To Stripe/Accent or Not?

**stevenm357** · 03-16-2008, 05:01 PM

I just recently got a 2000 Trans am off of a board member and have been thinking of putting some accents/stripes on the car.. but i DO like the look of it stock so i'm not sure what to do. it just seems with the Pewter metalic color the hood scoops/raises in the hood don't stand out as much as they do in other colors

I am thinking about the Below front stripe kit in black.

So let me know what everyone thinks I'm undecided. I want the car too look smooth and elegant but have a nice edge to it.

I appreciate all comments/criticisms.

i think it would look hot to black out everything. maybe something else to consider (if its possible) instead of using black, how about a gunmetal color (ie dark grey)?

I like the black accents, go for it

I like it better without any stripes or blacked out areas. I have a veryyy similar car.

..so I might be little biased. I don't even want to fill in the lettering on mine. I just have the stock Ram Air decals on the hood, and I ordered some sail panel decals (not on the car yet) recently, but I don't plan to do much else. Pewter is a sexy colour on T/As.

I'm definitley going to make "Trans Am" black. and add blacken the bird on the front license plate hider. probabally "pontiac" on the rear too.

Very nice car!

IMO, I wouldn't do it.

BTW, I think the tips are sticking out way to far.

Agreed on the tips. It has a loudmoth on it.. nad it's annying as shit i plan on changing that out some time. not sure to what it has no cats making it uncomfortable cruising at 70. at 1800 RPM.
