Interesting nose...

Interesting nose... What does anybody know about the nose on this car? The pic is from firebirdgallery.com. On the site, there's two cars like this but no mention of the nose. One of the cars is a Carl Black edition with Year One stuff.

Not that exact hood... anymore... that I'm aware of.
Google image the Suncoast Raptor hood and the Superhawk hood (also, to my knowledge, no longer made). These are your closest to the one pictured above.
If you got a stock Firehawk hood you'd need to modify your front bumper a bit so it'd sit flush.

That’s interesting. Looking at firehawk.com, there’s several hundred Fire Hawks listed with photos and only a handful have this nose, maybe 10 percent. Most Fire Hawks have the regular nose.
There’s no mention in any descriptions of the different nose. It’s the different bumper cover with the outboard fog lights and round corner light that I’m talking about, not the hood.
At firehawk.org, most of the cars have the regular nose. It shows a 1999 Fire Hawk Pilot with the different nose. There’s also this 1998 car.
I’d still like more info about these. Was it a special order that could be added to a Fire Hawk? Can this bumper cover be found today?

All Firehawk Formula's from 98-02 had that "look". The TAs had the same hood, but stock bumper I believe.
To get that bumper cover you either have to modify a stock Formy bumper, or find a wrecked/parts Firehawk. Good luck with that. If you do find one, it sure will be $$$!

Hey Super thanks for the info BUT I’m still mystified by this. If it was a Fire Hawk bumper cover, why did only a handful of Fire Hawks have them? How did a person order or receive a Fire Hawk with this bumper cover?
As most Fire Hawks have the regular nose, I’m thinking this bumper cover was NOT part of the Fire Hawk package and somehow the owner ordered it.

Allright, I've got it now, thanks guys. I guess I've been so conditioned to seeing T/A style bumper covers that I thought they were all like that. I like this bumper cover much more than the T/A style.
It's GM part 12335524 somewhere around $350.00.

The bumper in pics on the Firehawks, like said previously "look" like the standard bumper, but have been slightly modified to accept the hood.
To my knowledge, you cannot purchase that bumper cover (pictured on Firehawks not the basemodel Formulas).
You'll need to find a wrecked Firehawk that's being parted out or something.
Good luck.
