stripes on a 96 Firebird

RG501 · #1 05-23-2005, 05:40 PM

i found a stripe set i want to get for my firebird (96) and i was wondering if they would fit cause they dont give me a width or anything.

http://www.autografics.com/pages/birds4.htm

thats the link. after clicking that, click stripe sets then find the "Ram Air Style Stripes"

would those fit on my hood? cause i know my hood has the little vents that are indented into the hood instead of comming out like the newer hoods. i figure they would fit sense the ram air scoops are comming up instead of pushed down like my hood.

Those probably wouldn't look too good on your car. They are designed for the Ram Air hood....obviously.
I would recommend taking your car to a body shop, and just asking about some stickers.

Personally, I think that money would be better spent under the hood, but it is only an opinion.

I just looked through all that site, and I can honestly say that some of their products look cheap. I love that cheap ass version of the WS.6 emblem.

The only thing I could see myself buying off that page would be the door 'Trans Am' stickers and the license plate cover sticker. But, I would rather take the time, and paint them myself anyways. That way I don't have any stickers trying to fall off on me.

Yeah, I dont see why they wouldn't fit. They might not be a perfect fit of course, since it's designed for a different type of hood. But you could always trim it to size.

Mr. Luos, you dont think it'll look good with stripes on it? i drew a picture of what it'd look like:

i think it'd look good. but i guess thats just your opinion so i dont have to follow it.

Just me. I have never been a fan of any kinda of sticker.

Seriously go talk to a body shop. They might be able to get something cut up for you.

lmfao @ your picture!! hahaha ohh man that's some bad paint skills...wouldn't look too bad I don't think, but i'm all for spending money under the hood before around it.

hehe, my paint skills are freakin sweet!

im definatly getting these decals after i get my K+B CAI and my Flowmaster exhaust put on. After that, i dont really know what to do besides decals. Maybe a new cat.? i dont really know.

Mr Luos, what mods have you done on your TA?

You really want this list???

SLP Airbox lid, SLP 85mm MAF, SLP Smooth bellow, LS6 intake, SLP longtube headers, SLP hi-flow cats, MSD 8.5mm Plug Wires, NGK TR55 plugs, SLP subframe connectors, SLP Strut Tower Brace, Lunati 226/234 554/575 112 LSA camshaft, Patriot Dual Gold Valvesprings w/ titanium retainers, CompCams hardened pushrods, Lou's Short Stick shifter handle, Hypertech 160 degree thermostat, Removed EGR and AIR.

Appearance.....not much.
White faced dash gauges, custom embroidered headrests, chrome lugnuts, black WS.6 badge off a collectors edition Trans Am.

good lord what a list. how long did it take you to do all that stuff?? and what cat would you suggest?

Mr. Luos · #10 05-24-2005, 09:42 PM

I would recommend changing cats only if you need one, or if you are going with headers, and want a hi-flow cat.
I went with hi-flow SLP cats when I installed my headers. I will use them again, but I am knocking them out, so it only looks like it has cats.
I have had my car for almost 3 years now....been an ongoing process. Never going to be finished.

RG501 · #11 05-24-2005, 09:54 PM

how much HP does all that add up to? gotta be somewhere around 500. hehe.

how much do you think CAI and Flowmasters will get me? 10hp?

Not sure if this site has what you're looking for, but they have a large selection of headers for the V6's.

doesnt your slp exhaust set-up start to sound all distorted and not so good at WOT, all the slp set-ups i have seen never sound too hot at WOT, but hopefully yours does
