i found a stripe set i want to get for my firebird (96) and i was wondering if they would fit cause they dont give me a width or anything.
http://www.autografics.com/pages/birds4.htm
thats the link. after clicking that, click stripe sets then find the "Ram Air Style Stripes"
would those fit on my hood? cause i know my hood has the little vents that are indented into the hood instead of comming out like the newer hoods. i figure they would fit sense the ram air scoops are comming up instead of pushed down like my hood.

Those probably wouldn't look too good on your car. They are designed for the Ram Air hood....obviously.
I would recommend taking your car to a body shop, and just asking about some stickers.
Personally, I think that money would be better spent under the hood, but it is only an opinion.
I just looked through all that site, and I can honestly say that some of their products look cheap. I love that cheap ass version of the WS.6 emblem. :lol:
The only thing I could see myself buying off that page would be the door 'Trans Am' stickers and the license plate cover sticker. But, I would rather take the time, and paint them myself anyways. That way I don't have any stickers trying to fall off on me.

Yeah, I dont see why they wouldn't fit. They might not be a perfect fit of course, since it's designed for a different type of hood. But you could always trim it to size.

Just me. I have never been a fan of any kinda of sticker.
Seriously go talk to a body shop. They might be able to get something cut up for you.

good lord what a list. how long did it take you to do all that stuff?? and what cat would you suggest?

I would recommend changing cats only if you need one, or if you are going with headers, and want a hi-flow cat.
I went with hi-flow SLP cats when I installed my headers. I will use them again, but I am knocking them out, so it only looks like it has cats.
I have had my car for almost 3 years now....been an ongoing process. Never going to be finished.

Not sure if this site has what you're looking for, but they have a large selection of headers for the V6's.
