Stripes don't seem to work well on birds. The lines really aren't there for them. But orange by itself would be pretty cool.

Orange=Ugly. Sorry. Orange and pink are the two colors that I hate. Nothing looks good in those colors except for a tiger.

Whoops! I forgot it was a bird. I wouldn't put stripes on a bird either. My bad.

I think a hugger orange bird would not only be sweet but it'd also be different, go for it!

Dude! Where'd you find that? Do you know who's it is and what exactly the color is?

I've been wanting my car orange with white stripes but I kinda wanted to see an orange a little brighter than your standard hugger orange.

Please let me know.

To keep it in the Pontiac family of colors, you should go with 69 GTO Carousel Red. It's close to Hugger Orange, just a bit redder.

EDIT: here's what it looks like.

Id definitely agree with the orange being a different color..definitely an eye-catcher....stay away from the stripes...Camaros have body lines that compliment the stripes...birds really don't

if you can..HARLEY Orange...a deeper more robust orange...not so bright as hugger

that candy orange color is sweet. i have seen it on a few cars in person and it absolutly blows everyone away. as for the stripe, dual stripes maybe not, but my buddy (jucinGTA) had a red 88 with a single silver stripe down the middle and it looked cool as hell. a orange car with a single black stripe would be kick *** . white and silver could work too. ill try and get a pic of his car.

No, No, stripes look great on a bird, what about getting the LS1 style ram air hood and following the two nostrils with black stripes? I would have to think that would look awsome with the black mesh GTA wheels!
