Some advice please
I have a straight up Trans am and have been running the GTA wheels since I had the car in the mid 90's. Ok so my question is would it be wrong to have the GTA emblems affixed when I get the car painted? I love the exterior look of the GTA because of their emblems over the trans am decals. So would it be lame if I did that since it originally wasn't manufactured as a true GTA?

Uhh, yeah. Anybody that knows the difference will think you're an idiot. I'm not saying that you are, but how many times have you seen a Camaro RS or A 91/92 Z28 with the IROC-Z stickers on it. Regardless of your intent, people will recognize that it isn't a GTA and will put you in the loser class.

Re: Some advice please
I would/did also resist the urge to mis-label it. I just had mine in paint/body and chose to stay true to my car's RS badging instead of going with Z28/IROC-Z labels. Seems more legit to show my car as a modified RS instead of a IROC/Z28 poser. Just my two cents.

Ok but what if I changed the color of the transam decals from silver to red on a black paint job?
