A little Appearance Mod I did....
A little Appearance Mod I did....
I dunno if anyone has done this before, but, I was sitting here thinking (scary I know) and came up with this idea. At first, I was going to put "WS6" or "Trans Am" but, I thought that would be kinda redundant seeing as how it does say Trans Am all over the exterior of the car, but, no where does it say Pontiac. So, I pulled the 3rd brake light lense off, and started sanding. I sanded it smooth to get the bumps off, then wetsanded, and basically its reverse decal. I layed out the letters, put two thin coats of paint on it, and then one coat of a Laquer clear coat on it. I took these pics with my video camera, so they quality isnt the best, but, you get the idea. I actually have one more little appearance mod to do, but, its raining right now. Pics of that later....

I like it, reminds me of the Fiero GT. Remember the center had "ponitac" that lit up with the running lights.</font>

I was thinking about wiring it so that it works like the taillights i.e dim while on, and bright when the brake are applied. Wouldnt be to hard to do I dont think....

Since your brake light only has one filament it's really not possible. It could be done by running, say, 7 volts to it, but you would burn it out earlier. </font>

Heh... well, I got the paint at Wal-Mart, the sand paper at True Value, and the idea, outta my warped mind. In other words, I made it. Kinda like I said in the first post, before the pics........

By the way... ya, the import crowd takes stickers to a new platue but I think we have our own hall of shame. How about the old HEAVY CHEVY? Ugh.

LOL, just playing devils advocate. You got me on that one Joe, but what happens when it ends up on a 350? Is it okay then?
Yeah, Ricers do take it to the next level... I think if Joe, or anyone, had one that said WS6 all across his hood and TRANS AM at an angle over the entire side of the door and quarter panel I could truthfully call it rice, but I actually like the WS6 stickers
