Default Question about Formulas

Do all Formulas say Formula instead of Firebird on the door? There's a Firebird I see around here that sounds really beefy but it doesn't say Formula anywhere, it just has Firebird emblems.

the formula has the firebird emblem on the back rigth under the brake light. formula is written across the bottom of each door. Maybe it's a formula nd he put fibebird badges on it to maker peoplr think its a v6....I almost did that with mine.

My 95 only had Formula stickers on the front and rear bumpers, nothing on the doors. If that car has Firebird emblems on the door, he might have swapped a V8 in it.

Yeah, it looked nice. I didn't notice the badging was shaved though.

Yessum. I like it that way. A guy in a Stang GT raced me and when he pulled up next to me at the light he said "It had more than I thought". Thats exactly what I wantedt to hear

yeah it should say formula on the door. My car has no badges on it at all the only way people knows its a firebird is cause everyone remembers knight rider lol. and its got a screaming chicken and it says Pontiac on the middle of the back between the tail lights. other then thats its totally debaged, no sail birds, no nose bird, no cowl decals and no door decals. all black and nice and clean the way i like it.
