As there is a Modern Appearance Thread, I thought I should come up with a Classic Apperance Thread.

I am trimming my Firebird to look more like the old muscle cars and played a little in photoshop. As I am soon going to plasti-dip my car I am thinking of the color design.. Think I will stay with white

So heres what I´ve done:

ORIGINAL:


Plymouth Satellite Roadrunner Style


Plymouth Satellite Roadrunner Style + Lights at Nose

Old School Rear End Stripe

Old School + Plymouth

Old School Stipe + Firebird Logo

Stripe in Red + Logo

Stripe in Red

Stripe + Logo

Plymouth Satellite Roadrunner + SS / 350 Camaro Style + 2x Sidemarker

Plymouth Satellite Roadrunner + SS / 350 Camaro Style at Firebird Logo + 2x Sidemarker



and here is what I also think thats looking great:
the exhaust from the bandit on the thirdgen
also the paint is nice, but I dont think on a white bird

 

what do you think ? do you like it ? and if... which one do you like most

any other ideas ?

 

Soooooo you're trying to make a Pontiac look like a Plymouth...

 

About the exhaust... I'm glad you posted the picture of the black T/A. I've always wondered how a 3rd gen car would look with that style of exhaust. I kinda like it.

 

The exhaust is cool!

 

I just found some more photos of that black T/A.




Doesn't look so great from the rear. They'd look a lot better pushed out to the sides of the body instead of being closer to the middle.

 

No, im more like trying to make a Pontiac look like a old style muscle car.

I am just a fan of this plymouth paint thing.
I also like the Camaro SS Striping a lot, as well as the combo of these.


what could be another old fashion thing to do on a bird..
How do you like the two side marker I did on the picture ?

 

I like your car the way it is now really. The black TA is sweet, but the tips do look kinda funny from the rear.

 

I like the two side marker idea.

 

I like this stripe for your car

 

and how about 17" rallye II wheels?

 

I'm kind of diggin' the red stripe idea with the sailbird, but i think the logo should be red as well.

 

I kinda like the rear end stripe with the bird on the sail panel both in black.

 

Pick a color. Either white with black, or white with red. Not white, red & black, as it looks like butt.

 

Very Nice!!
