Personally I would leave the center alone I love the way it says PONTIAC and just polish it to make it match the shiny finish of the blackouts. I would also consider spraying on some nightshades on the 3rd brake light or just completely remove it. Looks great!!

looks very nice, and I would also clean up the center and polish it, and remove the white stickers on each lense. (something else that would look good is a window tint to match the lights )

IMO, the middle part is what makes the 'bird blackout's look so cool. Put it on there.

I think you should remove the GTS stickers as well. Otherwise looks good blacked out.

Thats kinda what I was thinking. They are soooo shiny, that I can see the reflection of two people standing about ten to twelve feet behind the car, and can tell the color of their clothes!

nobody liked him back in the day, and i'm sure a resurface of any of his posts/photo's will cause a debate.

Two different states. Two different cars. Two different bumper covers. Two different years. Two different spoilers. The only resemblence I see is the silver paint on his car and Kidrth's. Be careful where you start fights.
