Default Firebird Cme?

I know they dont make any type of rear bumpers with a CME for the firebird but I was wondering if anyone has though about this or photoshopped this done?

Not trying to down you or anything, but I can't see it looking any better than shitty.

Even though I think this would look bad, I'm willing to try.

Somebody find a good rear-end shot of a Trans-Am. I can't find any good ones

There's a factory lip kit for 4th gen Firebirds, but not TA's. They came on cars ordered with the W68 appearance package and (in this case) made the rear look more like a TA (accented the dual exhaust pipes). If you buy them new-off-shelf, they're a shitload of money. They are also incredibly hard to find for sale used.

Here's a pic from a random cardomain site:

Man... You'd have to redesign the whole bumper to get it to look right. Nevermind.
The license plate kills the effect. It would make the exhaust hang too low, and it would also clutter the center of the car.

It wouldnt hand to low with the body kit bumper and thats fiberglass so it wouldnt be that hard to get rid of what you dont like on it. Id like ot see some oval tips shopped into that bumper I did.

Thanks for the covering the plate lol, I felt kinda bad after I left it there.
I used a member's NBM Camaro SS. I just took the bumper off of his and molded it to my T/A.. Then did some color changing and covered up some stuff.
