Regarding the hood stripe as discussed in another thread---
Should I post on the Pontiac forum and ask if someone has one they could measure?
Width would be most important anyway. It would be a freehand design at the front anyway because the 94 spans the gap at the bumper cover and goes another few inches to the bumper bird. I have a ram air hood like pictured so it has to stop earlier anyway.
Does anyone here know someone who owns a 94 Trans Am 25th anniversary car? I would like to get a couple of good pictures and a width measurement off the stripe on the hood and spoiler.

I'll keep an eye open here. I used to have measurements and widths of factory stripes going back into the 60's. I used to measure up original cars I found in wreckers way back as well as original cars on the street. I even aquired a few factory blueprints of painted stripes.
However, after my wife and I split quite a few years ago, a lot of my stuff just disappeared. So my archives are gone!
Thanks Doug. I've found lots of pics online, ebay included but it would be nice to have specs for it.
I can guess pretty close but it would be nice to have specific.
Ya, sorry Carl, I have a Firebird book, but all it has in it are options, etc. Nothing about measurements at all......however, it does say that list price for the anniversary option package was $995., so the stripe should have been about $50 of that, lol....
I visited Phoenix Graphics a few years ago while in Arizona. I bought a stripe kit from the owner for our 81 Z28 Camaro. At the time he was located in a automotive strip mall and his main source of equiptment was a computer and graphics making stencil decal machine. Very nice guy as he let us tour his shop.
He was just getting the hood bird done for the firebird with the almost complete hood bird decal. With the GM license and his repo costs he had over $ 50,000 invested in that decal. The biggest problem he was having was to repo the eye on the bird. He was very passionate about getting it done correctly.
After the vist I didn't mind paying $290 US for the camaro kit.
I know the price has dropped but I bought mine when they first came out about 15 years ago. GM could not supply the complete kit back then as each piece had its own part number.
