I think it looks pretty good. I'd love to see a slightly rescaled hood bird from the V-6 turbo firebird put on a V-8 power buldge hood. Though maybe with the 70's esque feathers removed and more of a block outline.

OK so its settled. I'm doing the bird! Hopefully the car will get painted by sometime in April and I'll put the bird on shortly after. And btw, post up pictures of YOUR birds!

 

Those 2nd gen birds with turbos were V8s. I thought about doing just what you said, but decided to just put it on the bulge more similar to how it was done on the early thirdgen trans ams, only without the louvered look. For some reason, the site you linked to doesn't show that style hoodbird.

 

I added the bird to my Trans am yesterday, also the sail birds as well makes her stand out more.

 

heres my 91 trans am ws6!

 

I'm more of a Camaro guy, but I can only see the chicken looking great under two circumstances:

#1: Its ghosted - badass x 100000

or

#2: The rest of the car is 'modern', meaning it has modern wheels (17,18) with a nice stance, and nice paint, and the right look. Taking a car that still looks like its trapped in the late 80's and sticking a bird on the hood looks a little odd to me. I like the pic of the black 91-92 GTA in the first page; a more modern looking car takes the '*******' factor out of having a chicken on the hood...

ie.


Just my humble opinion...

 

My wife loves how it turned out even if the painter was skeptical when she asked him to do it. Most of the time you don't even notice it until the angle catches it just right. So far everyone has loved the effect with it being as subtle as it is.

And I'll save the huge full hood graphics for the 2nd gen TA that I'm going to resto-mod next...

 

It can look good, but looks awkward from certain angles. I loved mine



Eventually it started peeling from being out in the elements. This is what was left after I peeled it back off. It's wax

 

just wanted to um....show you guys my latest... project?

 

wow WTF? who in their right mind would putthat on the hood of that car.... seriously? and would anyone know how i can fix the back window in my bird?
the original one feel out awhile ago and i have since bought a new one... but its not wide enough to reach the sides!

I was thinking since its taller then i need it to be.... could i stand it up cut it in half and put them in like that like a spilt window?

i know there would be a slit in the windows center

coud i mend thhat together or bond it together with something?


if anyone can help let me know... PM me

 

That's a damn discrace...

 

Well....at least I am representing firebird wherever I go now lol, even though it might not be the best publicity

 

If it was even like a Grand Prix or something it wouldn't be that bad. But on a grandma toyota camry? It's like putting The Judge on a civic, or Z28 on an Escort.

 

Well the way I see it is that firebird mixed with Camry is better than just plain crappy Camry...plus I got the decal for free so...

 

I love the hood chicken when it is done right. The only reason we haven't done it to any of ours is that we are afraid to try putting it on without messing it up, and we're not willing to pay to have it done.

 

You're not the only one, I thought of ET the day I bought my GTA.

 

haha, that is awesome, its just like a bigass "My other car is a Trans Am" bumper sticker...

 

Thats awsome

I'm gonna put a huge chevy bowtie on my birds hatch.

No seriously Does any one got a picture of one on a 4 in cowl hood?
