Cool, I'm glad you like the painted nose. I've had a few '69 Camaro's and while I still love them, I felt the Firebird could compete if it was done right. I see too many mediocre Firebirds at the car shows and it bothered me enough to do something about it. At first my friends thought the T/A rear spoiler was too much, but once I got the nose on there it balanced it out nicely.
I have an aluminum splitter for the front spoiler as well, just haven't decided if it's the right look for the car. I was planning on using some Nascar style spoiler supports from the lower valance to the splitter.
The front spoiler is a Camaro part and I used the Camaro mounting kit and support rods behind it. The only thing I had to do was Dremel out a couple of notches in the top of the plastic to clear a couple of small humps in the bottom of the valance. It even used some of the existing holes, most notably the center hole which was nice for lining it up. I've gotten quite a few compliments on the front spoiler from other bird owners. If you didn't know better, it looks factory.
