Looks really good, even better than the black & gold, in my opinion. What do you guys think?

I like it as well.  The red really pops on the black background.

Yours looks really nice.  It brings out the red interior.  I tried the combo with mine but it didn't do anything
for the car since I have black interior.  So I went with the blue instead.  I didn't like the yellow so I had a pinstriper
change the color to violet.  It was supposed to be purple but it was too late to change it.

It's close to perfect. But for me the decal is too bright and happy for the deep interior colour. Neither compliment the other as well as they should. But of course, there's only so many decal options.

I like it, even with the darker red inside. I also like the idea of the blue set on a black or blue car, and I still like gold on black. The gold SE cars are nice too, but that is one that I can't think of an alternate decal color that would work.

That's always been my favorite color combo on these cars, as well.

I ended up with the charcoal/silver graphics on black, though, because that color scheme has a sentimental value to me. It was the same color scheme for a Trans Am that was for sale locally in 2006 when I first got obsessed with these cars. It was at a buy-here-pay-here for $7900 and the interior stunk of cigarattes, but I loved it. Got away and was sold before I could get a job.

Even though my TA is a PHS verified SE, I am tired of the Black & Gold overload. I am going to go with the pictured orange decals but color change the interior to black [dash already is] Like the takes you guys made.

I have the charcoal graphics too. Just how it came, I really like them, It was nice to see the red in them too. Mine were faded away by the time I got the car.

I LOVE the black and gold, but as mentioned, its so over done.  I am weird however and like to see odd things at car shows like Pintos or Pacers, just because they are not ever seen.  While there aren't many TAs around here, I prefer my maroon one.  It originally had the red bird on it but it was removed for a repaint (and not a good one) at some point in her life.  Since the shade is a tad off from the original, the red didn't look right, so I went with the gold decals.
