Looking for a specific pic... 85-89 Birds only

I am looking to either Photoshop my own or have someone 'Shop me up a desktop wallpaper and/or a sig. It will have a number of shots in it of F-Bodies, but I am missing one pic--I need a pic of an 85-89 Bird, must be a base model (NO T/A's or Formulas!) and have the 90-92 Z28 spoiler. I would use my own car for this, except that I don't have the angle I am looking for and my paint isn't worth crap (not to mention I just repainted my p/s headlamp door off-color because i didn't have any black and i don't need oxidation on the door from water seeping through the primer).

I am looking for a pic with the viewing angle from the front, and being able to see from the nose to the tail, since this pic will end up in the middle (of six cars) at the moment. I don't mind whether the car has a stock or a RAII hood, but would prefer stock since that is where I will probably end up.

Any takers?

BTW, if this is in the wrong section, mods, feel free to move it .

:edit: Changed my mind. Formy's okay, just might have to delete the front emblem when I 'Shop this... Still not looking for a T/A though. Either way, I am still looking for an 85-89 'Bird with the Z spoiler.

Re: Looking for a specific pic... 85-89 Birds only

1. First off, I know my Bird isn't the only one in America being an 85-89 Bird with the 90-92? Z spoiler.
2. Let's just have a pic of the desired angle on a nice shiny black Bird since I will probably end up cutting the spoiler off for the middle emblem design. The angle is shown below. Yes, the pic was copied off of eBay, and if this is anyone's Fiero, I apologize, but this is the angle I am looking for. 2 Camaros will be to the left, a 4th Gen and a couple other cars to the right, so this is what I need:
Oh, and if the pic could be at a little higher angle so one could see at least the hatch, I'd be much abliged (sp?).

Just for the sake of technical accuracy, '91 was the first year for the highrise Z28 spoiler.
