Default Firebird Facelift

The current paint (GM Code 72 - Brilliant Red Metallic) was shot in 1990. The endura nose on my 71 Formula is starting to crack and I have some acid rain spots in the paint as well so my car is going in for a 3 week "spa treatment and facelift".

Basically just taking the endura nose down and redoing it with modern flex agents and doing a scuff & shoot on the rest of the car with a little more time spent with a long board and panel alignment.

The questions (poll) is to get your opinion on shaving the side marker lights or leaving them on the car? And whether I should keep the "Formula 400" and "P O N T I A C" emblems on the car or fill the holes and remove them?
Keep the car the same color or change it to Prowler Orange or something else.

The mods might clean up the overall look of the car... but removing the emblems might also detract from what the car is... after paint it'll get the full pro-touring treatment with wheels/tires/brakes... let me know your thoughts.

V/R,
Ty
