Well here is an overview of what emblems I have had to hunt down for RAIF. None of them are stock anymore. All Stock 3rd gen emblems have been shaved/removed!

Nose bird:

2nd gen. (1974)

2nd gen. deck lid bird (1974?-1976?) Discontinued!

The Pontiac emblem you see below the bird came off my headlight bucket. When I painted them red I took this off. Now with the modified headlights...I don't even have a place to mount it. I had painted the Pontiac red and modified the letters to Dodge font. The Pontiac has now been replaced by my red Grand prix "Ram Air V-6" emblem.

This bird is also on my sail panels.

RAM AIR V6
****************************************

The "Ram Air V-6" red Grand AM emblem can also be seen on my hood, instead of the Ram Air stickers generally seen!

Before I got the 4th Ram Air V-6 Emblem I had put the PONTIAC right by the ram Air box!

Then I got another Ram Air V-6 to add in it place.

RAIF
****************************************

With my car being a Ram Air Inducted Firebird, I got the name RAIF for him. I decided I wanted to make a RAIF emblem. I looked at all the available emblems till I found one I could modify. It was a GEO Prizm emblem. I few snips and trims and a coat of paint later...

This emblem is above my license plate.

I them had the 92 Z28 GFX installed. I had to cover up the Z28 with something...I had my sign guys copy the RAIF emblem in reflective vinyl to fit over the Z28 emblem!

I also had them make a license plate for car shows!

PONTIAC
****************************************

Now with all this emblem modification, I had done away with all the stock emblems. There was nothing that said Pontiac on the car anymore. So to pay homage to Pontiac I decided to add a little something under the hood...
