Re: tell me what you think

i dont hate the pheonix stickers on the hood like most people on this site, but it appears to be blue and stands out too much. other than that, its nice. go for that 350, then maybe some wheels. formulas rock

Re: tell me what you think

If I had a run-of-the-mill thirdgen (not that mine is extra special ... but it is not just run-of-th-mill), I would slap the screaming chicken on it in a heartbeat. I love those decals. I agree that the blue stands out a little much ... but I can't think of an alternative. I don't think they made those in black & silver ... but I think they might have in black & gold.

Re: tell me what you think

I love the screaming 'birds!

I did an OEM on a 2nd gen, and was nervous as hell the whole time! The least he could have done is wait until AFTER I put it on his car, to tell me it cost him $400!

I'd have gone black & gold, on a black car, but your blue looks good too. It's a personal choice, in the end.

Carry on a few more tasteful blue accents, and it'll really lool good!

Re: tell me what you think

The older style decal adds a nice look to it. Definetly go for the 350.

What would have looked real nice is if you put all of the decals from bandits trans am on it.

I know I don't have much pull on this site, and I don't want to sound like a hater but I'm not loving that decal at all. Sorry man. 350 is a good idea too.

Re: tell me what you think

that your drive-way you're in? can't keep it clean. when the wheels are dirty they don't look so good but when they're clean and shiney, makes the car look good. very nice formula, definetly go 350. not a fan of the decal on these cars, doesn't look so bad on yours.

I like it and I agree that Silver would have been better if they made it.

And DUH yeah to the 350!

Ditto...why blue? I was thinking of putting this one on the hood of my black TA and a small one on each sail pan.

Re: tell me what you think

It looks good...I like the screamin' eagle but since you have a black car...perhaps a gold sticker might suit it better

Re: tell me what you think

ya my girlfriends brother had it and asked if i wanted it, so i though that it would be cool to have that huge sticker on it, so she bought it for 50$. Also i think i need tranny mounts cuz my shifter moves up and down when i floor it is that bad to be driving her.
