Personally I find the whole big decal on the back window to look ridiculous.

I don't get the point of it.

I think the Firebird logo would look better on the hood.

And a big *** bird on your back window will definitely affect your driving.

That's the point, let the imports look stupid. Don't do it. The bird on thehood would look good if you don't have one already. Just my opinion.

I had a big white bowtie on my first car/camaro. I liked it. But with the bowtie I could see right trough it when you looked out the back window since it was just an outline. But now that I've grownup, I tend to stay with the smaller stickers. Top of the windshiled or hatch, so I can make those aggressive lane changes easier. lol. Adam :-)

Hey there.. Just my 2. cents. But... Stay away from the big log's. Stick it on the hood if you REALLY want it. (I think those look tacky though.) Get a smaller logo... Throw the FB logo on the nose of the hood. Get a Pontiac decal and do it on the top of the front windshield or the top/bottom of the back window. Just don't do the entire thing...

As for it obstructing your vision, if you don't have a rear view mirror, doesn't really matter now does it? (Like me. Haha.)
