Anyone ever seen this golden bird?

When I bought my car some years back, I noticed it had this gold Firebird adhesive emblem that the guy put over the center bird on tail lights. Anyone ever seen one of these before? I have never seen another one like it. I think It's kinda cool wouldn't mind having another one to stick on my toolbox or something.

I think it would look pretty trashy and out of place pretty much if it was stuck anywhere else on the car, unless you knew better you would never know that tail piece wasn't from the factory because it fits perfectly in the cutout. But like I said I want it for a toolbox, so if you want to take it off your dash and have a gummy residue there and send it to me sure. Pm me. I don't blame you though I think I would be pissed if someone stuck it on my dash or map pocket or anywhere else on the car.

Yep, I have seen it before. I don't care for decals/emblems/or stickers much. Its funny that when I saw a decal like that it wasn't on a Firebird.
