Default rear fascia ?

i know somebody has got an answer for this. on the rear fascia, in between the taillights of my 2000 ws6, the "trans am" and "firechicken" decals are fading. i was wondering if anybody had a solution for this. i checked with firebat, he said i would need to polish the old ones off. any other ideas? tia.

The OEM Firechicken is painted on. There is a way to polish it off. People have posted about it. Do a search. Them buy the new decal and install.

get some acetone and a paper cloth and rub it on the firechicken until it comes off... should come right off... it will just be plain black under it. I would recommend waxing it right afterwards... be careful and not get any one the body of the car, I dont think it would take the paint off, but you never know. My brother and friend did it to their TAs.
