I just bought a 87 GTA, L98/700R4, on Monday, I've had 4 Camaros before, so I'm not completely new to 3rd gens.

Anyways, it has a "Trans Am" windshield banner on it, but I was thinking of making a "Gran Turismo Americano" windshield banner.

What do ya'll think?

Also, what about the color? White, like most banners, or more goldish, like the color of the wheels, and emblems?

 

That's a lot of letters! Got pics?

 

All I have is what's on there now. I don't have a pic of what I was considering, since it doesn't exist yet. But, the spacing is good, so it doesn't look jammed together.

 

Seems kind of pointless to me. I wouldnt like anything on my windshield to block my view.

 

I wouldn't do it.

 

If you do, I say put it on the back window. And expect a lot of people to go 'huh?'

 

I'd fully expect the Huh? or have people expect it to be Spanish.

I already made one. I have my own vinyl machine to cut out letters or graphics, just not sure if I'm gonna put it on.

Worst case, I put it on and don't like it, I could just make another Trans Am one.

 

That's a real positive statement...

It's called being proud of what you have.

 

No kidding. That's why I did this:

 

Mind if I copy that idea?

I think I would though, reverse cut just the letters out, in red vinyl, and put it on the inside of the lens though. At glance, it would look totally stock, until I hit the brakes. Then, only the letters of Trans Am would show!

 

Go ahead. What I did there was print the letters backwards onto some sticker paper. Then I applied them to a piece of plastic from a flourescent light cover, painted, and peeled the letters off. I wanted it to look black like that because I hate teh 86 high mount stoplight and I think it looks better with the black around, but hey. That's me.

 

Oh, just realized you achieved what I was referring to, basically. Only the letters light up.

Don't blame ya on the outside stop lamp. Not very fond of those myself.

I think I have one of those hatches, sitting around somewhere...

 

You're right--sorry! Just making a bad joke!

deleted with apoligizies!

 

Post up a pic. How short did you have to make the letters to fit? I was figuring they would be too short to look good with that many letters.

 

I made a white one, but then decided I need a gold/bronze vinyl, to match the stock emblems. I'll probably get some gold/bronze vinyl next week.

I have a jpeg of what it looks like though. I always output my designs for customer approval, before making them.

BTW, I made the letters 4" tall, just like what's already on the car. The "Trans Am".
