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.

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
