Rich,

I think we just got our first pink & lilac 2nd gen which is why he's not sharing. I assume you're going with red graphics then Steve ;)

Mate if you could see me ive got tears in my eyes!  Ill be honest the wife loves that Gm Sunburst, to me its a pain in the wotsit because it means my prep will take longer whereas the white would be easier!
The car may not have a chicken put back on as i plan on making it different this time.
Its so ironic, i get picked for January and here we are talking about changing the colour of it!

Im sure that soem people will be upset with the choices, but all where given a great deal of thought!

Steve... REAL men don't do ANYTHING pink and lilac  :o ::)...especially Trans Ams  ;D

I wont be disappointed in your choices Sir. I appreciate that you asked our opinion. You must make your Bird into what will please you... and hopefully your wife will like it enough to stop badgering you. J/K ;) ;D

I like different... so go for it!!!!!!

All kidding aside Steve, I'm sure you'll enjoy whatever color you end up choosing.
