Firebird XS
So, I was looking on e-bay and saw a listing for Firebird XS fender badges.

I did some looking and saw that these apparently were factory cars sold in California (I believe LA) with a sport package. Was it appearance only or were there other features as well related to suspension and drivetrain?

Re: Firebird XS
I want to think that the XS was a Dealer package. To my knowledge the only special offereing that GM did was the Z20 package which included the wheel spats similar to a 2nd Gen. The XS was kind of like an RS equivelant in some test markets, there is really little information about them... I want to think California and Colorado were the test markets...
HOWEVER it may have been a dealer sticker thing...
