White Bird with a black top

**robcas47** · 12-26-2009, 06:23 PM

Does anyone have a pic of a white Bird with a Black top? Considering doing this if I like how it looks. Thinking about doing a White/Silver Concept with Black accents and a Black top.

You can check mine out, I have the black top, and black accents.

It cost $300.00, but that included the mirrors, nostrils, rear bumper, and I had them paint underneath the t-tops, so that when they are off, its black also. A couple body shops quoted me as high as $800.00, so check around.

Thanks, but I think I need something on the a-pillar, to break up all the black. I like the ta insgnia from the 70's models, but theres already enough Transam's on the car. So I've been kinda leaning toward a white LS1 vinyl lettering with the Transam font, but still undecided. Will keep thinking about it.

That kinda what I saw my car looking like

I thought I would try something a little different. A white TA with a black license plate cover with a white bird overlay. Not sure if I like it or not. What do you guys think. One picture is normal, and two are of the new look.

Its not too bad, really. Looks nice

**Bo's 98 Ta** · 02-06-2010, 09:34 PM

Looks good

**robcas47** · 02-07-2010, 11:13 AM

Looks good, if you had not painted the nostrils black I think it would look out of pace, but since you have so many black accents and the nostrils are so close and also black it works. Good job and thanks for posting something different. Does the front spoiler have black painted on the inside of the inlets?

Yes the inlets are black, but when I did that the white bumper cover showed through, so I put black vinyl on the cover to appear black behind the spoiler.
