Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is proud to offer our clients this : 1979-1981 Pontiac Firebird Formula and Trans Am Smoke Fuel Door Assembly with Gold Bird Emblem and Hinge Bracket, OER R278148.
Restore the center of your Formula or Trans Am rear tail-light panel with this complete OER reproduction fuel-filler door assembly. Manufactured from injection-molded materials to original specifications, it features the correct factory-style smoked appearance and recessed emblem area.
A gold-and-black Firebird bird emblem and red lower reflector complete the authentic appearance. The hinge and swing-arm bracket assembly is preattached, making this a convenient replacement for a fuel door that is cracked, faded, damaged, missing, or no longer operating correctly.
This gold-bird version is appearance-correct only for 1979-1981 Formula and Trans Am models originally equipped with the gold-and-black rear bird emblem. Although the assembly may physically interchange with other Firebird models, its smoked Formula/Trans Am appearance is not correct for Base Firebird or Esprit models.
