im think of putting on a 85-87 outline style hood bird in silver on my t/a. ive seen pics of them on clean cars, and it looks pretty sharp. ive also seen it on shitboxes, and it looks bad. anyone have pics? suggestions about it?

Never looked right on our cars. Besides you wanted to keep the stock '89 look.

Even Sam is saying no and he is a true firebird lover.

If you were to go with the Gold Thirdgen Bird, you gotta make the Wheels Gold, and all the decals gold. Which is the best decision being that your car has a tan interior.

But what is silver on your car? You have a tan interior. Just go with Gold decals and gold GTA wheels.
