as far as colors, i havent ever heard any different. My white v-6 has a red bird, and my red ls1 has a red bird. I know for a fact aftermarket companies make them in different colors but as far as factory colors i dont know. If youre interested in a different color pm me i own a graphics shop

yea i did on the spare on i bought. I bought a new center section off of ebay for cheap and it had a very faded dull bird. So i took some compounds and buffed away by hand. got some plastix polish and buffed it the rest of the way i'll take a picture for ya tomarow to show you just a black out polished by hand.

i used some rubbing compound i had from a buffing kit for my dremel. it came off very easily. I think i also tried wet sanding it at 400 grit and worked my way up to 2000 grit then polished it with meguirs plastix it worked real good for doing it all by hand. Anything i usually do my self i either take a really long time on or it doesn't come out right. This took i think a full day taking my time. and it turned out way better than i expected.

lets see some pics of it finished up! has anyone ever body matched the center peice and then rounded off the ends of the tailights with the same color? To make it look like two oval tailights on a bumper like a camaro almost? i dont know if it would look good or bad, just a thought

when i bought my car, the bird was faded to that gray color, so i decided instead of going oem red, to do a black on gold package
heres my tail panel
and heres a pic of my wheels with the bird logo in gold
