[QUOTE=boilermaker;179216]I love the name!!!! I got some ideas of where to ghost it into the CF pieces or maybe painted somewhere on the car. And I also like the idea of valve covers!! QUOTE]

What about "CF-71" side badges below the fender vents like these for the Z51 Corvette and then "F R E E D O M" on the rear filler panel where "P O N T I A C" would normally go?

We could also do "Freedom Bird" or something trailing the back edges of the hoopins (in black against the painted part of the hood)... and/or "CF-71" on the sides of the Ram Air scoops?

Let me know your thoughts...

V/R,

Need to be carefull where you ghost anything in on the car so it wont take from the car, this is something you will have to finalize once you have paint on the car, I would do the blue car with carbon stripes and ghost it into the stripes and on the side of the hood like you stated.

If you get the valve covers Billet we can put the name in them and paint them to match the block. that would be a nice touch

I'm thinking very subtle. Maybe in a matte clear in the stripes or on the backside of the rear spoiler. Just something simple that doesn't take away from the car.

I'm still in search of a solid billet valve cover! All I can find at the big box companies (summit and jegs) are cast Edelbrock and some cast GM. You Pontiac guys have it tough!!

I found this one thru google. A little bit on the pricey side though. There are several others i found for less money.

I may have missed this, but how do you get carbon fiber on the rear panel and stripes like that???

Very cool...I love the sunset red by the way.

On the Firebirds possibly the Camaros also. The center section of the tail panel is a removable urethane piece. And Matt at Anvil is recreating it out of carbon fiber, along with the deck lid, rear spoiler and the rear bumper!
