Re: Plastic or fiberglass

They should all be plastic such as urethane. I don't think they used any fiberglass in third gens, but I could be wrong.

The straight wings are fiberglass, the wrap wings are metal and rubber. All the firebirds I have stripped all had urethane gfx. Camaro spoilers and wings are also fiberglass.

Re: Plastic or fiberglass

I knew I forgot one, the door pieces for the ground effects are fiberglass.
And I have to add that the 85-90 TA wrap wing is rubber over metal, but the 91-92 wrap wing is fiberglass with plastic inserts.
