Need some help distinguishing a Firebird

Ok, my sister just got a 92 Firebird. It's in awesome condition an was owned by a girl before. I don't know too much about the options that came w/ the 92's, and I'm trying to figure out if its rarer than a normal Firebird. It probably isnt, but I'm curious.
First, the body kit on it looks stock and the spoiler isnt the one that wraps around the back. Its the kind w/ the two legs that spans the back of the car. Is this normal for the 92's?
Next, the interior is all tan....even the headliner between the t-tops. Is that normal?
The rims on it are gold and lastly its got a dark green paint job. I've never seen a 3rd gen Firebird w/ green paint before and I dont think it was repainted. Whats the story on that?
Like I said before, I've done other research on the 92's, but I didnt find much. I figured you guys would be able to help out.

Everything you mentioned is normal for a 92 firebird. I think the green color was available starting in 90 or 91. The spoiler is the standard spoiler for all non TA, GTA, Formula birds. I think in 91 & 92 the spoiler was standard on all firebirds. If it has gold rims they are probably the 15" ones not like the 16's on GTA's. By your description I am guessing its a 6 or LO3 standard firebird. The ground effects are fairly common on all 91-92 firebirds. The formula didn't have them but most other birds whether TA, GTA, or standard had them. Look in the readers rides section for pics of 91 and 92 firebirds.

Not a perticularly rare car, Hunter Green was introduced in 91. Other than that, it sounds like a regular 91-92 bird.

I wouldn't say that car is rare, or unusual, or even particularly valuable........................ but I've seen one other car like that before, in that color scheme, and boy do they look sharp!
