Re: Firehawk Font...

Its probably a graphic.

I'm about 99% sure that thirdgen firehawks did not have decals on the door but had decals on the rear bumper. Pretty sure the thirdgen firehawk that added the decal to the door wasn't stock. The firehawk was to appear like a stock base model firebird or formula until your opponent seen the rear bumper.

There were at least two different fonts used for the 91/92 Firehawk door stickers. They are different from the 93+ cars. Unfortunately I have no idea what the font is called. Dave from SLP would be your best guess for an answer.

That's the one I thought you were talking about. You needing decals, or just want the font foe web design? A decal would be rather simple. Finding a complete 'Firehawk' font might be tricky.

It took me awhile, but I found a Camaro and a Pontiac GTA font. Kept coming CLOSE, but FINALLY found the CORRECT ones. Took over A YEAR to get it SPOT ON!

This one correct then?

Unfortunately that font is incorrect for the 92 cars. The font you have shown is for 93 and up cars..... there is a difference.

I don't have a good, straight-on shot, of the 91/92 Firehawks to compare it too, so I dunno.
