Can someone link me to a LT1 Trans Am Front Bumper with the large foglights? I can't find anything locally for my friend who is the one that needs it. So I'm going to be stuck going online for him.
Just to get an idea, we stopped by the dealership and the guy said he could do the front bumper for 535 total.
Personally I think that's outrageous, and he wasn't to keen on that **** either.
I know these bumpers are hard to find, especially in comparison to the other stock firebird bumper.
Any help would be appreciated.
And I have a question myself about that bumper. What model did it come on? The WS6 or something? We're not sure if it's his original bumper because when he got it and we started going over it, we started finding all kinds of **** like holes for the brackets of a nitrous bottle and other ****. Car runs like a brand new car, just we can't be sure of what's original and what's not, even the paint looks brand new. It's not salvage or anything, just curious about that bumper.
Only reason I ask is because every lt1 trans am I see around here, has the normal firebird/formula bumper, and the few ws6's I see have the bumper pictured. I'm sure they're trans ams that I'm seeing, not just regular v6 or formulas.
Here's a picture of it to clear up any possible confusion.

I'm a little bit confused when you say there are holes for nitrous bottle mounting and such but here goes.
The bumper you have pictured is the one all Trans Ams had. The firebirds came in the following body styles.
Firebird - Base V6/bodywork
Formula - V8 car with basic Firebird body
Trans Am - V8 car with different front/rear bumper, raised spoiler (later models), side skirts
WS.6 - Could be applied to formula or Trans AM. Pretty much gets you the hood speaking purely in terms of body work.
As far as finding a new one, try some local salvage yards. They may have a Trans Am that has a bumper in good shape. Local body shop can strip it and get it painted.
