Naw, Would look cool with a big *** front mount though. But I would pick the stock T/A bumper over that if you were NA in a heartbeat

inside your windshield... thats where mine is.... yea right my car is freakin sexy with that bumper filler and my white bird...


as for this bumper.. i'd have to agree on if you don't have FI stay with the OEM T/A bumper cause it's super sexy... but if you have Fi or plan on getting FI with a FMIC this is the best way to go.

I've taken these bumpers all the way off I know what it looks bare and trust me this will look retarded without an intercooler there. RETARDED !!!!!!!!!

you will be doing alot of this

Yeah I am considering that bumper when I go front mount, but wouldnt do it without a FMIC. If you dont even have headers yet, I wouldnt bother looking at things like the above just yet

Honestly, i dont think it looks bad at all. It has a grill you could buy for it. Well i got a formula and im not a fan of my front bumper so i guess maybe its cuz im use to my uglyness. But I would have to buy all the lights wiring ETC to change it for me other than that i dont think it looks that bad guys..my 0.02

That body kit is god awful hideous!

The headlights start it off. That's just plain stupid. Flip-ups are a stylistic cue of the Firebird, AND part of what makes it appealing in the first place. Seriously, if someone really hates them that much, why not spend less and buy a Camaro? Instead of buying the more expensive car, then spending more money still only to hack it up and make it look like ****? Look at the front of that thing, it looks cross-eyed. Combined with that gaping maw it looks like a drooling idiot.

Which is the other point - those holes are way too big for an intercooler, and the center bar makes even less sense. A more logical, and probably better looking even, option would have been to make a smaller overall hole with no center bar. Much like the Camaro grill.

Well my first thought when I saw that bumper was what the hell is that?! It may look much better with a grille but I would definetely rather but the money towards some headers

the bumper has potential, but the openings just seem too large. people should keep small children and pets away from the front of that thing!
