Where to buy front filler Bird? I am looking to find a front bumper filler panel for my 98 Firebird, hopefully in sport gold metallic
anyone know where they can be obtained?
Can the dealer order them in colors or do they come unpainted??
Thanks in advance!

Afterthoughts Auto sells them. I got a clear one with "blemishes" for 30 plus shipping. You take it and paint it. Cheapest option. You could also paint it so that the sides of the bird are still clear, and put a light behind it, which is what I'm going to do. It looks badass.

They're on ebay from time to time. I bought one in Silver for my front end conversion there.
Billy Graham's Camaro/Firebird Salvage should have them too....he's a great guy to deal with, and he might even have one in your color. Your color isn't very common, so finding one in your color might be tough.

I was just gonna say ebay or the dealer is your best bet but it might cost you a pretty penny to get one and paint it to match. But like Y2K TA said- check with the salvage yards too as your color isnt to popular. Good luck, I'll keep my eyes out for one.

I searched for one of these things for an eternity(because I didn't want a clear one). I asked everyone I knew and no one ever had a good answer. I FINALLY found one on ebay after searching for months! I went through hell to get it too. I stayed on the computer watching it day and night and the last few hours of it I was in class(not working on my test obviously) and I finally out bid the other people but it cost me 80 freakin dollars! I didn't mind though 'cause I knew my bf would be happy after I got that and his front bumper painted to make the car look perfect.....well before I could get that done HE SOLD HIS "BABY"!!!!!!
