i need pictures of an 87 with a hood bird

Remember the gold hood birds on the 79 T/As. i'm thinking about putting one of the big gold ones on the hood of my 87. i'm repaiting the entire car black so I thought the gold bird would look good and it would match the gold emblems i have on my car already. Does anyone have any pictures of an 87 that has the full hood bird on it? I just wanted to use it as a reference and to see if it looked good before i went and bought the decal.
Thanks.


I want this type of bird


on this car

This isn't my car but I found this on a google image search.



I love the hood birds, once I paint my 91 T/A 'vert I'm getting one!

i wanted one that went over the entire hood just like the birds on the 79s hood. I know the little vents on the front would get in the way but i plan to take those out.

Not gold but it's a 79-80 hood bird :


I think a 1981 hood bird would look better on a 3rd Gen.

That's a very nice firebird. That looks like a scene from a movie. Where is this from?

this is the exact bird that my 89 had before it got wrecked, but mine is black and gold.

instead of destroying a perfectly good t/a hood, wanna trade for a firebird hood?

That's what I'd like to do to my hood. I'd like it painted on rather than a decal.
