Ok, here is the 85/86 Trans Am, I know the Black Aero Spoiler was an option in 85...

I need to know if I need to change anything...

The black plastic strip that runs under the GFX has a notch or two in it, for getting under the car and I think also to designate the jacking point.

Here was the latest version that I uploaded for the shirts.

I got the 5.0 LITER F.I. under the vent, & I made the gray stripe a little wider.

The grey stripe is not a stripe of solid color, rather it is suppose to fade from nothing to grey. It was a transition piece.

Cool pic. And a close match to the actual car pic above.
