GTA emblem help!!

i bought this 89 5.7 tpi ttop gta t/a and its completley debadged and cant find for the life of me where i can get the hood emblem, side emblems, quarter panel emblems, and if possible where to get the big firebird for the hood without painting it on. i read somewhere the factory gave the firebird decals out with the purchase of the vehicles on or off the car at the discretion of buyer so they have to be out there... any clues on these emblems and the firebird for the hood vinyl/sticker? although it would look better painted on, i dont doubt that one bit.

The 86 Trans Am had the factory option for the big bird on the hood.

Re: GTA emblem help!!

You got the deal of the century if you got all of those GTA emblems for $50! And, they were new!

Make sure you put them in the correct spot, nothing screams f#cked up like emblems in the wrong spot. See it all the time. I suggest making patterns with paper/shading on a correct car and then moving the patterns to your car. Line everything up and you'll be good to go. Post pics of the car when you get done.

Re: GTA emblem help!!

Frankie at gtasourcepage.com can help you with the proper placement - by PM. There seem to be some out there that want to mis-represent what they have.

As for the emblems themselves, Thirdgenranch.com has them listed for '91-'92 cars:

http://www.thirdgenranch.com/catalog/category/5353658

These miss the gold PONTIAC for the left front headlight door as that was changed for '91-'92. Also, the gold bird between the taillights is not included as that was also changed. However, I believe Moderndaymuscle.com carries those extra bits.

Anyway, I hope you can find what you need.

Gary.

You seriously must be new to the internet if you couldn't find a source that sells GTA emblems just by doing a simple Google search.

You can't tell by the Vin. Needs to check on the Service Parts Identification (SPI) label inside console lid. He needs to check out the site.

I've always thought about putting a bird on my car, but its needs body work. Its so hard to find ground effects for a 92 GTA! I also need to find the badges.
