exactly what emblems came on US GTAs?

My '91 GTA only has 4 emblems. 2 on the fenders that say "GTA" and 2 firechickens between the rear hatch and the door windows.

I want to order emblems from gtaemblems.com. But, their 1991-1992 kit has 7 emblems!

I've never seen a headlight emblem on a 3rd gen. And I do not think that 91-92 GTAs have emblems for the front bumper.

Am I mistaken?

Maybe this is something that Australian GTAs have, but not US models?

Thanks!
Bill

If the headlight cover is anything like base model firebirds, then no you dont have a headlight emblem. Everything else is correct though I believe. There is a nose emblem on 91-92 GTA's, as well as fenders and B pillars. The other nose emblem I dont know where that goes though.

Some of these have the nose emblem, some don't. Did all GTAs have the nose emblem?

Also, it looks like the emblem is flush with the rest of the nose (like it is painted on). Hmm...

But, there is no headlight emblem in any of these pics.

The '91-'92 GTA had a nose emblem, but it wasn't the metal one, like the eariler years.
This emblem is a soft, plyable, stick on emblem, not as thick as the metal emblem, and body color likt the metal emblems on the rest of the car.
The flush headlight covers of the '91-'92 have the embossed Pontiac in the one headlight cover, on the top, facing up, on the closed down position.
The eariler ones (GTAs) have a front lower end showing, which would have a gold Pontiac emblem, in plastic.

Hope this helps,

George
