    the old ones? it wouldn't have had any on it stock... somebody must have put some on it

      You can sort of see the smudge on the b-pillars that's where the old ones were. I sort of like having something there though, it differentiates the car a little. I'm toying with the idea of wrapping the entire hoop in carbon fiber, but I'm afraid it would look tacky.

        No carbon fiber would indeed make it look tacky.

        When you say smudge did you mean from the previous emblem? You know you could use WD40 to get that sticky smudge off.

        I don't know how Goo Gone would be on paint, but that can get rid of it too.

          It isn't actually a smudge on the car, trust me if it were that easy it would be long gone. The paint around where the old birds were is actually discolored. So I covered them, out of sight out of mind. I wonder how it would look to wrap the hoop in matte black...hmm...

            sorry to bring the thread back from the dead but you could always paint the pillar black and be done with the emblem and smudge all together. Just a thought.

              I have toyed with that idea, but I don't think the black hoop looks right on the firebirds, it is more of a camaro thing. And like I said before, I like the big 3rd gen birds, it is something that no other firebird has and it isn't overly tacky in my opinion. As a side note, the car is down in FL with me now and has since gotten SFC's and some other goodies.

                Couple pics from today after a quick rinse. I hate it when the garage is full so I have to leave her outside though...
