Actually I do. I didn't stock, but had some aftermarket one's put in. I had the switches put in the center cubby hole below the HVAC controls though so they are not on the door parts

Here's a pic from when the interior was still silver:

It's a base model Firebird with no power options. The car was originally a 3.8L not the LS1 that is in it now.

Classy man, real classy. I love the fact that it looks stock. The silver vents look stock, and are GREAT with the Hvac controls, and the bullit *****... The black is great too! Engine bay is sick!
