93-97 formula's didn't come with the "formula" lettering door badges like all other 93-02 Firebirds did, so if he wanted those he'd have to find some off a 98-02 Formula to use like I did.
Also, for the rear letter inserts, I would highly reccomend doing inserts, not decals. I got my "PONTIAC" letters from emblempros, and they look SOOOO much better than decals. Much more defined and clean looking.
Those decals in the back look a lot better than stock, but the emblems always look better IMO.

TRue the emblem are Dope,but if dont have them..he dont have to blow the $$$ on em ...the decals look fine in-place/without the emblems ...i bought a 98 T/A with decals instead of emblems and it was fine...hey call it a !weight saving mod! LOL
Watch ebay/ls1tech classifieds for the actual door badges, they are hard to find, but usually not too expensive. I've got a couple sets for around $20 or so IIRC.
Get the badges in any color, then just sand them down and paint them whatever color. I actually painted the emblems silver, and then did the black decal overlay ON TOP of that. Black with a silver outline basically. Here's a couple older pics of my car with the polished aluminum C4 ZR1's (Very unpolished in pics
) and the door emblems...
Something like this with red instead of silver would probably look pretty sick. You could see about painting your calipers red as well then too.

i think that car needs either black Z06 rims with polished lip, Black ZR1 rims with polished lip, or black C5 deep dish rims with polished lip. none of that 3 peice wheel allen head crap around the lip tho.
it also needs a 96-97 ram air hood and it needs to be lowered

IMO...lose the hood and pick up that oem ws6 hood, keep the lights tinted but either lt1 or honeycombs will look good and swap some diff tips on there, the magnaflow stove pipes are ugh

Red lip on black wheels is a tuner thing IMO.
