So you are not getting rid of your car?

I do not think that there is anything wrong with it, like you said you have the last body style and stuff.

Are you talking about the stripe kit, if so let me know what you find because I want to do it to mine...

Rock on man. Last body style, and the differences between your '98 and the '02's are about as minimal as they come. I'm glad to hear you're keeping your car. Next chance you get to drive another LT1, you should jump on it. It'll blow your mind how slow it feels now.

Next time he calls just tell him you lost your job, and your parents refuse to co-sign for you. .... You'll never hear from him again.

Does anyone have pics of said badges. I'd have to see them to have an opinion on them. Other than that, it's your car. Do what you think looks good. Just don't put a huge wing or something on it.

My opinion is less badges > more badges - but as stated it's your car and I don't think there is anything wrong with what you want to do.

I'd say go for it. 1998-2002 qualify for last of breed IMO. They're as close to identical as you can get for different model years.

It's all opinion, but mine is that the badge doesn't make the car look better for one, and two, by my definition of last, a 1998 doesn't fit the description of last.

If you want to throw around the definition of "Last of Breed," I suppose you could put one on a 1967 if you wanted to, "it's one of the last remaining 67's" or on a 1993 "it was the last generation of firebirds."
