Preview. I didn't want to put the Firebird Emblems on the fenders, because it looks cleaner w/o them. So here's one of them in action

And the final touch! Got these painted for free because I removed the spoiler to be painted separately.

Cost:
Valve covers: $25 + tax
Pass Fender: $12.50 + tax
Paint: $570
Result: Priceless
The final color that's on the car is dupont's Cherry Red Metallic. Suddle yet beautiful!

It's not as good if you look close up though. Where I had a dent in the left 1/4 panel, they used bondo and it bubbled, and there a bunch of paint spots on the driver door, so the car is goin back July 9th to be fixed. And they left a piece of TAPE on the spoiler so the tape is painted too!
