+1 on the missing sticker. Left mine off when the car was repainted after a wreck 9 years ago. Make it much cleaner looking and easier to wax.

great thing about those decals is that they are already painted to match the color of your car. I would get a black one to put on the yellow.

This has nothing to do with anything, but WHY do people always spell bumper, "bumber?"

The color looks different from the hood, might have had the nose piece replaced

Yeah, I'll say it's high dollar. I bought a new one for my car last summer, it was about $45 from the dealer.

I'm looking at a 93 Firebird sales brochure, and it shows the bird on the nose.
