I know they have them for the sail panels and front fenders,where else would they be located.
And the fenders are not decals their plastic.

Well I know that it's just I heard that the decal for the front was located on the hood. I was just wondering if that were true or not.

What I can gather,if your car had the Accent stripe package,the bird went on the bumper cover,if not it went on the hood.Check your RPO code.

Small bird on the bumper cover, large bird on the hood.

Sail birds are not accurately placed my stock ones were off by 1/4" from one side to the other, front to back and 1/8" different off the lower body line.

Were did you get the info on your decal placement???(1/4" side to side and 1/8" from body line).
I always thought their was a target area,within 1/4"-1/2".

Re: 1986 Firebird Decal Locations

I measured mine before I got my car repainted. Those numbers was the difference in the measurement from one side to the other on my T/A.

One bird was a 1/4" farther back and 1/8" lower on the sale panel than the bird on the other side. So they are within a 1/2" if that is their target area, which still isn't very accurate.

Once I got the car painted I averaged the measurements out and placed the new birds at that location. I know it was a little over kill but that is just me
