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)

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

Yes, the hatch was stock. About the only thing stock on that car. LOL. I had to sell the 94 to get the 30th. Not a bad tradeoff at the time.

the second time my bumper was replaced the body shop said they were going to try to get an aftermarket bumper if GM didn't make the bumper anymore (but i was able to get another new GM) but they said that the logo might not be embossed in it. remembering the first time it was replaced and the body shop asking me if i wanted to spend the extra $50 for it or not (which was actually the insurance co) i said yes i do because i want it to look stock. any time i see one without that logo its a telltale sign the bumper has been replaced.

luckily on my car there was no real front end damage othe than the bumper skin itself.

FWIW someone at the T/A nats told me that GM was discontinuing the 3D bird decals

They probably stopped making them in 10 years ago when rhe fascia was redesigned.
Suppliers are contracted to make a limited amount of service parts even after the model is changed or out of production.

the RPO for the spoiler is T43

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.
