I don't think he posted a pic... his sig file picture is busted though.
Personally, I like them. If you drive a 3rd Gen Firebird, folks kind of expect that there is something diffferent about you (we won't go into that). It certainly is a conversation peice.
When I had my OEM hood, I was going to add a gold bird to my hood for certain. It would have gone well with the tan top and gold wheels my car had already. I had already shopped around and found what I wanted here:

As it stands now, I just added a formula hood and will be doing this anyway but with the "bulge bird".
There are many others on this forum with hood birds. The bottom line is you should do it if you think you'll like it!

Most Trans Ams have the hood Bird.
Just about 12 inches long, and at the bottom of the hood.
Firebirds have them on the nose, about 4 inches!
I like any of them, as long as they are OEM style, not those cheap copies.
