE the black with gold, but I have to be honest and say that I'm not a big fan of the silver pen stripe thrown in the mix. In my opinion it kinda clashes a lil. Maybe if the pen stripe was black I might be more fond of it. But, that's just my opinion, different stokes for different folks. MY

 

well..i'm only 16 so i was part of the power ranger boom...
but....about the hood....i wont say it looks bad...but...yea...it could be a power rangers RA 1 hood...lol...no offence but ya know what i mean?

 

there is no silver, where did you see silver

 

going down the middle and sides? it looks silver to me as well..:shrug:

 

& look at the rear wing. the stripes go all the way over the roof (exept for the T-tops) and they die here on the spoiler.

 

If you ditch the two stripes running across the hood, behind the scoops it'll clean it up a lot. The spoiler stripe has a rounder , more conventional look TO ME. The hood stripes DO have a kind of evil droid look to them. Just MHO.Seems the front of the stripe started in some galaxy far, far away and ended herfe on earth in the 80's.

 

you hit the nail on the head with that one

 

It's not silver, it's the lighting.

...I don't like the decorative "w" ish looking stripe up by the nostrils. The rest is cool.

 

That w looking thing in the front is the bird, is just a little abstract. The thing is that I want a bird but I dont think those old school hood birds fit on the body design of 3rd gen firebirds, they are to blocky. Plus Ive always liked the graphics of the early 70's Trans Am's, the ones were there was a smaller bird on front of the hood and afther came the stripe that went all the way to the back and died on the trunck. & I tried mixing that design witn the new tripes form the ram air 2. Personaly I love how my desing came out & I think it would look killer on the car, but after looking at it for a while I started to see the toysh side of it. Like some people has stated here it looks kind of galaxish looking and I saw Power Rangers in it, & some people eaven saw Transformers. But I guess thats allright I just didnt want to look like I stold the desing from something in spesific. So what Ill do is that Im going to hang it in my room, leave a copy in my car, & one at the ofice, Im going to look at it for a couple of weeks & if I still think it looks cool by then Ill go ahead with it. & if I do Ill post some pic so that you guys can tell me what you think.

 

buddy i say go for it!! it would be diff and koo0ol!! im all for it!

 

well, if that's not silver then I like it. but, surely you can look at the pic and see where it looks silver...can't u??

and now that you mention it, I do see the bird at the bottom. i did not see that originally. now i think it looks like a hood from the batmobile.. i like it!

 

I love the paint scheme idea and the stripe. I dont like the little "W" design you added though. Other wise the stripe rocks. It reminds me of the 96-98 Hurst/Lingenfelter Firebirds.

Also I have the Gold SLP Hawk rims on my 94 GT and 99 and love them. IMO they are a bit too skinny for a thirdgen. I think Id actually go w/ the GTA's, or maybe the 91/92 Ronal Firehawk style accented w/ gold.

For the bird on the front, I would only use a stock style gold bird decal on the front bumper cover.

 

I think it looks good, I say go for it. I could take or leave the W design.

 

I retract this statement

I thought it looked lke a zord because the black stripes looked silver but if they are black it would look pretty cool

 

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but the W part looks like it is completing a "Fire"bird shape.....not really any transformer or power ranger.......if thats the case it reminds me of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.......or Ghostbusters......lol j/k

But thats my

 

Yes, the front w object is suposed to be a bird. And the SLP rims that I was talking about were the new ones for our cars the ones that look like the Corvette ones. I think that they would look cool on gold.

 

Sorry to burst your bubble but that gold bird has already been done.. lol..

 

Actually, that one is red, thats just a bad pic. That was before Bats changed over to Chevy power too, lol (really... in 1989, the car had a 396!)

 

Adam you CPW!!!

I think the black and gold would look sweet, assuming the rest of the car matched. I say go for it.

 

no sir. this is actually a black and gold batmobile. from what i learned on the web site where i got the pic, this is one of the first batmobile prototypes made and later they decided to go with red. the website had pics of both the red and gold car.

 

oooohhhh faced
