Default Firehawk Front bumper

Where or who do I need to talk to for a Firehawk front bumper cover 98-02. I have a new Trans Am cover but my hood seats on top of the bumper around the ram air.
Any info would be greatly appreciated

The Firehawk bumper is a normal T/A bumper cover, its just cut to fit the Firehawk hood iirc.

You'll have to plan for capping or smoothing out the cut off edge. SLP glued down a triangular cap that has the firehawk emblem on it. They are obsolete but can still be found from time to time in sale ads. I would imagine something could be fabricated or the material could be sculpted with appropriate filler to make a clean edge.

Just take it to a professional bodyshop if you are afraid to mess with it.

The same way your hood is sitting on top of the bumper trace an outline on the bumper then cut it. I used a dremel took like 15 mins
