White 99 Firebird with a blue phoenix? Theme of the car is white and blue. Yes or No?

No. Not a Trans Am = No bird.

I concur.

Bit if you must .. neither. First one is too much going down the sides, and second is too small

if i had a 98-02 T/A or bird, it would look similar to this...

1st one's too large, second ones too small.
Sizing's important for me before I can really grasp if I like it or not (and then which bird looks best).

no, thats the Mecham Formula made by Mecham Performance. i was in contact with them regarding the flush mount bird spoiler. i was going to get it up until i found out how heavy it is. lol and on the car it would be for, weight IS a big concern.

...but be advised pricing is up there. and yes they are still in business. lol

Mecham T/A

Who really cares if its a T/A or not, its a statement none the less.

honestly i wouldnt go with any of them it goes down the sides to much and blue and white ehh not that great of a combo if you do get it done go with black but in my opinion just get a ram air hood for it

I agree with this. What's the statement, I like TA birds?

first bird is pretty sweet...though i prob wouldnt do flames, but the bird, that size, across the entire hood is cool. always dug white & blue themed cars..

I wanted to fit it to the hood, just like the classic ones. I have one blank hood already, sold my T/A hood, and have another one i want to put the bird on.

i would do a bird that decently covers the hood but doesn't extend to the fenders. that first blue is nice.

My car is getting painted before the "Street Wars" show this year.
I always wanted a blue pearl and i got in touch with a guy and got the
mix for he paint that he used. This will be the color of the car, its artic white
with blue pearl.

That's the color I want my 69 to be. Can't wait to see it done. They used a bird that fit the hood in a gmhightech article

I dont want to be cheap when it comes to this bird.
My airbrusher is doing it instead of getting a vinyl sticker.

And if thats the color u want, look at my car when its done and if u like it i'll just give u the mix codes.

I'm not a fan of the bird, but do what you want. It's your ride and make it what you want it to be.

If you are dead set on doing this, I would go with something like the first one with less flames and do not overlap onto the fenders
