Wonder how many extra bumpers they made. Hate to get in a fender bender with a car like that over there.

GM exported Pontiac Firebirds to Europe until 95. From 96 they switched over to Camaros.

I have switched to export light on my 1999, just to pass yearly inspection and not be pulled over by cops wining about wrong color - getting unnecessary tickets.....

kind of like the export tails. Breaks up the all red lights. I take it you had to import the 99, since you say they stopped firebird in 95. Looks good though.

That's the best looking car in that parking lot! Strangely enough, I kind of like the added yellow turn signals.

If you see a Camaro, take note of the ugly export mirrors!

I'm going to a gm/American part house and a auto salvage shop to find some tail lights. I can ask for some other parts just let me know!
