you might try phoenix graphics, I got my Camaro anniversary stripes from them. I think that their website is phoenixgrafix.com but I am not positive. I have also seen the anniversary stripes for firebirds on other websites but I cant remember where. But I do know they are out there and available.

I like mine and they are vinyl. It is up to your own preference, painted will last longer but vinyl is a lot cheaper.

Have them as the stickers are good, but you will always have to hand wash your car and be careful or the sticker will peal off, painted, which i am doing would be better.

Default paint rather than vinyl
me, having paint i would definitely go with paint. Mine are a mix of pearl and black so them sparkle in the light, also with paint you can add effects if you wanted (like mine) with vinyl your stuck with what you got and anyone else could get the same thing

Once they are painted they can't be taken off if you change your mind.

Consider that. Doesn't leave any option in the future if you wanted to change things up.
