That said, a good friend, who deals mostly in 3rd gen cars had a guy make his IROC and FORMULA big door decals and seemed like no big deal.. should I inquire on this process? they were about 1/4 the price of the GM decals at the time, maybe they were more like vinyl stickers? just a thought
Hi Bruce, Thank you. I have an NOS rear spoiler Trans AM and a couple of NOS fender Trans Am decals, so with the bird added, I'll go ahead and add those to the scope.

Regarding decals in general, digitally printed vinyl decals are easy squeezy in today's graphics/marketing world. It's fun and easy to have custom graphics made for cars these days. There's just one hitch, those decals are almost exclusively printed on white vinyl with colors added. The Trans Am stripes are printed on clear vinyl to achieve the clear reveal on either side of the black pin stripe on the edge which changes the game significantly.

I'll visit with the printers to see if the Trans Am and bird would be best printed on white, or if they should be included in the screen print runs with the stripes. I know the bird reproductions on the market today are screen printed.
