I think I've had them since 93 or 94. A guy approached me at a car show who had totaled his TC, he was able to take them off the car before the ins. co. took it. He ask me if I'd be interested in them and since I had been wanting a set I told him most defenately! I've only seen one other Bird in my area with them and that's been years, so they're a rare find these days.

I LIKE IT!!

What make hood is that?? I also like the two tone dark grey. Mine is dark grey and I may black out the top where yours is also darker.

I never thought about headlight covers...may have to find a set. Where did you get yours?

The hood came from usbody.com, it thier 3" cowl induction dominator hood. The top is actually black, it's been repainted but it's the original colors. I got the headlight covers from Summit Racing. I would imagine you can still get them.

That was one of the rear pillar emblems. I had replaced them with new ones and kept the old ones in case I found another use for them. I also painted it black so it would show up better. You like?
