I hdo recall seeing some of the 70-73 Firebirds havethe endura bumper's lower 'lip' painted black - and that just makes sense to me...

Here's my question (primarily directed to you 70RAIII);
Has the body colour versus natural (grey) front/lower signal housing deal been figured out??

I personally only see them grey on "restored" cars, and aside from it looking kinda stupid, it has always bothered me...



WOW!!

This was definatly something I would like to have done...

RE "limited run": how much time do I have to email you & send the latch(es)?
The front parking light housings(at least that is what I call them) were body color on 1970 and 1971 Trans Ams for sure, no debate,none at all. Took me for ever to agree to that one. My 1st TA had them argent silver and I was just so damn sure that car was original, yes took me a while to learn very few are original. But I know the base Firebirds were argent silver, I am pretty sure the Formulas were silver,but not sure. If I was pressed, I would say only the TA's have the body color,leaving all others,including Formulas, silver. Someone else who knows Formulas better can confirm this. I could(and probably am) wrong on Formulas' colors/finishes.
