Not a huge fan of it, im just weird like that, BUT it is done tastefully, they look like high quality units and looks like you took the time to make them super straight!!

I'm surprised the plate frames fit! Glad to see they do.

Thats it for the decals. I was shooting for a scheme that would be very similar to a factory option package. Any further exterior mods will be wheels, painted calipers, and exhaust tips. Given how all that looks I may add a subtle hood scoop, but thats still a maybe at this point.
I'm also very happy the plate frames fit. I was worried after you told me about that :O

Actually I'd love to graft on the skin of a GTO or G8 hood, since I do like the scoop treatment of both of those, but given the aluminum hood material that could be problematic. I think the G8 scoops would be a subtle touch that would go well with the front end of the Bonne. I'm not opposed to a bolt-on as long as it flows with the lines of the car. If the look is too eye-catchy or overbearing then it'll be a no-go.
This car reminds me of a Lear Jet, sleek, roomy and graceful. Its not as fast or showy as a fighter jet, but still just one glance tells you it has the goods.
While the decals do come off a bit showy for now, after the wheels,calipers, rotors and exhaust are in place, I think it will make the right statement. When I get the engine bay like I want it, then the image will be complete.

the 2 bonnevilles on here that ive seen look good with the scoops, but like 01bonneSC said i wouldnt do a stick on.. im might attempt to do scoops on mine. Your stickers look awesome, i love it.

Except 1 thing....if Pontiac had done those from the factory, I'd think they would have also added the wings to the front emblem. I know it's a little extra measuring and slight modification to the original size, but it would look look awesome to see the ghosthawk logo folded over the nose using the original metal emblem on the car.
Very nice look. Really seperates it from all the other Bonnevilles that look the same. You did a great job.
Cadet Blue....Not perfect...But paid for.

Looks awesome! It's perfectly under the "just enough" category. I like HurstGN's idea with having the wings spread over the nose emblem. That would be a nice finishing touch.
