First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... The repo looks good just sitting here :-) It seems to match the original in every detail except the entire back side is chromed. I don't like the raw edge either. I'd like to cut it with a hot knife but doing that to the exact dimensions is probably impossible.
