Re: Need Help! with 82-83 Trans Am decals

Here is a picture for reference.



Going by memory. The tip of the sail panel bird's wing is three inches back from the door glass and the bottom is two inches up from the crease in the 1/4 panel.

The bottom of the hood bird is 1/2 inch back from the tip of the hood.

The Trans Am decals go right above the center body line between the door and the wheel.

The stripes go right above the crease that seperates the black paint and gold paint. When you get to the rear license plate the stripes don't continue behind it. They stop after an inch or two. Also the top stripe or two is interrupted by the fender vents. They do not go on the plastic fender vent.

Hope this helps.
