Default Trans am REAR bumper on Formula???

Anyone ever put a trans am rear bumper on a fomula or firebird? Does it look alright even though there are small lips on the bottom of the bumper? It lookes like the height isnt an issue. I would get the ground affects too but then the front bumper wouldn't line up... so can I get away with just the rear? I want to put one on my formula and do the ceta mod. Anyone have any pics of a firebird/formula with that bumper or pics of trans am with the ground affects taken off?

If you have your formula cover off take a pic so i can see where to trim my bumper support, I'm going the other way T/A to a formy.

I like his car. I agree though, just !badge it, then it'll look sweet. I don't thing blacking out the markers looks very good on our cars, clears are the way to go in my opinion. Lol it only ****** his car more when people quote him and don't delete the pic links.

I know this is an old thread, but one idea I had was to use the rear bumper & side ground effects from a T/A and the front ground effects from the base V6. Has anyone done that or thought of that?

Here's a couple older shots of my car. It doesn't have the front ground effects, but it might give you a good idea.

Thanks.
That looks better than just having the rear bumper.

I think you should go with the TA skirts if you do the bumper.
