yes but the nose does not have the embossed firebird symbol in the plastic...looks like its an aftermarket nose(you can also see a difference in color from the nose and the rest of the car). so i want the original embossed look and yea i guess i can buy the bracket kit and im asuming use rivets to put it on...

that embossed symbol you are referring to is not a part of the bumper. it's a 3d plastic sticker. I've had 2 bumpers replaced on my car (only the skin got damaged, once by a car wash hitting something with it and once by a bale of hay dropped by a farmer) and both times the insurance co replaced them and on the bill was a separate $50 emblem (i don't remember the part number)

Had some repairs done on my Old `94 Formula and the nose emblem was replaced aswell.

Suppliers are contracted to make a limited amount of service parts even after the model is changed or out of production.

T-tops seem to be a rare find on 93 T/A's for some reason. i seem to see more hardtop LT1's that are 93's than any other year. T-tops were pretty high on my lisf of required options when i bought my car. i also wanted the uplevel spoiler. I didn't find out until after i got my car (2004) that the spolier was optional. i used to see T/A's without it and thought that someone did a T/A clone and did the gfx and bumpers, but not the spoiler.
