Default hood decal

it may be stupid, or it may look cool, i do love that model of the firebird,
post what you think?

my truck is indigo blue, and he does have it in silver / gray.
the decal will fit. maybe someone on here can do a little photo art and give me an idea of what it would look like on my truck.

ask yourself this question.... is your truck a Firebird?


that bird is one with that specific car, and i think when anyone looks at your truck they will just think about the firebird and not your truck.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't do it man! Your truck is not a Poncho! No screaming chickens on the hood or anywhere! You're better off getting a naked chick airbrushed on there or somehthing!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, leave the car badges, stripes and decals to the cars!

Even if we did agree with you, I don't think it would come out very good. you have to remember that chicken (a fiery phoenix, actually) was placed upon a fairly flat hood and I think the contours of your hood would not sit well with it.

For pete's sake - don't do it, man!!!

HAHA if you had ever done one of these you would'nt even consider it. Putting this decal on a hood is one of the hardest things I've ever done. I ruined 3 the first time and 2 the second time. I'll never do them again.

Eh....nah. I'm definitely an advocate of different strokes for different folks, but that would be uglier than a toupe' with a chin strap.
