Question for all that own firebirds

[Silverbird2002]

I have noticed that some of you that have newer firebirds have the firebird painted on the front Fasicia where the License Plate would be, I was wondering if you did the painting yourself, or if theres a aftermarket firebird License Plate front Fasicia that I can get that already has the firebird painted on.

Thanks again

afterthoughtsauto.com http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/decals-emblems.html
lmperformance.com
or fourthcircledesigns.com to name a few

That's why I went with a Clear front plate filler.

i have the stock plate cover in front but i was thinking of putting the clear cuz i had an idea

if this has been thot of and/or done b4 please let me know

i thot it mite be kinda cool to take the clear one and put the vinyl sticker on it, and instead of a license plate behind it put 1 or 2 lights behind it so the light shines through but u see the bird symbol. kinda like the batman symbol but for us a firebird

and here in cali im supposed to remove the cover and put my plate too but i leave the cover cuz i think it looks better. for some reason the cops, here at least, are car racist. import cars get pulled over for not having a front license but corvettes and birds roll around and nothing

I got a ticket for not having my license plate the other day. I wasn't even driving the car. The car was parked outside my girlfriend's apartment. I'll pay the 40 bucks but there is no way I am putting a license plate in front. The car look so much better with the plate cover in front.

Personally I use all Brent Franker vinyl decals on my car. Check my sig for pics. I bought a reflective black metallic one for the front and it looks great!

Well I looked at the clear plate but thats illegal in NJ too. My friend got pulled over for having a clear plastic cover on his. I think thats crap.

Oh I saw something where some guy painted his clear plate black except for the raised part where the bird is and put LEDs behind it... looks wicked.

oh man im drooling, i wana try now

post pics please

Please don't buy vinyl from Afterthoughts. too expensive but I would recommend the blemished clear front cover. For all of those that have one, if you want to make the firebird stand out a little better, do some wet sanding with 200 - 400 grit paper. It will turn semitransparent. I can email a pic if you want, I would rather not show my plate to the world.
