I'm going to use some offensive language here, but it looks RICERISH. Too many badges.
Honestly, these cars look bad *** in stock form. Adding more badges or stickers RARE improves the image. The best thing you could do is switch out the badges, like get a different style badge but of the same thing.
You have a VERY nice and VERY rare car, keep it looking nice and clean! Change those badges!

I'm quessing your probably right and I even thought about putting them on the rear of the rocker molding but, I didn't. And I'm sure its going to be a pita to remove and retape them. I would like to try it though. Thanks for your input bro! Love your car and wish I could buy some wheels like yours.

Thanks for the nice comments but, I'm not quite sure what you mean about different style badge?

I vote to put the LOTB badges somewhere on the car. It's a badge that only technically fit the 2002 Firebirds. I would also invest in some better floor mats. Rubber floormats look like they belong in a truck, not a Firehawk. Otherwise the car looks great.

Your right! Thats funny! I knew someone would catch that. I bought those on ebay a couple of months ago. The rubber mats have the word Firehawk on them in red and the tread pattern matches my tires. I though that was kinda of cool. I just wanted them to use while driving and getting in and out of the car. To be completely honest , like a bone head I went off and forgot my carpeted Firehawk floormats at home and didn't even realize it until I was cleaning the car up a bit before the show. So anyway, I do agree with you on that one. Thanks!
curious, where did you get the door open holders, the rod that keeps the door partially open? and why didn't I know about that show in OK? oh well, doesn't matter, my car's not done yet anyways 
are you coming to TX in june for the southern pontiac nats? Car looks great, btw.

Original post...........Geez.......O-VER-DONE................too much on there man. Doesn't look good at all. IMO.
Removing LOTB..........little better. I think the "LSX" just doesn't belong on the car. Its too big and flashy. Plus, you don;t have an LSX in the car. I look at that emblem and I think of an LSX iron block.

Personally i like the lsx badges in general, but not where you have them. I have a camaro but I think they look best on the back. I have it on the driver side and the onyx with a red bowtie and z on the passenger side. I was worried bout it looking like too much but I think my car pulls it off.. My opinion tho.

Not to stray too far from the OP's post...
Kinda like my story. I don't have an lsx block....yet... but I love the whole lsx thing. It is just a placeholder for the engine series' family. Take my stripes for example; they got a lot of positive feedback, and it was a "new", never before seen stripe that I had custom made.

Obviously Sir you are entitled to your opinion, and I appreciate that, I am merely stating that I don't think his intent was to say that he has an lsx block, but rather that he has an ls series engine. That was my intent, and I love the whole "lsx" theme I have IMHO.

I bought them from a guy here in Kansas City that sells hotrod parts out of his basement. I had to modify them to fit my car. I'll see if I can dig up some contact info for you. I would think that any hotrod shop in your area would have them or could get them for you.
Probably won't make Dallas this year. I do plan on attending the POCI's 40th Annual Convention ~ St. Charles, Illinois July 17-21, 2012.
