Not stupid at all. I mean if you wanna be technical, they should only go on the 02's. But the badge looks great on all 98-02 models....The problem you may have is finding where to buy the badge. They are quite rare and hard to find from what Ive read on here

Mixed opinons.
We've been thru this already, I voted '02 only.
IMO, they belong on the '02's.

I've seen an LT1 with them. A decade off is pushing it, and they should only be for 02s, but you could at least get away with it since the 98+ cars for the most part all look the same.

IMO..... ( yea opinions as like *** holes I know)

If you want to go for it. What does the badge say? 1967 - 2002 correct? There is your anwser! I would personally put it on the last generation, but it is all up to you. Screw what others think it is your car.

Not my flavor, but if it was I'd only put it on a 2002.

I feel like this: technically last of the breed should only entail one car. We don't know exactly which was the very last one, so who cares. So long as its on the last generation of firebirds It's all gravy to me.

I would throw some retro birds on there before I would do a LOTB emblem... Let's be honest, we all know it's not a LOTB year car... You wouldn't be asking the question if you felt it was alright...

In other words my vote is no, and I do NOT own an '02 car...

Just be creative and do something cooler...

I agree.

It is your car so do what makes you happy but I personally believe it should only go on an 02

4th gen only. IMHO, last of the breed means the last generation produced, not the last year of production...
Get 'em if you can find 'em. Last I searched they ran around 85 bucks w/ key chain and certificate. $$$.
